Need help after tear

Hi everyone. I'm embarrassed to ask but I need some advice. A week or so ago I had (protected) sex with a guy for the first time in awhile, and he was bigger than I've ever dealt with. I got a tear that bleed quite a bit, and it hurt really badly for a few days afterward. I did my best to keep it clean and didn't wipe, just used water to try and let it heal properly.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is something I need to be concerned about or not, but since then I've noticed a... smell *embarrassment!* Its not that terrible or overpowering but before I have never had an issue where I could smell myself on my pants or underwear after I wear them. Now I notice it. I don't have any other symptoms that I know of - the tear healed and it doesn't hurt. Is this something I need to worry about? Is it possible I have an infection? :(

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

You might want ito get it checked out to make sure there isn't an infection. Probably nothing to worry about (like just a change in pH or bacteria causing scent)  but better safe than sorry. Goodluck!

Its healed now as far as I can tell, I know what caused. I'm just not sure if you can get an infection from it or not.

You can get it checked out but most likely your received the tear from him because of his size
