A member asked:

I put numbing lotion in my vagina because it hurt but now it burns. what should i do? how do i get it out? please help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What numbing lotion?: Don't ever put any drug in the vagina unless it is specifically intended for vaginal use. The vagina absorbs drugs very rapidly and you should call your doctor as soon as possible to find out what you should do next.
