My boyfriend got an apyvadra several months ago. Twice since then, when having vigorous sex, my vagina has started bleeding. Is this because of the jewelry, and is this a normal problem? Are there certain positions we should avoid? He has already had his barbell downsized from what it was pierced at, so it fits snugly.
This sort of thing is definitely not unheard of with some genital piercings. I have had a few partners who have experienced the same thing from my apadravya. There isn’t an instant fix, as it will depend upon exactly what is causing the bleeding. A few things that your your boyfriend could try:
1) Putting smaller balls on the barbell; they may be less likely to rub…although
2) Putting larger balls on the barbell; it may not be so much the rubbing, but that smaller balls have a smaller surface area, so any rubbing puts more pressure/irritation on the area where the balls rub
3) Try shortening the bar even more; because of the squishy nature of the tissue, apadravyas can often be shortened much more than people think
The other obvious, albeit not as enjoyable, option would be to avoid vigorous sex. So, I’d try one of those other options first.

What about using a condom? That should reduce friction and protect the delicate skin from being irritated by the jewelry.
Em on November 5th, 2007 at 7:35 pmYes, that is certainly another option and would likely help. I was definitely operating under the assumption that no condom was being used and it wasn’t an option they were looking to explore.
They may well have been a bad assumption on my part.

Em on November 6th, 2007 at 8:04 pmAre you on the pill? Being on the pill can significantly thin the lining of your vagina - normally the levels of mucous and thickness of cells cycle in proportion with those in your uterus, just not as much. Being on the pill makes less mucous (therefore more rubbing) and thins the squishy layer of skin cells, meaning that it can bleed much easier. It could also be your cervix - this is even more susceptible to your cycle than the rest of you. Maybe talk to your doctor about taking a lower level of progesterone? That might help lessen the trauma.
Hope this helps
