Question 1

I've been having this white, thick vaginal discharge, and sometimes it looks like cottage cheese. It's been really itchy, and my clitoris hurts a lot. I've been dealing with this for about five months now. Even though I've taken medication, nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I actually get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

consult gynecologist

Question 2

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I'm trying to understand if the semen is actually entering during intercourse because my wife says she doesn't feel it inside, and sometimes it comes out. She's also experiencing some pain when I try to insert it. How can we tell if the semen is actually getting in?

Accepted Answer

To improve the chances of conception, you can try using a sperm-friendly lubricant to help the semen stay inside the vagina. Additionally, you can try different positions such as placing a pillow under your wife's hips after intercourse to help tilt the pelvis and encourage the semen to travel towards the cervix. It's also important to ensure that both you and your wife are in good health, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol which can affect fertility. If you continue to have concerns, it may be helpful to consult with a fertility specialist for further guidance.
