Dr Dawn Harper discusses what is and isn’t normal after sex. You shouldn’t look and feel any different after you’ve had sex, but there are a number of health concerns that teenagers should be aware of. With STIs on the rise throughout the UK, Dr Dawn examines some of the common issues that can arise and finds out what teenagers and the cast of Hollyoaks think about STIs.

Heyy, I'm a bit worried and embarassed because every time after my boyfriend has ejaculated in me during sex, its like it comes straight back out of me about 3 minutes later after. Is this normal? Or is there anything i need to worry about.
hi im 17 years old and i seem to bleed for a few days after sex and its definatly not my period. It's mostly after having sex for a long time and im worried about it what should i do?
Im 21 and I get extremely wet during sex. Afterwards I find that this continues and sometimes it's uncontrollable. On occaisions I think it may even be urine due to the urgency I feel to run to the bathroom as I know sex can sometimes cause that feeling. Could you tell me if it is normal to continue to secrete fluid for a while after having sex?
I am in a long term relationship and have been for just about a year. I know for a fact that my boyfriend did not have sex before me, and I was also a virgin before I met him.
I have been sexually active for just over two months now and have used condoms for the majority of the time. However, I feel that afterwards (if I have not used a condom) that I am worrying too much about catching something… Do I have the same chance of catching an STI from my boyfriend even though he was a virgin before me? and vise versa?
hi im 17 and recently had unprotected sex. i got the morning after pill and the woman sed my periods could be irregular but they came 2 weeks early and then again 2 weeks after. also since then i have bled evrytime during intercourse. i know this isnt normal but wot should i do??
