Question 1

can i use aloe vera for the smell and itch in my vagina ?

Accepted Answer

Get this evaluated: Medically. You may have an infection. Aloe vera would not cure a vaginal infection.

Question 2

can you use aloe vera to tighten your vagina lips?

Accepted Answer

Yadda Yadda Yadda: There is seldom an easy way to do anything. All these creams and lotions and gels and whatever with whatever promises they make, all "clinically proven" Oh yeah? What clinic? What study? PEER reviewed? Statistically and clinically significant...yadda yadda? Aloe vera to tighten vaginal lips? Sure why not. Try it, it's cheap. If it works, then who cares what I think? Here's one for you: V-Tight Gel

Question 3

can i use aveeno (oatmeal) products as after shave for my vagina? 
i've used aloe vera cream and no good
it's for itching and bumps

Accepted Answer

Totally safe: Unscented oatmeal extract-containing products such as Aveeno are safe for the vulvar area after shaving. You may also consider trying a better razor in order to avoid having to chafe the skin as much when you shave. Waxing or electrolysis are also safe options to avoid the skin damage caused by repetitive shaving.

Question 4

i used to eat a lot of aloe vera but i recently stopped because my vagina smells like aloe vera. is this good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Could be bad: Depending on how much aloe you are/were eating, it could be bad. There are some reports of relationship between kidney problems and cancer and aloe ingestion.  I would avoid it, if you can.

Question 5

can i put clear gel aloe vera gel on the lips of my vagina to relieve itchiness?

Accepted Answer

Aloe Vera: Is recommended for burn healing.  I have not heard of it being used this way.

Question 6

is it safe to leave a piece of aloe vera in vagina? i have a small piece stuck in my vagina and i cant get it out. can i leave it in without worrying? do i have to go to the hospital right away? i tried taking it out, i literally just cant.

Accepted Answer

See below: As long as there are no thorns with the piece of aloe vera, you may watch and wait, as it is likely to come out on its own. In case you develop a foul discharge, pain, fever or local itching, see a doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 7

my wife 52 has a dry vagina and she refuses to see her gp regarding this. i have purchased lubricants etc. but she refuses to use them. i am 57?

Accepted Answer

It is up to her: Although vaginal dryness is a common problem after menopause, it is not clear that this is the actual issue.  If the problem bothers her enough it is up to her to seek help.

Question 8

i was using nair and some of it got on my inner labia and now its a little swollen. do i use hydrocortisone/creams/ aloe vera gel etc. if its close to vaginal opening? if so what? and are there foods that reduce swelling when eaten?

Accepted Answer

Should resolve: Most likely it will resolve on its own without any treatment. Food is not going to help it. If the area looks infected or like there is a chemical burn have an Obgyn examine the area.

Question 9

i was going to have intercourse and we use vasline brand aloe for lubricant and burning,swelling inside occurred shortly after applying to the vagina?

Accepted Answer

Sensitivity: Burning and swelling after applying anything vaginally is a sign of sensitivity to one of the chemicals in the product. Don't use this again. You might try a hypoallergenic product like paraben free Astroglide if you need a lubricant or salvia can be a good lubricant . Hope this helps.

Question 10

what causes dry vagina and how can you get it to stay wet?

Accepted Answer

Big topic: In older people, or those without ovaries, it can b from lack of esrogon.  If its a sexual issue it could be due to lack of arousal, some drugs such as antidepressants can cause this.  An oil based lubricant ( astroglide) can help during intercourse but there may be a better answer out there; some Progesterone only contraceptives may contribute( implanon, depo-provera.  Good luck.
