I had sex for the first time and am exp. discomfort

Posted by heben @heben, Nov 30, 2023

I just had sex for the first time, and some different things have been going on. First off, I have PCOS and haven't gotten my period for over a year, and I just got it today. Before I got my period, I took a pregnancy test just to be safe and I had a lot symptoms (sore breasts, fatigue, cramping, frequent urination, acne, etc) and it came back negative so I just figured I was getting my period because of increased estrogen levels or something. Just now I noticed that my cervix looks a lot wider than normal, and there looks like skin or something is poking out. There is also a lot of discomfort and itchiness around my cervix. Do I need to see a doctor or am I overreacted?

Don't know what PCOS is, how you can see your cervix or how old you are?

It is hard to tell what is normal, the itchiness may be from irritation, your stretching the vagina. This is especially true if not enough vaginal lubrication , naturally or using lubrication. If used a lubrication or he wore a condom, there is always possibility you were allergic.

You may want to schedule a appt with your provider to talk about changes now that you are sexual active (at least once). Discuss protection from STDs and pregnancy. Have a pelvic exam to check on items you mentioned.
