If you are masturbataing by inserting stuff in your vagina, quit doing that. Try clitoral stimulation only. If that also cause the same symptoms, see your doctor. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines.
