I'm noticing this thin white layer around my vagina that sometimes curdles up into a creamy texture. It's been itchy at certain times during the day, specifically on one of the labia minora where it looks like there's some extra skin development with tiny eruptions, and there's white stuff inside. There's no burning sensation, bad smell, or discharge though. It's been like this for 3 days with no changes. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Your symptoms, including a thin white layer around the vagina, curdling into a creamy texture, itching on the labia minora, and tiny eruptions with white contents, suggest a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis), but the absence of a foul odor and discharge makes it less clear-cut; consult a gynecologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment, as other conditions like vulvar dermatitis could also be possible causes.

I've been wondering about something. My partner and I recently started having sex, we're not married, and we're doing it regularly a few times a week, including oral, vaginal, and anal. I know it might sound a bit awkward, but I'm curious if having sex that often could actually make my breast and butt size visibly larger? We always make sure to use condoms during penetration.
Engaging in sexual activity, including 3-4 times a week, does not directly increase breast or buttock size. These are influenced by genetics, hormones, and body composition rather than sexual activity. Using condoms during penetration is a great practice for safe sexkeep it up!
