Can Your Period Stop After Pain During Sex?
This question is difficult for TeenHealthFX to answer because we are not clear about what exactly happened to you that you felt “hit” inside your vagina. FX recommends that you schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, gynecologist or an adolescent medicine specialist as soon as possible so you can discuss what happened to you that you felt “hit,” as well as discuss any concerns you may have about your menstrual cycle.
FX would also advise that when you meet with your doctor, you speak to him or her about safer sex practices. Doctors generally recommend that teens and young adults who choose to be sexually active use condoms each and every time they have sex to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs, as well as a back-up method of birth control such as the pill or birth control shot. Your doctor can make the best recommendations for you and discuss with you how to use properly use birth control to maximize its effectiveness.
If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
FX also suggests that you check out the links in our Resource of the Month: Planned Parenthood Resources on Safer Sex so that you can learn about sexual readiness, how pregnancy happens, pregnancy tests, emergency contraception, birth control, STDs and more. The more educated you are about these topics, the more likely you will make healthy decisions for yourself when it comes to your sexual health.
