I'm 28 years old and I have 2 kids. I also have a IUD for almost 2 years. My husband and I Have sex almost every night. We mite have sex 28 day out of 30 in a moth. I was wondering, Can this be harmfull for my Vagina Health?? or is it ok, Since we don't use condoms and I don't do duches or any of that kind.

And P.S. were not like sex addicts or anything like that we just both enjoy sex and each other, And we do it because we have the time and opportunity. But its not a constant thing in our heads. Just saying!! lol

Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

Having a healthy sex life is key in a having a healthy relationship. I think it's wonderful that you both enjoy each other the way you do.

The only thing that you could be at risk for is getting a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Because the urethra—the tube that goes from outside up into the bladder—is next to the vagina, when you have sex, bacteria from the vagina can get rubbed into the urethra, where it travels up to the bladder. And when you have a lot of sex in a short period of time, it can make you more susceptible to these infections.

Have you had problems with UTI?
If not, then you are good. So go ahead with your happy and healthy sex life :-)

Be well,
~Gillette
