Vaginal and anal tearing/fissures

[arrowsmom]

For the last 6 months I have been getting tearing (look like paper cuts) in my vaginal area (1/4 to 1/2 inch long). I get the tears at least once or twice a week and they last from 2-4 days, go away for a few days and then come back. They continue to occur in the same locations;
1. Inside the vaginal lips on the sides almost always in the crease (between the labia minora and majora?)
2. Between the anus and vaginal opening (perineum)
3. Above the clitoris in the "hood" area.

This tearing is not related to intercourse since my husband and I are unable to do that due to the pain it causes me.  There is no real pain otherwise. I am getting some minor bleeding when I poop due to the tears in the anal area. The entire vaginal area is very itchy and if I scratch or rub the skin at all I often give myself one of these tears.  It seems as if the skin is very thin. There are no other symptoms that I am aware of.

I have had blood work and a biopsy done. Some of the things that I was tested for were; genital herpes, lichen sclerosus, lichen simplex chronicus, lichen planus, vulvar vestibulitis.  All results came back negative. The biopsy tested positive for "healing ulcers". My doctor does not seem to know what the problem is and is contacting a specialist in Lebanon, NH.

My Dr. prescribed an estrogen cream which did not seem to work. I have not been on any other medication for this. I am looking for some guidance as to what this condition may be and how to treat it. My husband & I want to get pregnant soon but I would like to resolve this issue first. Please help.

I know this is a really old question but no one  had mentioned that it could be a yeast infection. Take probiotics if you have dry itchy skin down there and see if that helps. Avoid alcohol and reduce sugar intake Until it clears up. And always pee after sex!

wanna use this medium to inform everyone ,about traditional medicine. i ordered  for hsv herbal medicine from dr.***@**** email i saw in vegan post on facebook. And received it through ups within 5 days and used it as directed . in just 2 weeks of medication i felt relived, the inching suddenly stopped, the cold sore began to dry up. i went for a text and was HSV 2 negative . same virus the scientific researchers said no definite cure, i endorse traditional herbal medicine for all who are in need of alternative cure for any deadly disease that can cause .infertility and discomfort.

Try to use Aloe but don't buy a gel. Just go to the vegetables store and buy a big Aloe leaf. Cut piece of it then cut this piece in half ( the way you would cut a Kaiser roll). Cut out the soft gel from it and apply to the skin. Aloe heels wounds, burns and even hemorrhoids. Maybe it will help you with those tearing problems. Try to avoid g- strings as well. I think Aloe will help just use it for some time.

What you guys can use is anbesol oral anesthetic/benzocaine regular stregth gel. Its not just for toothache etc.it is also use for the virginal area for itching etc. It works really well. Anbesol is surely a solution to your problems, apply only to the outer area not the inner virgina area.

I have vaginal fissure that reopens and closes near the forschette, at the perineum, i have couple of sex partners, but accidentally married the "biggest one", at the begining i didnt know what the hell was going on down there, then i went at my gyno and she explained it to me that it was duo to my husband being too big, i know it is from him he has 5.9 inch penis girth,(circumference), i know that average girth is 4.7 inch, so i know it is from his thickness, that i tear every time we have sex and at the beginning it were huge tears, but since i started using virgin coconut oil i get fewer tears, if i tore for example everytime we had sex, now i i tore every second time we are having sex and in certain positions more badly, but its like pencil line, and i have herpes, but i dont think it is causing the tear, i tear at the same place for 4 years, and it is happening only after rough sex and in certain positions and is more bad if i havent been lubricated with the coconut oil, and if we havent had much foreplay, so i suggest plenty of foreplay before sex, i am considering leaving my husband, because i know that he is causing the problem, because i had 6 year relationship with much smaller guy and i havent had any promlems whatsoever down there, in fact the sex was amazing with the "smaller penis guy" so i know it is the girth that is causing this, i was worried earlier but as time passes i am more convinced that i should get a divorce, we only live once, i dont want to tear till the rest of my days and be in a constant worry whether i will develop something more serious like lichen sclerosis or some autoimmune disease, since i read that lichen sclerosis begins with something like a normal cut, i worry because i tore at the same place, all the time and the skin is irritated and there is a proccess of healing all the time at the same spot, so i am deadly afraid it could cause lichen sclerosis, which is uncurable.

I often itch too but closer to my cycle time. Best thing that works for me is Vaseline it helps it heal fast because the Tears hurt. I would also change your soap too anything with fragrance may cause itching and irritation
