It is not uncommon to experience stomach pains after your first sexual experience, as it can be a new and sometimes uncomfortable sensation for your body. However, if the pain persists or becomes severe, it is important to seek medical advice. In the meantime, continue taking paracetamol for pain relief. Considering your concerns about pregnancy, since you used a condom correctly and it did not break, the chances of pregnancy are low. To further ease your worries, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation. For the stomach pains, you can also try taking antispasmodic medication like Buscopan to help with any cramping. If the pain continues or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

I took a Plan B pill recently, and now I'm experiencing a lot of pain on the outside of my vagina. It also feels really dry on the outside but not on the inside. Is this normal? Should I be worried or do anything to help with the discomfort?

Plan B contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that can affect your body temporarily. This can cause side effects like vaginal dryness, discomfort, or even irritation in some cases.It's likely that the pain is temporary and related to the hormonal effects of Plan B, but if you have any concerns or if the symptoms don't improve, definitely reach out to your healthcare provider.
