Is this normal, or should I go get myself checked out?

[Erica686]

So. I've noticed at the age of 18 and when I lost my virginity, I started to be more sexually active. And on my later twenties, I started to have unprotected sex, and a few would ejaculate inside of me, smh (sighs). Now with my boyfriend, @ that time, when him and I was dating. I didn't care, him and I was trying to have a baby anyways. But unfortunately he has his medical conditions where he can't produce. But anyways, after are relationship was over I waited maybe a good month or so before I start messing around. Him and I was low-key still fooling around. But anyways. I notice when I started to allow and have more sexual partners. My Virgina has changed it's shape and there is also a imbalance with my hormones and the changes with my smell. And with my time of the month. I most recently had sex with with dude. And I notice a very mild odor coming from my vagina. It's not really fishy, but my urine sometimes come out strong AF. But I just wanted to know, if a man semen can throw off a woman's pH balance, or if it's something more serious. Because I notice when I have allow and let certain guys hit it (raw) that's when I really a notice a change with her. I know this girl, who says she's going through the same thing but she said it's just your pH balance and hormones thrown off. But still that's kind of embarrassed, going around and sometimes my 🐱 isn't smelling the best. So what gives?

Unprotected sex does alter the pH in your vagina. The vagina is an acidic environment and his sperm is alkaline, so sometimes there is a natural but noticeable change in odor after sex. I’ve noticed that myself. Like when I get up to pee after a guy finishes inside me, I can smell it on myself. That being said, if this is a recurring issue, it could also be a bacterial imbalance called vaginosis. Talk to your doctor about it because, if it’s vaginosis causing the odor, it can be treated and corrected.

I dont have a vagina so I'm definitely not the expert... however...

I think your theory could be right. After all a penis is a foreign object entering your body. Of course it could totally throw off your PH balance by a little or even by a lot.

I think a quick check up wouldn't hurt. Even if its just a call to your doctor. A professional opinion will make you feel more at ease about it. Or if it does happen to be a more serious problem, (my gut tells me it isn't) then at least you can find it sooner rather than later.

Yeah my neighbor he used to come in me at random times. And to me sometimes the guy semen smells like throw-up! And sometimes smells a little fishy. This is why I stop and DON'T have sex. Everyone isn't clean but also you have to protect yourself. This is when it comes down to me telling guys certain guys, I don't do casual sex. Some understand and some try to convince me and desperately beg for me to sleep with them. WOW!! But anyways thank you so much for the advice!! 😊😊

Your welcome, also just a pro tip for the future. A guys diet can have a huge impact on how "nasty" his semen is. A bad diet can lead to it being really off-putting. More fruits can make it be less toxic if that makes sense. Just for the future. Just tell the next guy to wash his dick first lol. Wish you the best of luck.

Personal experience: smoking makes cum taste worse. My fun fact of the day. 🥰

[Erica686]

Thank you, and it's the same with females too! But I don't think I'm going to be in love with anyone no time soon. And if by any means I probably had this for a while. That's why I don't do casual hookups! So 🤷.

[Erica686]

@loves2learn well this guy he doesn't smoke! But their has been others that was smoke weed and cigarettes. Yuck

[CentralPerk77]

Yea see your doctor - agreed on that. Could be several things so don’t freak out before you just get checked out :-) might wanna tone down the fun til then

[loves2learn]

Sounds like you might have a uti, bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection. Just make a gyno Appt. It’s no big deal. They can easily treat with meds. I’ve had them all (while pregnant lol).

[Erica686]

Where do they come from and girl that's not funny! Lol. Like I usually wash up after the incident is over. And I remember my neighbor who used to feel as if it was okay to come inside of me. SMFH! And these dudes no I'm not on any birth control pills they usually ask but still some don't really care. And I usually don't have any other symptoms other than the mount odor and the smell but I haven't seen any blood in the urine. But what was your symptoms like if you don't mind telling me? And thanks girl for sharing!! 😊😊

[Erica686]

But I noticed a few years back I had this thing that's called trichomoniasis. It was one of my worst experience ever! this is why I stopped having sex in the first place and decided to turn my life over to God.

[loves2learn]

It happens sometimes. Sometimes a bacteria gets introduced into the vagina urethra. Totally treatable. Just get it checked out.

[Erica686]

Okay so I must have had this for a while then!!

[loves2learn]

@erica686 it’s possible. But so treatable. Just get it checked out. No big deal.

[bowenw]

See your doctor.

[Erica686]

[bowenw]

Best of luck to you. 🤗
