vulval cuts
Hi
This is the first time I've posted on one of these sites and it is due to the problem taking over my MIND!
It all started in November 2004 with an ex boyfriend. After sex i kept getting small cuts/fissures which bled very slightly, only after sex. I thought it was thrush because i was itchy as well. I also attributed to the fact that he was very well endowed. In certain positions I had some pain with thrusting but mostly i had a slightly painful feeling on penetration. The relationship didn't last very long. I never had any of these problems with the boyfriend before him.
I haven't had a boyfriend since and about midway through last year bought a vibrator. On and off the same thing is occuring. Small fissures that bleed. I have some slight (usually very slight) itching before my period and during and have been tested for all stds. I had a swab done for herpes from one of the cuts at the family planning clinic which came back negative and on returning to see the doctor there for a further discussion was told that my problem was very common and that why am i using a vibrator and why don't i use my fingers! Not a response i thought was appropriate.
I now am seeing another doctor who i've been to several times and she has told me to come back when the itching is there so we can test for herpes again and she said it was hard to catch, but that herpes doesn't usually bleed.
The cuts always seem to be on the left side and don't always happen. I can't help feeling that if i were to have sex though they would flare up with the friction. Help!!! I'm going crazy with worry!

Hi, I have been having this cuts around my vulva also and it usually occur each time I use d rest room to excret. It tends 2 stay 4 lyk 3 days or 4days n den it goes n comes back again. And some times, I get this frequent urine which I can't control. It embarassess me coz, I cnt go out without stuffing my virgina with tissue paper or sanitary pads. This frequent urine issue has stoped for now though... My main problem is this cut in my virgina. It hurts so bad n sometimes, gets itchy. Pls!!!! Help me out here... Thanks!

or a yeast infection.

Will you please explain to me what these cuts looked like? and how long they lasted if you didn't do anything about it. I have had a couple small cuts for a couple months. intercourse is very painful especially. I have been to the clinic a couple times and all they did was test me for std's and stuff. first time they told me it was vaginitis and second time they said it was a yeast infection. but both times the treatment did nothing. so i looked myself and i found a cut. and now idk what to do. it doesn't look like an open cut so would the alcohol work?
every time I go toilet it hurts and I have red sores on my vagina!
What is wrong with me!!

Try alcohol wipes or medical dis-infectant wipes trust me you'll wish you weren't born when you apply it to the affected area it burns so much but then the pain will subside and hopefully after a couple of days the cuts will be gone and you'll be back to normal
I must say, after reading that people have been having similar experiences as me, it has somewhat put my mind at ease, but I'm still concerned.
I've been having symptoms of a yeast infection - itching, painful urination, a thick white discharge - and it's driving me insane! I've used some over the counter yeast infection treatments, but I'm afraid nothing is working. The first two were generic, one-day treatments. And I still had all the discomfort. Finally I told my mom about it, and she said I needed monistat. Apparently I used to get yeast infections as a baby and only monistat brand would work. So, I just put in the monistat 1 ovule insert a couple hours ago and hoping this will finally work.
However, I'm having concerns. One being that when I used a cooling wipe it stung! I was thinking maybe that's from my skin being irritated from itching, but I don't know. Also, I've had this small cut at the top area of my vulva (I think in the hood area?). I saw it before (maybe a month ago) and it stung when I'd move and when I get soap on it in the shower. It went away for a while, but now I see that it's back and I think I also have a yeast infection.
Sorry for babbling so much, but now my question is, is it normal for the over the counter yeast infection treatments to not work? Is the cut related to the yeast infection (at least that's what I'm thinking it is)? Or could this all be something else? I'm so scared! Please help if anyone has advice
