So, if you’ve just had sex for the first time or are thinking about it, this is for you! It can be a super exciting and emotional experience, and let’s be real, it’s totally normal to feel a bit nervous beforehand. But don’t worry, we’re here to break down some of the changes you might notice in your body after that first time.
Everyone’s experience is different, but there are a few common things that can happen. Here are five changes you might want to keep in mind:
- You Might Feel Some Pain
It’s not uncommon to feel a bit of discomfort during your first time. This could be due to a few reasons, like stretching of the hymen, not enough lubrication, or just being a bit tense. Sometimes, overthinking it can add to the pain, too. Plus, if you experience an orgasm, you might get some cramps in your uterus, which can hurt a bit. - Spotting Could Happen
After your first time, you might notice some bleeding. This can happen if the hymen stretches or tears, but it’s totally normal. Just so you know, the hymen can break from other activities, too, so it’s not just about sex. - Burning Sensation When You Pee
If you feel a burning sensation while urinating after having sex, that’s pretty normal. Since the vagina and urethra are close together, pressure on the vagina can cause some discomfort. But if it lasts more than a few days, it’s a good idea to check in with a doctor. - Vaginal Itching
Feeling a bit itchy down there? That can happen, and it’s usually nothing to worry about. But if it gets really uncomfortable, it might be due to an allergy to condoms or lubricants, so keep that in mind. - Nipples and Clitoris Might Change Size
When you’re feeling aroused, your nipples can get bigger and your breasts might swell a bit, making them look fuller. This is totally normal, and they’ll go back to their usual size after things cool down.
Remember, everyone’s body is different, so not everyone will experience these changes. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, don’t hesitate to reach out to a doctor.
