I have a partner who has a mustache and when he does oral sex it seems lately I am getting a bladder infection a day later. Is there anything I can protect myself from getting this?
View 1 RepliesI've several questions regarding oral sex and the spreading of STIs. (i) If a man can catch an STI like Chlamydia by giving oral sex to a woman, does the STI live in his throat and, therefore, is the only way he can spread Chlamydia by action involving his throat - kissing, giving oral sex etc? In other words, could a man have Chlamydia in his throat and be "clear" in his genitals? (ii) For a woman to catch an STI from giving oral sex to a man, does the man have to ejaculate in her mouth? Or is the act of simply taking his penis in her mouth enough for an STI to spread to her?
View 1 Replies3 days ago, I gave my boyfriend oral after we ate some food but he did not cum, it was for 1-2 min. I could not tell if he had pre-cum. I kissed him for 5 seconds and then he gave me oral. He did not insert his tongue inside me but went near my vagina but mostly on my clitoris. Since 2 days ago, I keep having brown discharge, and today it's still going but it looks more like old blood because there's some clots (that I usually get on my period but now it's brown, not red). My period is due in about 9 days according to my calendar. I also have anxiety and I worry too much so am I wrong to think this and that there's no way I could be pregnant? Or is there a chance? I know that I get brown discharge before my period sometimes but not always-- it is just weird to me because it is supposed to come 9 days later. I'm just scared that it is implantation bleeding or something. I read that implantation occurs a week or so after conception. We have not engaged in actual penetrative sexual intercourse and this was the first time we had oral sex. I know that there are cases wherein there was no penetrative sex but pregnancy occurred. My question is NOT can I get pregnant from giving/receiving oral sex. The bottom line question is: Could I be pregnant if I KISSED my boyfriend after giving him oral (with possible pre-cum as he did not ejaculate) and then him giving me oral?
View 2 RepliesI am a man and I had two oral sex encounters with a women. Licking of vagina and giving penis head to same women the HIV status is unknown. No ejaculation happen and no other activities other than kissing lips.
View 1 RepliesI made the mistake last week of both giving and receiving oral sex with another male. The other male is of unknown status and was a drug user/sex worker. I received the oral for less than a minute and gave it for roughly 10, with no ejaculation on either side.
Since then, I have had slight lower abdomen pain, a sore throat and what seems like burning urine/penis tip. I am in a monogamous relationship and really don't want to pass this on and certainly don't want to ruin my relationship by bringing this up, I'd rather deal with the guilt as this was a one time thing.
My questions are...
- What are the risks of contracting HSV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia or Syphilis? (understanding that HIV is very low, if any risk, for oral)
- Is the abdomen/pelvic pain a symptom of anything?
- If the event happened roughly 4 days ago, would I be able to test for Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea? I am going to the clinic this evening and asked them to give me antibiotics for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea anyways just in case.
- Would there be any risk of any of these diseases infecting my throat from his penis and vice versa?
- Should I abstain from any sexual encounter with my current partner? There would be no expectation of protected sex considering we are monogamous and saying no or we need a condom would certainly raise red flags.
- Am I at risk of anything else that I can't think of?
I am very worried about this encounter and would appreciate any insight and thoughts you can provide. Mainly, if you think I am at risk from this encounter and if I should abstain from any sexual encounter with my current partner given the circumstances.
I contracted HSV1 genitally 16 months ago from someone who was not aware that cold sores were a manifestation of herpes. I've not been sexually active since, but recently met a guy who I disclosed to because things were clearly going to get more intimate. He's been very understanding and accepting, but obviously nervous too. He was tested after I told him about my situation and definitely does not have anything. Last night I gave him oral, but want reassurance that he will not contract HSV1 through oral sex. Of course today he is super nervous and sees difference on his penis and is generally paranoid. I am going to have a face to face with him, but want to be as knowledgeable as possible and quite frankly its confusing. Some places I read that it can't be transmitted if i give oral because i have it genitally. Other places it seems anything is fair game as far as transmitting. Does anyone have information from a reputable source regarding the safety of my giving oral or the transmission rates of any sexual acts?
View 1 RepliesHas anyone had an upper UTI infection before? - I just got a UTI last night around 1am, burning while peeing, sluggish, etc, but later tonight I started feeling tenderness around my flank area underneath my rib cage, nothing painful, but I can feel it. I'm not sure if that's just natural gas or what. I've been drinking 100% pure cranberry juice for the past 2 hours with lots of water, so I'm wondering if that helps at all?
I get bladder infections quite often. For the last year I've had 6. I get very sick with them. I run a high fever and am in alot of pain. They last for a couple of weeks. I have to take antibiotics for them and worry about having to take so many. Does anyone else experience this problem or have any suggestions?
View 4 RepliesHas anyone else had problems with cystitis/bladder infections when on Warfarin? This is a problem I have never ever experienced previously but for the last few days I seem to have had all the classic symptoms and am wondering if it could be Warfarin-related? I have been taking Warfarin for approx 7 months after a P/E and will be on it for life. My INR is very unstable, (currently 3.4....should be 2.5). A week ago I finished a one week course of antibiotics to try to clear up a chesty cough, (didn't).
View 2 RepliesI am not very old, I'm in my early 20s. I have had multiple bladder infections in the past year and they keep coming. I very much want to have kids at some point; its a big deal to me. Is it a possibility to become infertile due to numerous bladder infections?
Also on a side note, other than the general things like wiping and peeing after sex (Etc) is there any other things that could cause so many?

View 85 RepliesThis is embarrassing. I let my boyfriend perform oral sex on me. I'm not sure I like it - it feels good, but I can't get past how gross it must be for him (he says it's not). But I'm suddenly worried. I feel I have the symptoms of a yeast infection. I'm worried that I might have passed on an oral yeast infection to him (thrush).
I've looked online and I see conflicting information. Many places say it's not possible to pass on thrush through oral sex. Other sites say it is possible.
Hello I am 19 years old I have been suffering with bladder and kidney infections since I was 14. I was admitted to hospital to find out what was wrong with me nothing could be found, I think I have tried every antibiotic under sun...nothing seems to help, I suffer with them every few mounts or so on and off.
When I fall ill with one I'm very ill it puts in bed for days with terrible pain and fever, I'm young and starting university very soon...I don't know anyone who suffers as bad as me and I struggle to get to the doctors a lot with being a full time student, it's so unbearable and frustrating can anyone help?.

View 1 RepliesHey already mommas , i'm a ftm and I was curious of how long after you give birth do you start getting your periods again ?
And also is it really heavy and worse cramps ? Or does it go back to normal ?
Now I'm 3 years without a single relapse and I have no intention of smoking again, no desire or urge. Admittedly I feel much better compared with how I did when I smoked, no wheezing or coughing, my head is much clearer.
But still I feel paranoid. It's like it builds up, slowly, accumulated, and then suddenly I realize I'm just scared of everything around me, like everybody is focused on me, and everybody is talking about me. It's horrible.
If anyone has had similar experiences it would be great to hear about them.
