Hi Aunt Vadge,
I was fingered by my boyfriend around four days ago for the first time, and in the beginning, it was very painful, but after some time, the pain was gone. But, a new problem has arisen.
Everytime it feels like I need to pee, but when I go to the washroom, it doesn’t work. I’m exhausted with this problem, and I even haven’t been able to sleep well during the night.
Help me, please!
Oh, yes one more thing. When he fingered me, the very next day when my period is off, and yes, there is some itching in the clit. Is everything normal?
Sincerely,

Dear Unsure,
It sounds like maybe you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). The main symptom of a UTI is feeling like you need to pee, and then nothing much comes out.
Mild UTIs sometimes get better by themselves, but often they don’t, and can be very, very uncomfortable. We’ve covered this at our UTI page, but you may need to go and see your doctor to get proper medical treatment.
If the infection gets worse, it can travel to your kidneys and cause damage. Don’t wait to get it treated.
Also, it might pay to read the guide to fingering with your boyfriend. Fingering shouldn’t hurt. It’s not fun if it hurts, and sexy stuff is supposed to be fun! Never let anyone touch you in a way that causes you pain – it’s not how the vagina works, and it will cause you other problems.
Warmest regards,
Aunt Vadge
