I recently lost my virginity about 5 days ago. I understand that i am supoosed to be sore or what not but how lng does that last? Also i have sharp pains in my vagina, if i go to urinate and apply pressure it will begin to be sore.... I dont have any discharge or outstanding odor just in pain what do i do? Do i need to see a doctor??
Losing your virginity should only leave you sore for a day, two at the very most. A little blood may result but sharp pains are never normal in any situation.
Sometimes you can contract an STD or STI without having "discharge or outstanding odor." Pain is a symptoms of many, many things, including HPV and cancer.
Call your doctor for a gynecological exam because you are experiencing sharp pains in your vaginal area. Let them know that you had sex five days ago and that is when the pain first started.
It may be nothing but a urinary tract infection (you will need prescription medication), but you need to see a doctor nonetheless. Things like this is nothing to be slack about. It can worsen quickly and unexpectedly or the symptoms could subside and you be left with a hidden STD (it happens; it's also how a lot of people spread STDs).
Please call your doctor TODAY and make an appointment for next week. Do not give this more time! Even if it's just a UTI, it can become very severe and damaging to your body. PLEASE see a doctor very soon! Do not wait!

a couple of days. Sharp pains or any real
pain, however is not normal. Especially
since it has been 5 days.

If you massage or put pressure on the sore leg or arm, it doesn't feel so great. This is the same thing and should feel much like that type of "pain". However, if what you are feeling is a sharp, stabbing type of pain like you are being cut with a knife or something, you should see a doctor as this could be something you need medical attention for.
You happened to mention noticing it when you urinate... If it actually hurts when you urinate, you could have coincidentally gotten a urinary tract infection as well which would require an antibiotic... but it really just sounds like you have a sore muscle. Give it a little more time and if after a week to 10 days you arent feeling better, better ere on the side of caution and have it checked out by your doctor.
