Painful Labia and Bleeding After Intimacy: Seeking Solutions - Obstetrics and Gynecology

The labia are very painful and bleeding..?


Hello, after intimate moments with my boyfriend, I always experience significant pain that can last for several days.
I feel pain in both the labia and clitoris, and there is sometimes slight bleeding.
My boyfriend usually uses his hands and oral stimulation, and it seems that he may be applying too much pressure, resulting in pain outweighing pleasure.
In the days following these encounters, I notice abnormal discharge, such as yellow or green color and an unpleasant odor, which has been troubling me for a long time...
for about 1.2 years.
Could you please provide some guidance? If a consultation is necessary, could you recommend a female physician in Taichung? Thank you.

Experiencing pain and bleeding in the labia after intimate activities can be distressing and may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. Based on your description, it seems that the pain and discomfort you are experiencing could be attributed to several factors, including potential trauma from vigorous activity, infections, or other medical conditions.

Firstly, it is essential to consider the possibility of trauma. If the intimate activities are too vigorous or if there is insufficient lubrication, this can lead to irritation or injury to the sensitive tissues of the vulva and vagina. This can result in pain, bleeding, and even the development of infections if the skin is broken. It is crucial to communicate with your partner about the intensity of the activities and to ensure that there is adequate lubrication, which can help reduce friction and discomfort.

Secondly, the presence of abnormal discharge, such as yellow or green color and foul odor, raises concerns about a possible infection. Conditions like bacterial vaginosis or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) could be contributing to your symptoms. It is important to seek medical evaluation to rule out these conditions. A healthcare provider can perform a pelvic examination and possibly take samples for laboratory testing to identify any infections.

In terms of treatment, if an infection is diagnosed, appropriate antibiotics or antifungal medications may be prescribed. If the pain is primarily due to trauma or irritation, recommendations may include using topical soothing agents, avoiding irritants (such as scented soaps or lotions), and allowing time for healing. Over-the-counter pain relief medications may also help alleviate discomfort.

Given that you have been experiencing these symptoms for over a year, it is advisable to seek medical attention. A gynecologist or a healthcare provider specializing in women's health can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan. If you are looking for a female gynecologist in Taichung, I recommend checking local hospital directories or health clinics that specialize in women's health. You can also ask for referrals from friends or family who may have had positive experiences with specific providers.

In summary, it is crucial to address your symptoms promptly. Open communication with your partner about comfort levels during intimacy, ensuring adequate lubrication, and seeking medical evaluation for potential infections or other underlying conditions are essential steps. Your health and comfort are paramount, and addressing these issues can lead to a more enjoyable and pain-free intimate experience.
