Question:
Hi, me and my husband have been having sex a lot lately and ever since the last time we had sex I have been irritated and sore down there. Could this be from having sex too much? I think it might be a yeast infection. I have a little bit of discharge and it is chunky. It was a little painful when I urinated today after sex.

Hi,

It very well could be a yeast infection, but I'm not a medical expert, and even if I was, I wouldn't feel comfortable diagnosing over the Internet. :) I suggest you see your OBGYN or family doctor.

It is possible to feel some irritation after excessive bouts of sex, by the way. If you haven't already, you might want to think about investing in a good lubricant such as Liquid Silk or Astroglide.

Good luck!

Blaise
