Vagina cuts and tears

[Sue0119]

I am 37 years old and I started having cuts and tears at areas surrounding my vigina a few months ago and besides a couple times when I could feel a little pain at the cut area I wouldn't have known about them if my bf had not checked down there and told me I had cuts and tears at areas surrounding my vigina and he said "it looks beaten up".  He said they couldnt be from us having sex because our sex wasn't that rough and his penis is not big enough to have caused them.  He asked me how I got them but I have no clues and now he's suspecting that I cheated on him! I did not cheat on him but I cannot explain to him how I got the cuts or tears.Please help!!

If it helps, I believe the source of the problem is yeast infections. Usually what will happen is you will get a slight tear in the vulva area (the outside area of the vagina) this will usually sting, feel itchy, sore, red, and it may also bleed... This doesn't mean all of these symptoms will occur but it's most likely... Now when you have a yeast infection you may not always know that is what the problem is. Before you go buy over the counter medication for it make sure you go check with the doctor first, sometimes the infection will go away on it's own, but if it is really bothering you, don't wait to do something about it. Just because this is the most typical answer for these symptoms doesn't always mean you have a yeast infection, and ps the medication doesn't always work, if you do get medication I suggest you buy something that has the soothing cream with it as well these medications cost around 20$ the other problems you could be having I'd it is not a yeast infection is: it could be an STD, don't let that scare you, chances are you can get treatment for it and you'll be good as new, and there also is a chance it could be the herpes virus, don't freak our about that either because it also isn't as bad as it seems, just because it can't be cured doesn't mean that it is not treatable.... Bottom line go see your doctor and make sure you tell them everything. I hope this helps :)

i love the simplicity of a man. id be the opposite and take creit if i were him. but that is besides the point... lol well vaginal dryness is def a possibility. rubbing down there to hard is another wether it is rough forplay or just a little itch from earlier. either way i would use a lub even when not having sex. just to keep it moist down there to prevent it from splitting. also i found that when shaven i tend to stay more naturally lubricated. i know tmi but sometimes you have to go there. oh and stay away from thongs and stuff. cotton panties are better. so that is can breath and develope its own moisture. hope this help a little

i have the same problem. my husband and i have been married for over 3 years but this problem just started recently within the last year. i get cuts inside my vagina every time we have sex and i also randomly have some cuts like paper cuts on the outside even when we aren't having sex. i saw my doctor about this and she saw the cuts. she was quite confused and thought it might be an issue of vaginal dryness. she suggested a water based lubricant but it hasn't helped. there are lots of posts about this on here - a lot of women with the same issue, show them to your boyfriend and maybe he will see you're not cheating and this is a common problem.
