Aunt Vadge: pains in clitoris, vagina and labia after rough sex three months ago

Feeling low and off sex since getting the Implanon? Hormonal contraception genuinely affects mood and libido for some women. What's normal, and your options.
Aunt Vadge: why do I have a sudden urge to pee all the time?
Sudden urge to pee with barely anything coming out, and scared you'll wee during sex? It's often an irritated bladder, not infection - and the sex fear is fixable.
Aunt Vadge: My boyfriend put his cummy fingers inside of me, now I have cramps
Boyfriend put semen-y fingers inside you and now you have cramps? The risk is low - sperm dies fast in air - and day-after cramps aren't an early-pregnancy sign.
Aunt Vadge: I have green, watery discharge – do I have an STI?
Green, watery discharge - is it an STI? It genuinely warrants a check: classically trichomonas (which does pass between women), a forgotten tampon, or a bacterial imbalance.
Aunt Vadge: is discharge after sex normal?
A little white discharge on his penis after sex? Totally normal - it's your own arousal fluid. Plus a simple guide to which discharge actually warrants a check.

Hysterectomy with ovaries kept, but now night sweats and bladder leaks years early? Retained ovaries can decline sooner - and both symptoms share one root cause.

Chronic constipation, heartburn and a recurring vaginal rash with painful sex? They're likely one problem via the gut-vagina axis, not three. A joined-up plan.
Aunt Vadge: why is my vagina always dry?

Aunt Vadge: can you catch thrush from oral?
Can you catch thrush from oral sex? It's possible, but more often oral sex just disturbs your own balance - saliva is alkaline - and your own yeast blooms. The fix.
Aunt Vadge: sore clitoris after fingering, but four days later it’s not better
A sore clitoris days after fingering often isn't a tear. A trapped hair or debris under the clitoral hood is a common, fixable cause. How to check.
Aunt Vadge: why is my vagina suddenly black?
Vulva suddenly looking darker? It's almost always normal pigmentation - genital skin is naturally darker and deepens with hormones, friction and time. Plus when it isn't.
Aunt Vadge: transparent bubbly liquid coming out of my vagina
Clear, bubbly liquid every time you're aroused since you started being fingered? That's healthy arousal fluid from your Skene's glands - a good sign, not an infection.
