What Causes Itchy Vagina And Red Labia Minora After Having Protected Sex?
So I lost my virginity a week ago and I have had sex 2 times this weekend (protected) and a yesterday my vagina started to be a little bit itchy. I looked and my labia minora was a little bit red so I used some coconut oil on it but later on in the day I looked and there was white stuff from my vagina that looked like skin and I don t really know what it is. I am for sure it isn t an STD. But I really don t know, also would it be naturally treatable because I really don t want to have to tell my mother about this at all.

Protected sex doesn't mean you're safe from infections. From your complaints it is clear taht you have a fungal infection, which could not be definitely due to intercourse. Not maintaining personal hygiene or long lasting periods also may lead to this problem. You can take an anti-fungal tablet for cure, but to prevent it, maintain personal hygiene. Do not use any thing but prescribed and medically proven cremes for your vulva. Wash your vulva after sex.
