“Sexual ”

Thank you for the question: Changes in vaginal sensation after sex can be due to several factors, ranging from normal physiological responses to underlying medical conditions. Some possible reasons include: 1. Normal Physiological Responses Increased Blood Flow & Swelling: After sex, the vaginal tissues may remain engorged for a while, leading to a sensation of fullness or oddness . Temporary Dryness or Irritation: If lubrication was insufficient, friction could cause mild irritation or discomfort. Pelvic Muscle Fatigue: Prolonged intercourse can lead to muscle fatigue, creating an unusual sensation. 2. Potential Medical Causes Vaginal Infections: Yeast Infection: Itching, thick white discharge, and a burning sensation. Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): Fishy odor, grayish discharge, mild discomfort. Trichomoniasis: Frothy yellow-green discharge, irritation, and a burning sensation. Allergic Reaction or Sensitivity: Reaction to condoms (latex), lubricants, spermicide, or personal care products. Hormonal Changes: Menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills, or menopause-related vaginal atrophy can cause odd sensations. Cervical or Pelvic Issues: Cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) if accompanied by pain, fever, or abnormal discharge I recommend you see a doctor for an exam if If you experience any of the following, Persistent or worsening discomfort Burning sensation, itching, or unusual discharge Pain during or after sex Spotting or abnormal bleeding Foul-smelling discharge A healthcare provider can perform an exam, run tests, and recommend the appropriate treatment if needed. If the sensation is mild and temporary, it may resolve on its own, but if it persists or worsens, seeking medical advice is the best approach. I hope this helps!
