vaginal tears.....
hello, im having a crisis.... every single time that i have sex with my boyfriend, no matter how wet or dry i am, i always get a bunch of very painful tears. it doesnt hurt when were having sex, but afterwords i look at it in the mirror and it is like scrapes that are open. I have no idea what to do, my skin is very sensitive. if my bf just grabs my butt, i will get a tear, somebody help me ehre, what can i possibly do????
hi everyone,i too have the same problem had a sore womans part for 2and a half years not had sex since january with my husband,on hrt as i have had a very early menopause!!going in to hospital for surgery fri for the modified fenton procedure so scared and hope it works can't stand it anymorereally!!
I am 17 and am sexually active. I use to get small cuts and they would heal quickly now I have two very deep cuts one on the hood and one by the anal (I think those are from sex). I also have lots of little scraps on the soft skin of my vaginal lips. It starts as a tiny bump then becomes a scrap . It's extreamly painful. I am trying Mupirocin Topical oitment to see if it helps. Does anyone else have the little bumps that lead to the scraps ?
I have the same problem. My boyfriend is slightly bigger, but we didn't have this problem at the beginning of our relationship. After the first few times this happened it wasn't very severe and went away in a few days. Then it got so bad even after using a lot of lube and tons of foreplay he could barely get the tip in without causing me extreme amounts of pain. It's gotten to where we don't have sex at all and every single ounce of my sex drive has gone out the window. I'm not sure which came first, my lack of sex drive or the tearing. I thought the lack of sex drive was caused by my birth control so I stopped taking that and waited a few months and nothing changed. This whole situation is really tearing us apart. I can't tell if it's him that I'm not attracted to anymore or if it's all this psychological crap from it hurting during sex that could have lead to the lowered sex drive. I love him to death but how can I say "I do" when all of this crap is making me doubt wether I want to even have sex with him. I'm hoping I can get some answers on how to fix this. Even after not having sex for almost two months, sometimes when I wipe it still tears (and even in different places than the ones that tore during sex) this is what makes me think it's just an all around skin problem and not just from sex. If anyone has some answers please let me know.
I'm having an issue. My girlfriend and I were apart from eachother for over two weeks and so naturally when I got back, that night was a little crazier than normal. Not like hard and fast for hours but many times that day you know? Anyway the next morning we tried again and it was too painfull for her. Turns out she got torn. It's not like it was too dry or too rough or anythig but it happened anyway. This has hap
I had this exact painful condition many years ago and my gynocologist must have been very good because she prescribed my called MonistatDerm and it worked! My insurance didnt cover it but it is worth the $30. Also, only use Dove soap. Plain white bar of Dove soap. She also introduced me to a lubricant called Astroglide. It works so much better and feels so much more natural. Lastly, I believe these tears are from yeast or too much sugar in your urine or even not enough good bacteria cultures down there. As wierd as it may sound, plain yogurt down there helps to balance the good and bad cultures down there. Hope this helps!
I've had the same thing for 18 months and have seen 2 GPs and 3 gynes. Have tried antifungals (creams and tablets), antibiotic cream, hormone cream, abstinence and exercises. The best thing for me was 1. Lots of lube. Try lots of brands till you find a good one. KY dries out and gets too sticky. 2. Avoid condoms if you can. Obviously only if you are both clear from STIs. 3. lots of foreplay. 4. The exercise my latest gynae suggested...imagine you have a tampon stuck and try to push it out. Do this in the mirror and you will see all the inside of your vagina appear framed by your inner lips. You could even try putting something (dildo, fingers, vegetable) in and pushing it out. Once you are good at this, do it as your man penetrates you. Bizarrely this makes your opening looser and penetration less painful. This works best where you have lots of control over penetration, i.e with you on top. The bad news is that this is managing the situation but doesn't cure it. When I saw gynae today he proposed surgery. Its been happening for so long that there is a small thread of scar tissue and the part of me (the "fourchette") had become un elastic. The procedure is called a "modified Fenton's Procedure" . Its very similar to what they do to fix episotomy scars. I'll let you know how I get on. Good Luck
hey---this happens to me-----been discussing it with harvard-girl also-----my gyno has put me on a hormone cream to put in the areas that tear before I have sex----Even though I use tons of KY----adding this in has really helped----he says that adding a hormone in that area will keep me moister than before----so far so good!!!!
good luck!
good luck!
hey this happens to me. the same thing. im in the process of seeing a bunch of doctors. but this past week i tried putting neosporin on and its actually feeling a lot better. i haven't had sex in a few days, but the neosporin is healing the cuts. i personally think i just lack lubrication there and my skin is really dry and sensitive. im going to the doctor tomorrow, though, so ill let you know if she gives me any advice.
Have you seen your gyn? If s/he can't help you, I'd see a dermatologist (that might actually be a better first contact). But do see a doctor... why suffer needlessly?
Hi, wow that IS sensitive! Have u been to the dr about it? Ive not heard of skin that sensitive before. Have u tried taking things a bit slower to see if it helps at all? The type of condom may help aswell? Tried looking on other web pages?
Hopefully someone will be able to help a bit better.
