has anyone ever had any problems with a hood piercing and how long did you wait to have sex afterwards ?

A hood piercing is different then a clitoris piercing. A hood piercing is the skin in front of the clitoris. It is more safe to pierce than your clitoris. NEVER pierce your clitoris, it will scar you can lose sensation. Plus no respectable body piercer would ever do a clitoral piercing.\n\nI have a hood piercing. It was okay to have sex about a week after the piercing. You may have sex before but make sure you are in a position that does not touch your piercing. Make sure it stays clean and doesn't catch on your clothing. And make sure you do a lot of researching before you decide to do it. \n\nOh, and if you are going for constant sensation down there you won't get it so make sure you really want the piercing.\n\nI don't regret it at all, I love it.

I've been on the ring for about 3 years.  I love it.  I actually chose not to get my period at all so I cange it the 1st of every month.  My OB said it was fine to go without getting my period at all or I can go every three months...at the end of my third month I would take it out for a week then put a new one in on the 1st as usual.  But I had stopped using it back in April since my husband and I had decided to try to have another baby.  I noticed that my sex drive has increased a bit since I am no longer using it...I had realized during the 3 years of using it, that my sex drive had slowly decreased,  I thought it was because I had a baby and I was tired and stressed with work, my daughter and keeping up the house.  But I think now that the birthcontrol had a little to do with it too.  But other then that the Nuva-Ring was GREAT...at first my husband felt it...but after a few times he didnt even notice it.  Good Luck!

Ask them to apply some numb spray before you get pierced. That makes it painless.

Yes it is painful. My boyfriend had to have it for the same reason earlier this year and he was in pain for a week but he only had 7 days off work though. There will be a bit of seepage and the stitches take their time coming out but its ok after 1 or 2 baths per day. Sex is definitely better because it doesnt hurt him anymore and there was no smell either before the op nor after. Recovery period will be 2 weeks tops and you can have sex 4-6 weeks after the op. Hope this helps but have it done you wont regret it. Any further queries just email me. Thanks

It takes anout 6 weeks for it to FULLY heal.  Get it on the side you sleep the least on.  If you have long hair ALWAYS keep it in a ponytail, because it hurts like hell if it get tangled.  They used to only pierce it with a stud, back when I did it ten years ago.  To be honest though, for all the trouble its not really worth it.  I wore it for like 6 years and then it got played.  It is going to get hurt and probably infected, so go ahead and get some antibiotics if you can....good luck.

It is the least painful piercing you can get, for what that is worth. It will swell moderately for a few days and be sore. Eating may be painful until the swelling and sensitivity go down. You may need to re-learn how to eat certain foods. You also have to be very careful of infection for the first few weeks, when you eat, food can become lodged in the hole and if it stays can get pretty nasty. Also, don't buy metal barbells until you are very accustomed to your piercing. For some time you will have a tendency to accidentally bite on the bar and if you have metal ends and not plastic you can chip your teeth. Also, body jewelry is expensive so expect to spend some money if you swallow your jewelry (which can happen often if you do not occasionally check that the ball is snugly screwed on). Your sensitivity to hot and cold may increase temporarily. As for sex, be careful...that's all I'll say about that.\n\nMost importantly: ONLY BE PIERCED BY A PROFESSIONAL. There is a large vein which runs through the center of the tounge and if this is hit you will bleed for a freakishly long time.

I'm female so I don't have one, but I can tell you that I slept with a guy who had a Pricne Albert and the sex was inhanced but I could not give him head as teh jewelry kept choking me.

My sister had hers pierced and she had lots of problems. She got an infection and once it had gone the piercing actually "migrated" a term where the piercing starts to push out. \n\nHer skin became to thin to hold the ring and she had to take the belly ring out. Now there is a not so pretty scar.\n\nJust know the risk first (google it) and also where you get it done is important.  \n\nNot every story is successful

Let's think about this...I have a navel ring. Once I used the wrong kind of lotion on my skin and it got infected (for three weeks). Luckily it healed and had no ill effects remaining. However, while it was infected it was red, pusy and oozing yellowish mucus as well as smelling rancid. Would you ever chance looking down and seeing your nipps having any or all of the same attributes? Seriously, think about it!

I know i am not a guy, but can i would like to share an experience.\n\nMy boyfriend now, was my first, and i was worried about the same things. He could tell, as soon as he stuck a finger in me.  He actually loved the fact i was, and was patient with me. He loves the thought that i'm experiencing everything the first time with him, and he can show me how to please him.  Its has been 8 months now, and we have an awesome sex life.  email me if you have more questions about this....i have been there.\n\nallyalexmch@yahoo.com

I haven't had the procedure myself, but a good friend had a hymenectomy at age 16 and said it was a breeze.  In my opinion, it would be much better than having the area rip or tear from sex or a tampon, and it is over in such a short time...not a lifetime of discomfort.  My friend has said she was a little sore right after the outpatient surgery, but mostly just itchy and irritated from the few stitches.  Post-op for her consisted of ice packs for the first day, pain pills as needed (not often), a precautionary round of antibiotics, and some soothing cream for the area as it healed.  It must have worked well, because now 9 years later she's happily married and has a beautiful baby.

Ok I got an industrial piercing on 9/30. It took 3 weeks for the pain from getting bumped to go down. As long as there is no puss you should not have an infection. As of now if it gets bumped it hardly hurts at all compared to how bad it used to. What I would try is the sea salt soaks mentioned before. You have to take a cup of warm water (make it as warm as you can without it burning you) and 1 teaspoon of sea salt (which you can find in the spices section of a store) and tip your head to the side and let the water soak your piercing for 5-15 min. If you do get an infection do it for at least 10 minutes at a time. Do these soaks 2-3 times a day. What it does is give the bacteria a nice warm salty place to go. To get the full affect you need to soak it for at least 10 min. Then make sure you rince your ear off afterwards and dry it with a paper towel or cotton ball (not a towel or anything that could have bacteria on it itself). I know the first 2 weeks are the hardest but do the soaks and it should get better. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions!

Yes, it is safe to remove the Nuva ring during intercourse -- you can have it out for up to three hours.  Any longer than three hours, however, and your protection against pregnancy begins to lessen.  At that point, you would need to reinsert the ring and use back-up protection for seven days.  So, taking it out for 30 minutes for sex is absolutely fine and you will be as protected against pregnancy during that 30 minutes as you would be had you left it in.  Just don't forget to reinsert it right afterwards!

I think that what you are experiencing is normal since you just had the procedure done a couple days ago.  Keep your hands clean when touching your ear-lopes and use an alcohol swap to clean the area each day, and your ears should feel fine in a few more days.  Don't wear the same earrings all the time without removing them ever so often just to let the hole heal around it, not over it.  Too, wear good quality sterling silver or 12 k gold or better posts to prevent infection.  And, lastly don't share pierced earrings with friends

It's normal. I have the same problem. Plus the cartilage isn't a normal place to get pierced-I just clean mine with alcohol, and the earrings with alcohol.
