tmi but need some advice...

[christyleigh]

hi ladies,i need some advice regarding downstairs haha.

basically me and the oh had sex 2 days ago and since then i've been sore, and stingy. after attempting to have a look i seem to have swollen on one side ( on the outside, no pain inside)
. i wouldnt call it a lump but its uncomfortable and extremely sore to touch and constantly stinging...
anybody have any ideas what this could be???
sorry to ask but hey we all talk about yucky weird things on here right???

I had this a few weeks ago to hunny I wouldn't worry to much it is just the extra blood flow to the lady bits causing it to swell and sting, sit in a lupe warm bath enough to just cover your bottom half and just swish the water on to you and when towel drying dab don't rub, then apply some sudocream and lye in bed with nothing on your bottom half for about half an hour this is what worked for me x

 

[christyleigh]

really? oh that outs my mind at rest thanks hun, its seems to be getting worse but maybe because i keep checking it, i will have a bath soon but i dont have any sudocream but maybe it will soothe it anyway?

 

[SarahCarps2be]

Yeah pop some sudacrem on it, if it doesn't go down could it be an in growing hair maybe?

 

[christyleigh]

defo not ingrowing hairs hahaha. its so so sooo sore are you girls sure its nothing to worry about??

 

[SarahCarps2be]

How far gone are you?

I find after Sex, even if we've been gentle it feels like I've been battered with a baseball bat down there!!
It's been happening the past few weeks and it feels swollen too and sore sometimes.. I just soak in the bath.

If it gets pussy (sorry tmi) or anything like that or itchy n smelly then call mw, if just sore n swollen try some sudacrem n a nice bath

i'm nearly 11 weeks... will keep an eye out thanks hun xxx

Try a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel, try and lie with your bum and hips propped up a bit so you're not sitting on it, it sounds like normal pregnancy stuff from extra blood flow, engorged veins etc and nothing to worry about, just horrible for you just keep an eye on it and see doc on Monday if no better xxx

 

[christyleigh]

to be honest i'm glad its just pregnancy stuff, i'm so neurotic! i have no freezer so nothing frozen to soothe hahaha, i'm useless i think i need to go to a chemist and stock up on essentials now i'm poorly all the time, now my mind has been put at rest i will cope with it xxx

I remember something similar at roughly 20 weeks, just gave up on sex after that

 

[christyleigh]

hahaha i agree! xx

It could also be dryness, I agree with treatment, but if you have no sudocream, do you have a emollient like E45 or something? I get this when I'm not pregnant, and I split like hell , my wonderful GP prescribed me e for it. Unfortunately, pregnancy hormones do mean more dryness down there sometimes

 

[christyleigh]

yeah i have an emollient equivalent with no fragrance etc you think that would be fine???

If that's all you have, give it a go, and use it before next time you dtd (not as if you need to worry about condoms lol)
