Question:
My primary question is, what are the side effects (in a woman) if a man urinates inside of her during intercourse? This happened to me and shortly after I got what appears to be a yeast infection. I let all of this go untreated and ignored...now I have bumps(probably warts) in the area around the vagina and a swollen lump on one side of my groin. I wonder if these are all seperate, unrelated symptoms, or if it all stems from my boyfriend urinated inside of me a year ago?? Also, I went to my

I find myself wondering if your boyfriend did not urinate inside of you, rather ejaculate semen during intercourse. When a man has an erection, he is unable to urinate, as the penis automatically blocks the urethra and the passage of urine. You may or may not have a yeast infection due to sexual intercourse. A yeast infection can be due to a number of different reasons, i.e., douching, tight pants, stress, etc... Its symptoms are a thin, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, that may be white and cottage cheese-like in appareance, or foamy and yellowish. You may also experience irritation of the vulva. A yeast infection can be treated with over the counter medications or with the oral administration of a drug, given by your physician. It is important that you get this infection treated so that it doesn't lead to other health problems, like pelvic inflammatory infection! Based on the information you have given, it sounds like you may have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) as well. Genital warts are flesh-colored, painless warts on the genital area, that may be raised or falt, single or multiple, and small or large. The swollen lump on the one side of your groin is not typically a first sign of a genital warts infection. It may, however, be due to the genital warts or yeast infection having gone untreated. Or it could be yet another sexually transmitted infection, like herpes or granuloma inguinale. I urge you to get checked out by a physician for a yeast infection and any potential STDs. The longer these conditions go untreated, the more problems they can cause, like sterility. It is also important that your boyfriend get checked out for a yeast infection and STDs as well, and that the two of you use condoms to avoid the transmission of STDs and yeast infections (he can keep reinfecting you if he isn't treated as well.) Please take care of yourself! Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network.
