9 WEIRD VAGINA ISSUES — SOLVED

Let's face it—there's a lot that can go wrong below the belt. From itches and  odors to bumps and bleeding, sometimes it seems like you need a manual

.So we consulted the experts for nine common vagina problems and how to deal—fast! You Noticed a Weird Bump: Who wouldn't freak out after seeing a lump or mark on their privates? This could be so many things, but it's likely not serious, says ob-gyn Alyssa Dweck, M.D., coauthor of V is for Vagina. It could be anything from an ingrown hair to a sebaceous cyst (a lesion under the skin). Warm soaks are a good first line of defense, but you can also apply a little over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream if it seems inflamed, if pain persist, check with your doctor as it may be a sign of an infection.


There's a Funky Smell

If there's an odor coming from your bikini line, trust us, you'll know something is up. The problem is, this smell could have a ton of possible causes, but you'll want to see your doctor no matter what. If it's a foul-smelling discharge, it could be a bacterial infection like bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis, . In that case, you may need antibiotics to treat it. Another common culprit when it comes to odor is a forgotten tampon or a stuck condom. Yes, it's more common than you think, and your nose will definitely notice it. Don't worry, your doctor can help fish it out.

You're Bleeding, and It's Not Your Period

If you're randomly spotting, it could just be a hormonal imbalance from a missed birth control pill, though persistent spotting is something to bring up with your doctor as it may be a sign of infection, pregnancy, or a polyp on your cervix. If the bleeding happens after sex or comes

with a discharge, it could be an STD so you'll want your to run a test for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Of course, if it was just one time after particularly rough sex, it's probably nothing to worry about,

 You're Itchy

Feel like there are ants in your pants? A recurrent itch, particularly with discharge, could be a sign of a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. But if you've tried treating all that and still can't get rid of the itch, it could be a simple skin reaction to something like your soap, a feminine wash, or even your detergent. Minkin notes that she often gets an influx of itch-related visits around Christmas when everyone tries out the new bath salts and designer soaps that they got in their stockings. 

You've Got a Weird Discharge

As you can probably guess by now, an unusual discharge can accompany tons of different issues. But don't panic if this is a monthly thing; "Most women have a physiological baseline discharge that's supposed to be there,. But if you notice a change in color, consistency, or

odor, bring it up with your doctor.

It Hurts to Pee or Have Sex

Vaginal or vulva pain could be a sign of infection or STD, says Dweck, so you'll want to check with your doctor if the feeling persists for more than day or two. If the pain just happened once or twice after sex, it may have been from dryness—grab some tube( vagina moisturizers or oils) and see if it makes a difference or it could be due to the size of the pen*s that is if it occurs during active phase.

HIV/AIDS: Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV Aids (PMTCT)

HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV affects specific cells of the immune system (called CD4 cells). Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infection anymore. 

The human body cannot get rid of HIV—that means once a person has HIV, he or she has it for life. There is no cure at this time, but with proper medical care, the virus can be controlled. HIV is the virus that can lead to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection, when a person’s immune system is severely damaged.

16yr old robs, rapes 52yr old woman, says her naked body turned him on

16 year old SS1 student, Abdulateef Asamu (pictured above) has been arrested by the Ogun state Police command for robbing and raping his neighbor, a 52 year old woman at Lambe area of Ajuwon, Ogun state on January 18th.

According to Tribune, the police said that Abdulateef, the first son of his parents, broke into the woman's home late at night, threatened her with a weapon and demanded she bring out all the money she had at home. He took about N16,500 from her and then asked her to lie down so he could have sex with her. He lied to the woman that he had his gang outside her home who would come in if she didn't obey him. Out of fear, the woman who was alone at home that night, agreed and he proceeded to rape her...


Unknown to him, the woman had recognized him as her neighbors teenage son. The next morning, she called her husband to tell him what had happened, and the husband immediately reported the case at the Ajuwon police station. Abdulateef was immediately arrested.

When interrogated, he blamed evil spirits for his actions

 "I am in SSS 1 at a high school in Ogun State. I live at Lambe area, Ajuwon with my parents. I am the first born and I have three younger ones. On January 18, 2015, at about 1a.m., I went to my neighbour’s house to rob and rape. I never knew she recognised me. I have never carried out robbery before that day. I don’t know made me do it but I believe I was propelled by an evil spirit. I entered through the main door which was usually not locked. The residence was uncompleted. I met the woman sleeping. She was naked as she slept and the sight aroused me. I woke her up and asked her to bring all the money she had. I was holding a rod and I told her that my other gang members were outside, threatening her to cooperate or she would be dealt with. She handed over N16,500 to me, after which I ordered to lie on the bed. I climbed her and had sex with her. After about five minutes, I stood up and left for my house. On the third day, the woman’s husband called me and warned me not to pass through his compound again as he wanted to sprinkle charms around his compound. I later saw policemen who were brought to arrest me. I confessed to my parents. I used N5,000 to buy a phone but it was not good so I returned it. I used the remaining to eat and entertain friends.” he said.

While confirming the case, the state police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said as soon as the judicial workers in the state call off their strike, Abdulateef would be charged to court.Lord Have Mercy
