Maybe you guys could help me out? - Sexual Health - Women Message Board

Okay..

So I have this problem.. I've been looking up information on the internet, and it seems to me I have something wrong with my hymen...

I've had sex only a few times, because the pain is almost unbareable. I do'nt know how exactly to explain it.. {removed}

That is what it looks like.. It's almost as if I have 2 holes?! I haven't been able to wear a tampon ever, because when I use one, the blood leaks out the other side of the hole.. So apparently I have a thick hymen? I'm going to see a gyno in January, but I was wondering if any of you guys know anything about what i'm talking about?!

Sorry if it doesn't make all that much sense, but it's kind of hard to explain...

Also, sometimes after sex, I get this "fish"-like smell from my vagina for about a day after... anyone know what's up?

Thanks sooo much <3 <3 <3

As for the fish smell after sex that sounds like it could be bacterial vaganosis. It's an infection that can cleared up with some antibiotics. The fish smell is the number one indicator of the infection. And its at one of it's worst during and after sex too.

Hmm... you're experience was removed so I can't say that I really know what you're talking about. But, your hymen shouldn't have anything to do with heavy periods. The hymen is usually broken through intercourse and then it's gone so this is not attributing to heavy bleeding. I've heard of ammenoria (sp?) where some women have extremely heavy periods that last for long periods of time. This can be helped by certain hormonal prescriptions.

The fishy smell should definately be checked out! That is not a normal smell and it can indicate bad hygeine and possible infection.

I can guarantee you that it is definately not bad hygene. It only sometimes happens after sex.

And it's not that I have heavy periods, I cannot use tampons, because it leaks out the other "hole" I guess you could say.. I looked it up on the net and apparently its something called a "Septate Hymen" which needs to be cut =(

Ah.

Thanks for your help guys =)

If the fishy smell is not from bad hygeine definitly go get it checked out anyway. A fish smell after/during sex is not normal. It might definitly be an infection.
