Vaginal tears
Does anyone experience vaginal tears from just peeing, going to the bathroom, wiping yourself, or from sex?
This happens frequently to me and it is very painful - I have gone to the doctor but all they give me is some ointment that does not help (steriod ointment).

Hi there,
Ive had this problem since i became sexually active. I'm 29 now and it is still a problem. I've had thrush and bv yes, but when i haven't had them, i still get the perineal tears at the back.
When i've had partners with a smaller penis, I found I didn't suffer too badly at all. When they've been a handsome size, it's been awful!
I also found that different sexual positions can cause it more too, like from behind, so it is worth avoiding those until you find something to stop them occuring.
Sometimes i wonder if my hymen didn't break enough, i think i can still see some intact to this day, even after a natural birth. It seems unlikely but it doesn't look far back enough? Perhaps I'm wrong but it looks to still cover a third of me there?
I guess it's one of those things. I've tried using gels there and i mentioned it once at the gum clinic (hard to tell whether we have bv or thrush sometimes and they do on the spot checks and give treatment there and then) and they gave me aqueous cream to wash with which helped a little, but it still happened. Worth a try i suppose for those who haven't used it yet?
Best wishes to you all x

I am so totally amazed that so many have similar problems. I've had 4 children but only one, my premmie, was a vaginal birth. I have just come off a course of strong antibiotics and recognised the signs of a yeast infection so grabbed a one dose tablet from the chemist. However this afternoon after going I was stinging a bit so I dabbed myself clean with some fragrance free baby wipes and then dabbed dry with some toilet paper and sure enough, I had bled a little. I'm almost positive that this particular brand of toilet paper is possibly a partial cause because it's scented....I hate scented toilet paper but it was cheap and soft! Because my children have super sensitive skin though I've always avoided the scented stuff - we don't like eczema'd boy bits.
I've had this problem seriously since my almost 4 year old youngest was born - but haven't been totally right since my VBAC but he was tiny so really shouldn't have caused any problems. Also, not helping is my current addiction to chocolate...I admit it - I eat WAY too much but I think I'm after the high I can't get any other way, LOL. My poor husband though - I didn't tell him that last time we had intercourse he'd made me bleed - I think he gets sick of hearing which parts hurt, what with my fibro and degenerating discs and arthritis and migraines etc etc....but honestly, when everything is causing pain, the "whoohaa" doesn't get turned on at all. Poor fella. If I could talk him into understanding maybe it would be easier. All he does is tell me to find a specialist. Sorry, specialists cost more money than we have - he hates my GP - and this is a basic problem it seems. I'm just 'happy' if that's the correct word for it, that I'm not alone.

I have atear from sex with a new partner who used his own condom with lots of "bumps" I guess for pleasure. It tore almost immediately and even though I got up and used vaseline it was really paunful. The timing of this is awful. I'm getting ready for my daughter's wedding and knew I shouldn't get into any of this before the wedding. It's so distracting. Trying to have a bowel movement with IBS is so painful!
To anyone who has had this issue with labia or perineum tears and burning uncomfortable pain during sex, urination or sweating... Also can cause anal fissures (anal tears) I have had the same thing occur for over two years! I went from doctor to doctor and was checked for every STD imaginable. What I have found out has changed my life and finally given me freedom from this. I found out about systemic Candida and started eliminating yeast, sugar and a few other things from my diet. Many different things can cause it, such as being on antibiotics or stress. Sex seems to exacerbate it and you can pass it back and forth to your partner as they experience symptoms rarely and usually its anal itching. Google systemic candida and I guarantee you that if your doctors cant seem to find anything wrong that this will change your life and allow you to live a normal sex life again. I find that if I slip and start eating a lot of sugar even if its fruit that the systems will come back! Good luck to all who have this issue because it is truly debilitating.... Also apple cider vinegar diluted with water applied directly to the area or soaking with 1-2 cups of vinegar in bath tends to temporarily alleviate symptoms. Amazon has quite a few books on this subject that were extremely helpful!!
I have had labia skin tears and just thought I'd have to suffer with it. However, I found that after using sulfer soap (which I could only purchase online via amazon) that my labia skin tears healed up. The soap doesn't burn or anything and is very reasonably priced.
I sincerely hope you respond to this,
I am being shipped off to a Vulvar center 5 hours from home next month to undergo study and treatment for this condition because of all the gynos I've been to, no one has any idea what this is. What did they call it? What did they prescribe? I really would like to go in with answers.
