Vibrations From A Vibrator
Hi
Lisa,
I
noticed that after I used a vibrator, which I had not used for
a long time, I had a kind of continued vibration for a couple
days after having used it. It was weird. I could feel the muscle
still twitching under the skin and wondered what that could
be. It stopped on the 2nd day, but now I am afraid to use my
vibrator again.

Hi Jenni,
This is called
fasciculation (or "muscle twitch") and is a small, local, involuntary
muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin.
It often
happens after tensing the muscles. While it is not as common vaginally,
it can happen and is most likely nothing to be worried about.
It is very similar to getting a muscle twitch in your eye when
you read a great deal and have strained the muscles.
The twitching
usually subsides in a few days. Finding ways to relax the muscle
such as a warm bath and holding off on sexual activity for a bit
is a good way to treat it.
Think of it
like this, you would not be worried to read or work on your computer
again if your eye would have a twitching episode. Most likely,
this is the same type of situation. If it continues to do it,
you may want to see your OBGyn just to get it checked out by having
a physical examination done.
