Teen, Had Unprotected Sex, Vagina Stings, Itchy, Soreness, Irritation.

Hi, I m 18 years old and two days ago I had unprotected sex. I never had unprotected sex before but afterwards (minutes later), my vagina started to sting and itch a little around the inside. My partner doesn t have any other sex partners and doesn t have any transmitted diseases. About 3-4 weeks ago, I got tested for an STD and they all came back negative. However, when I took a shower that night, I had a dish towel (It was pretty rough) instead of a body wash towel and I recall that I was scrubbing pretty hard down there. While my partner and I were having sex, due to his size, it hurt pretty bad because it was as if he was forcing it in and I m very sensitive down there. I also wasn t lubricated enough. When we finished, I went to the bathroom and washed myself with the towel I had used earlier when I took a shower. Then, I remembered using the dish towel for several reasons that night, I washed some dishes,I had washed off my makeup, and I used the towel to clean my hands off eating some hot wings with the exact towel I used before I went to the bathroom. The towel appeared pretty dirty but I didn t really think anything of it at the time because I cannot go without washing myself after sex, so I washed myself off with the cleanest part I seen. When I got through washing up, I layed on the bed with my underwear off to try to give it some air and that s when the burning and soreness begun. The morning I woke up, my vagina started to itch a little inside and it felt swollen but when I urinate it doesn t burn or anything. Later that day, the discomfort continued so I examined myself in the mirror but didn t experience anything out the ordinary like bad odor, yellow discharge, or redness. In fact, it appeared as normal as it always is. It s just the burning and the itching that s irritating me. Today, it s been doing the same thing so I took a shower, put some lotion on it, and didn t put any underwear on to see if it would help reduce the burning and itching. I ve had this happen to me once before due to me shaving too rough, scrubbing too hard, and wearing underwear the I most likely allergic to. I m just very scared since I had unprotected sex for the first time that it might be something that I don t want it to be. I need to know what id happening and what should I do immediately before it s something serious. Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Your symptoms might arise due to multiple causes.

Having unprotected sex is not free from disease risk however well you know your partner. But this doesn't manifest soon after having sex. It is possible that your partner has used some lubricating gel which might have caused allergy in you. However this usually lasts only for a while and you have said that you washed well down there soon afterwards.

The other and more acceptable possibility is wiping your genital area with a dirty kitchen towel. This can have chemical irritants and when they come in contact with the sensitive mucosa in your vagina, it can cause severe burning and irritation.

Hope this helps
