I could really use someone to talk to about how my brain keeps circling around pregnancy, babies, vulvadynia, motherhood, and feminity. Having vagina problems and sex problems makes everything else extremely more difficult and I feel like I have no queer people in my life to commiserate with.

So, if any of these tags fit you, I’d love to talk.

#Repost @gynaegossip @download.ins --- 𝐎𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 💕 In support of ovarian cancer awareness month I’ve decided to try and raise awareness about the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer usually affects people who have gone through the 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 but can affect those younger. It’s symptoms are often non-specific and can be similar to other medical conditions like IBS so it can be difficult to diagnose BUT IT IS A RARE DISEASE. The causes of ovarian cancer are not yet completely understood. The risk of developing ovarian cancer is very low in young women and people with ovaries and increases as they get older. More than 8 out of 10 (80% of) ovarian cancers occur in those over the age of 50. The NHS website states to 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 if * you have been feeling bloated, particularly more than 12 times a month * you have other symptoms of ovarian cancer that will not go away * you have a 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙞��𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧 and are worried you may be at a higher risk of getting it. * you’re over 50 and just developed new IBS symptoms. 𝗢𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝘀���𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: 1 in 50 people in their lifetime will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer (2% of women). 9 in 10 people will survive ovarian cancer if diagnosed early. 11 women die every day from Ovarian cancer. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥? There are quite a number of organisations which help raise awareness and fund for people with Ovarian cancer. Here are a few: 1.

Usually insufficient lubrication or friction is the common reason for vaginal or penile burning. Surely these reasons may put damper on things but these are not life threatening. Common causes that affect everyone :- ° Insufficient lubrication ° Rough stimulation or intercourse ° Allergic reaction to products used during sex ° Allergic reaction to semen ° Urinary tract infections ° Sexually transmitted diseases ° Urethritis ° Interstitial Cystitis Common causes that affect vagina :- • Result of douching • Result of hormonal birth control • Vaginal Yeast infection • Bacterial vaginosis ° Atrophic Vaginitis Common causes that affect the penis :- ° Prostatitis • In many cases, burning will subside if you increase the amount of time spent on foreplay and use added lubrication. If sex continues to be painful, make an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare provider. #vaginalburning #penileburning #aftersex #aftereffects #aftereffectstips #sexeffects #insufficientlubrication #friction #sexstimulant #urinarytractinfection #sexuallytransmitted #urithritis #interstitialcystitis #vaginalyeastinfection #prostatitis #sexpain #painfulsex #painfulintercourse #sexfacts101 #sexfacts #sexknowledgeispower #sexknowledege #sexknowledgeishealthy #sexedmatters #sexeducation101 #sexeducators #sexpositivemovement #sexquestion https://www.instagram.com/p/CIUQHmeBbPx/?igshid=1g1he50ck9dga

Feeling Pain During Sex? You’re Not Alone

According to Psychology Today, 20% of American women (15% before menopausal and 33% after), at some point in their lives, will experience painful penetrative sex. This is not something that a lot of women are comfortable discussing, but silence regarding this issue and female sexual pleasure can cause a lot of people to believe that this is normal or that women experiencing this are 'broken'. Visiting a gynecologist is, of course, the best way to diagnose why you're experiencing painful sex. I know we are sometimes tempted to self-diagnose by visiting WedMD, but getting a professional opinion is always the best way. Your sexual well-being is worth it - trust us! Oftentimes, the solution involves a change in lifestyle or diet or a round of medication. It's simple and effective but are better left to the discretion of a professional. But if you're assuming the worst and freaking out, take a look at our list of some of the most common causes of painful sex. And see your doctor right after!  

Lubrication & Sexual Positioning

Uncomfortable sex is, sometimes, an issue of positioning. It can be that some positions doesn't suit your anatomy or there may be mobility issues that make some positions painful. Deep thrusting can be uncomfortable for people born with a tilted cervix. Don't fret. This can be remedied by getting an adequate amount of foreplay (20 minutes+) because this will help lift the entire uterus. This is very helpful for women because right after their period and immediately following ovulation, the sensitive cervix will hang lower inside the vagina and harden. This makes it more prone to being bumped during penetration. However, even after warming up and lubricating, something still feels not quite right, try a different sex position - something that allows for more control over penetrative depth. The most common cause of sexual discomfort is inadequate lubrication. When your vagina is aroused, it is built to make sure that a penis can enter it comfortably. This includes the physiological prep of vaginal expansion up to 200%, lubrication and the fun feelings which we associate genital contact with. There are a few possible causes if you're not getting 'wet' enough during sex, some of which aren't very serious at all. But if you're really healthy, there is no reason why you should not incorporate a good and safe lube into your solo and partnered play.  

STIs

Sexually transmitted infections or STIs are commonly spread through contact with another person's sexual bodily fluids or genitals. But this doesn't mean that you're in the clear by strictly using condoms or if you avoid a partner's vagina or penis. Some STIs, like gonorrhea or herpes, can be spread from your partner touching their genitals and then touching you, or from mouth to genital contact. STIs irritate the tissue around the vulva and inside the vagina - that's how it contributes to painful sex. A topical cream coupled with prescription pills are generally enough to clear up infections. But it's really important to use barrier protection like dental dams, gloves and condoms with new partners. Also, you need to get yourself tested regularly. Even with 10/10 use of barrier (including oral sex) it is suggested that you get checked for STIs every 6 months.  

Vaginal Infections

If you've dealt with unwanted bacteria or excess yeast before, you know the painful effect it can have on your sex life (same goes for UTI or urinary tract infections). Your body has a sensitive balance of pH levels and good bacteria which can be disrupted by yeast infections, UTIs and bacterial vaginosis. This leads to burning sensations and uncomfortable itching. Even if you 'think' that it's just a UTI, you shouldn't ignore it because the itchy or achy tissues are telling your brain that something isn't 'right'. Just like STIs, a quick visit to a health professional and a prescription are oftentimes enough to kick the pain and itching within a couple of weeks (you should avoid sex during this time).  

Vaginismus

Sexual pain isn't as easy to diagnose sometimes. And if your doctor already gave you a clean bill of sexual health, it could be that you suffer from vaginismus. So what

is vaginismus? It happens during any type of penetration, from sexual intercourse to tampon insertion, where your vaginal muscles tightly contract, causing a tearing sensation and an intense pain. The potential causes for vaginismus are broad. It can be due to life changes such as menopause or childbirth, intense anxiety or fear about sex, or even a result of sexual trauma. Usually though, a combination of physical and mental factors causes vaginismus to occur, which is why it is often hard to diagnose. However, if you suffer from this condition, a combination of sex therapy or counseling in conjunction with vaginal dilators and kegel exercises can help you reclaim your sex life.  

Final Words

Sex should never be painful (with the exception to certain and consensual BDSM practices). If your partner is experiencing pain or discomfort, it's vital that you stop and get to the root cause of the problem so you can adjust your sexual practices as necessary. Read the full article
