"over masturbating?" please don't laugh, i'm seriously freaked out

[piprose]

ok, first of all, please don't laugh, i'm honestly scared out of my mind right now, and rightously embarassed.

i was masturbating in the shower (i'm a virgin btw, dunno if that makes a difference) age 18, and i was using a bottle of face cleanser to.... pleasure myself. that's nothing new, i've always done that, but i was using a bottle slightly bigger than what i'm used to.

i finished up and got out of the shower. i was sitting on the toilet, and i noticed that i felt excessivley wet along my labia major, which was strange as i had just towled off. so i felt myself down there, and yes, i was excessevely wet, but it was just normal vaginal secretioon, nothing scary.

i went to touch right at the opening of my vagina, and i realized that it felt like something was still stuck inside me, blocking the entrance to my uterus. after feeling around, i realized that i couldn't put even a single finger into my vagina, whatever it was was so swollen. it was also bumpy.

i got a mirror and was looking down there, and it literally looked like something had stuck an extremely plump raspberry in the entrance to my vagina.

it then clicked that what was sort of pushing it's way out of my vagina was something that was normally INSIDE my vagina. the best way i can describe it is if you were to put your fingers inside you, palm up, and sort of cup your fingers - that is the area of mass/tissue i am feeling, the one that is now sitting at the ENTRACE to my vagina, instead of ON TOP of it.

it's now been roughly 10 or 15 minutes since i realized what was going on, and the swlling HAS gone down a bit. the colour has gone down, and i can tell that whatever this mass/tissue is has receeded slightly back where it belongs. like i said, i can see more of my anatomy than i could before.


is this something i should let just happen naturally, and not tell anyone, or should i call my doctor in the morning? i really hate to be asked what the problem is, and have to say "vigerous masturbation maybe broke my vagina"....

Does it feel like the tip of your nose, only wet?  If so, this is your cervix and it is nothing to worry about.  
If not, then I would wait a little longer and see if the swelling goes down by itself.  The vagina, heals up a lot quicker than most other parts of our bodies.  It is probably not a good idea to use that item again, if you are able to post this, maybe you should look online for a vibrator, a lot safer, and more hygienic.  Hope this helps.  Goodluck

Is it possible that whatever was in your bottle 'toy' could have leaked out into your vagina causing a reaction..Or perhaps whatever you used to wash youself could have gotten up there and was further aggrevated by the vigarous 'play'?? Either way, let this be a lesson, face wash is for your face and vibrators are for play 'down there'..they have a whole industry that makes safe, legitamate sex toys..that is what they are for..I think it would be a lot less embarssing buying a sex toy than having to go to your OBGYN and explain why your vagina is irritated and possibly infected..("well doc, i had a little too much fun in the shower with beauty products...'') Ouch, either way, find a new toy..good luck to you.

[piprose]

ahh you guys are great :)

no, it doesn't feel like the tip of my nose - it's bumpy, an uneven surface. it's very weird :/

the swelling has gone down since last night, and the "mass" has receeded more, i'm also not experiancing as much dryness as i was last night. however, it's still extremely tight, and if i look at it with a mirror, it's obvious that things are a bit cramped.

and: lesson learned. when your doctor tells you you have a small vagina, don't try otherwise; and god gave us vibrators for a reason.

"and god gave us vibrators for a reason"

LOL!!! now THAT is funny.............

I can't picture god giving us vibrators....but i get your point..;)
take care of your 'downstairs' girl.......it's fun to use it, but kinda delicate too.....

What we need here is monkeyflower. I've heard of a rasberry looking thing before, but can't remember what she said it might be. Hopefully, she'll see this post.

[pixijal]

Yes, this is monkeyflower's area of expertise.....call her over from the women's forum!  

[pixijal]

duh, this is the womens forum...sorry, pregnancy has eaten up my brain.

IT'S STILL THERE!!!

i just got home from work, and the damn thing is still there. it's *smaller*, and definately less swollen, but it's still *lower* than i think it's supposed to be.

and i think really that a raspberry looking thing is the best way i can describe it. it's about the SIZE of the tip of my nose, but like i said, it's textured, so... raspberry is pretty accurate.

it's mostly receeded, and i can tell it's sort of... making it's way back up my vaginal canal.... tunnel... thing... i still dunno, it's still weird.

and yes. vibrators are god's gift to women. now i just have to figure out how i can buy one and have it shippd to my house without my parents asking what it is... oy vey.

[pertykitty]

youre a very funny gal!! you can buy one from the adult store you know, i think 18 is all you have to be. or have it sent to a friends house. anyway i think what you are seeing is probably normal (im sure we all look different there) and maybe you just were a little too aggressive. anyway, i applaud you on your virginity. dont settle for any tom, dick, or harry lol

[peekawho]

Though I don't think it is anything too serious, it would probably be a good idea have a gyn look at it. You probably just traumatized some tissue that swelled afterwards.  But I suppose it could be your cervix, although that usually is smooth with a dimple in the middle.

But personally, I'd get it checked out.  18 is the age young women usually start seeing a gyn anyway, just in case your parents wonder.  

[piprose]

well i just _saw_ my gyn not even 2 weeks ago. "hey mom, can i go back again!? too much fun!!" you should read the short story i wrote on my first time. oy vey.

and no settling on my first! part of the reason i'm waiting so long is because i have high standards for my area. small southern town = slim pickins for what i like.

i look at it this way: if it's not gone down or differed in anyway after the weekend... i'll get a girlfriend to drive me to my gyno... and then the toy store for grown ups :D

[piprose]

ah! after browsing around this site a bit, i learned that i what i believe has "dropped" or "moved" is my cervix. i'm not sure how to properly describe what it is, but it's most _defiantly_ my cervix.

now i feel all proud for knowing more about my anatomy :D

[Trialanderror]

I am pretty sure it is not the cervix. If it were to drop down that far that you could see its texture, you would be in serious trouble all the time with loose uterus ligaments. Somehow that does not sound right. Have you ever accidentially bitten the inside of your cheek or burnt your mouth? The texture of the mucous membranes changes to something large and bumpy in the mouth. The same can happen with the delicate tissue of the vagina. It only takes a ridge in something like your face cleanser bottle - and you can cause some pretty bad abrasion that will take a couple of days to heal. Talking from experience - please don`t laugh either....

[pertykitty]

the cervix sits much higher and i cant imagine it being that either.

[piprose]

well, if by monday i'm still staring at a raspberry, i'll call my gyno.

it's still there, but barely - i think i just have to give it time, and it'll get better. i'm just curious as to what it _is_.

[baldybill]

top didnt come off the bottle did it and it still stuck up there
