Am I Normal: After Sex
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.

Hi Everytime I shave i get a spotty shaving rash, but it only apears after about a day or so, and i was wondering how to prevent getting it, but so i can still keep shaving,,,please helpp
Hi i've just started puberty. I think i've got genital warts on the tip of my foreskin. I've never had sex though, does this mean i can't get warts. I used to have warts all over my hands but htey eventually went away. If i went to see my GP, is there any way it could be confidential from my mum? Please reply.
if you go to your gp or your local clinic they will not tell your parents and there is no way of them finding out, if you are sill not sure about if they will tell your parents you can always ask them first, ive been to my gp about something and they said that they will be able to keep if from my parents with no problem
hi im 13 and i had sex with my gf and now i have warts on my penis plz help

Am able to have normal sex but begining to get woried whether am fertile or not.This is realy affeting my life andi cant go to my local gp cos everybody will here of it I need a private clinic for consultation and possibly treatment.
Im 20 and i cant get a girlfriend because im worried my penis is too small. Also after i have masturbated my penis starts to get this rash around the bottom (girth), thats when it doesnt start to grow and when my testicle sack becomes tight like a childs. Also, one of my testicles is bigger than the other, with the small one not being smooth, but with loads of nerves underneath it... also my penis is bent when its flaccid ive seen my GP but he says im normal can anyone help me?
hey, i am 15 and i have not had sex yet, but my friend had a problem when she first had sex. Her boyfriend couldn't get his penis inside her, and im really worried this could happen to me because i have tried on lots and lots of occassions to insert a tampon but i can never get it further than about a couple of centimeters, im really worried because i want my first time to be enjoyable not embaressing. And also when you bleed after sex does it happen straight away or quite a while after? Please help! :(
i have not had sex ever but you just need to relax before you insert a tampon all my friends say you should relax when ever you are going to put anything inside u
Yes this is normal, it is just your hymen breaking, this should only happen once after your first time.
Your Hymen breaks on your first 2-3 times. it happened to me and a friend said it was normal. Don't worry about it.
Hi Becca, It might of been that your friend was worried/ scared it might hurt. It's easier if you just relax and 'go with the flow'. When you're trying to put a tampon in, try and relax, because if you tense up you'll find it more difficult.
after sex i some times get a burning/stingin feeling and is sometimes uncomfortable certain ways i sit and can be like this for a few day ive been checked for chlamedia but my results were clear , what could be causein it?
i get that to, i think it depends how much sex you have and how big your boyfriends penis is, because we do it more then once and he's got quite a big penis and mine starts to hurt after.
I am ashamed of myself and regret this so anyone one reading it who maybe influenced do not make the same mistake I did. On saturday I lost my virginity in a hotel room with an older 20 year old lad who isnt even from where I live, It was unprotected! I am now experiencing a stinging sensation when I urinate and I have sore muscles in my stomach I am going for the morning after pill today but I am so worried That this infection could be more than just a water infection. The lad seemed clean and he was really nice but I just have a niggling feeling in the back of my mind.
i think you are just worried and just get it checked out
