Is it because we had too much sex?
Hello Advicenators, First of all I would like to note that this is not my account. My friend is letting me use hers because she thought this website would help me figure this out.
I`m an 18 years old female. Three nights ago, my boyfriend came to sleep over my house. He came late at night and we had sex..lots of it and by that I mean it lasted a long time. In the morning, we had more sex..lots of it and at night again...also lots of it and then he left and went to his house. The following morning, my vagina had an irritation but I did`nt worry too much because it has happened before (where my vagina had an irritation after sex). This morning, I had a big, thick, white discharge on my vagina and I started to freak out. My vagina still has an irritation and the discharge keeps coming. Is this because we had too much or is there something wrong with me?

It's either normal discharge after sex or an allergic reaction.
After sex, there will always be something leaking back out. Not all cum plus your fluids flow back out until you're up for the day, then gravity works and a little can trickle out. Your vagina has its own cleaning system that will kick into gear, the same pasty, crusty stuff you see on panties in between periods.
The other may be allergic reaction to condoms. If you are using condom's, I am guessing it could be an allergy to latex. There are apparantly 4 types: latex, lambskin, polyurethane, and also a new material called polyisoprene. Latex condoms are some of the most widely available mostly likely because they are the least expensive. The others cost much more. I have had the itching myself after a night of lots of condom use too. I think a good percentage of women experience that if it is a period of lots of sex vs just a one time time, over with quick. You can make an appt with your doctor and let them check to make sure it's not something else, but since the reaction was so immediate, I am guessing it's more likely allergy. Perhaps you can be checked by doctor for allergic reaction. If so, then you may have to try another more expensive type of condom. If it's not easily found on the market and must be ordered or can be got at a pharmacy, check if there's a prescription for it to lessen the cost. I wouldn't think so but it doesnt hurt to ask.
If the reason you are choosing this method for birth control to avoid hormonal ones, there are others, mainly use of a diaphragm with spermicide and the copper IUD. There is now an IUD with hormones so if you go that way, be sure its copper, not the Mirena or any other hormonal one. I have used both mentioned and got pregnant using diaphragm, but never with IUD. It is at top of list of effectiveness in protection.
Good Luck.

If you’re concerned about an STD they generally do not manifest themselves the next day. Discharges from your vagina can be normal and I think you would know a normal discharge from one that is not normal. This, "big, thick, white discharge," does not sound normal." If it happens again you should definitely see your GYN.
As to the irritation you are getting. This is very possibly from too much sexual activity. Your vagina may not be producing enough lubrication after the first or second intercourse. You might want to try a good lubricant like K-Y Jelly to keep you well lubricated during sex and to prevent irritation.
One other thing which you did not write about; did this discharge have any type of abnormal odor or scent to it. If it did this is a sign of some type of infection and you should see your doctor ASAP.

This can sometimes be normal among some women after sexual activity. Discharge is normal after sex,even the morning after.
However,if it does persist,make an appointment with a Gynecologist.You dont want any problems with your ovaries,or get an infection.
Drink plenty of water,lukewarm would be best.That way your body can get a good cleansing.
Be blessed
