Masturbating with faucet causing problems?
Hi,
This is so terribly embarrassing, but im really quite worried. The other night i was using..um...the faucet in my shower...i was just laying under it and letting the water run over me (in me). After that my vagina was feeling really sore and burning and all that. I get BV all the time, so about a month ago i stopped using the faucet, thinking maybe the running water was messing my Ph balance up. Well, I just finished my period and I started noticing Bv symptoms again, so i decided that if i have bv might as well have fun before i treat it. Well, i read something online that freaked me out, i read that if the running water from a faucet is too forceful the tap water can reach your ovaries and cause a bacterial infection there. Now, im going to my GYN wednesday to get her to confirm BV, but should i ask her about the tap water on ovaries thing? I thought about just kind of trying to say i used a douche of tap water and it was a bit too forceful. Regardless, I'm having a little bit of cramps, but it could just be cause i freaking out and worrying about it. Please help somoene.

As a rule of thumb, you should tell everything regarding your case history. Reading and knowing through internet is one thing and talking to doctor is a sure method to clarify your all doubts and get proper treatment.Even if you tell him/her, something sober he will know you are bluffing. So why not be frank ?
Hi, well I'm just reading around about this using the faucet technique because I have done it when I was younger. I haven't done in a while but I just want to know if you did tell the doctor what did he or she say about this technique? I'm just very nervous about it because it's not really a common method. I know this is probably so strange especially you posting in 2009 and I'm asking 2015. I'm just very curious.
