Vaginal tears

[mkopsick]

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).

I have been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half and we have been having sex. about a month ago we went through a very rough time and us being intimate made us feel closer so we were having sex every day for about 7 days straight. the lower part of my vagina was really starting to hurt and became very sore so we stopped, but now there is this like red spot, almost like a circle down there and i dont know what to do. we tried having sex again to see if it still hurt, it didn't during sex but after it did. Im scared it might be an STD but im praying its not. I am young. and i just need help. please.

Hi, my girlfriend bleeds after sex.  As far as I know it's coming from inside the vagina and not the visible outside.  Unlike what I've been reading, she says it doesn't hurt or sting so I'm curious as to what it is...

Any ideas on why this is happening?  It happens every other time I masturbate her or insert my penis into her.

It is scary because going to the doctor isn't an option right now.

PLEASE GO TO THE DOCTOR if it is at all persistent or re-occuring.... You have to interrupt the cycle. Yeast is opportunistic. Thanks to who else suggested to go to the Dr.

Demand your Dr. to try what my Dr. finally tried. (and later apologized for no being more aggressive the first times...)

My problem is still solved I drink coffee and workout...no weird diet and no lichen...

My Dr. prescribed a "Z-pack" Which is Zithromax 250MG/Generic=Azithromycin=4 pills. He prescribed Flagyl 500MG=Metronidazole=14 pills. He prescribed Clobetasol .05% cream=a topical steroid, which I was going to use if I needed it after the antibiotics, but I didn't (maybe I used it for 2-3 days) - I was worried about the steroid, b/c of the fact that it thins the skin and it seemed counter - production intuitively to me). Anyhow the Antibiotics worked great! My body was able to heal itself after the Antibiotic Napalm Bomb. Now I can eat healthier and what ever else I want to try with the problem solved!

I am still totally fine and most people who really have a solution don't return to a site like this to leave specific drugs and detail to the persistent problem they are finally rid of... I worry about people fearing something terrible and not going to dr. or trying everything under-the sun over the counter and irritating the problem...

AND IF I had read that message (to go to dr.) earlier, instead of all of the posts that listed some or no success I could've possibly been free of this years ago. AND if it comes back I will go immediately back and demand the exact prescription I listed on my previous posting....

I just went on vacation with my new boyfriend, which is where we had sex for the first time. he had warned me many times before that he has an extremely large penis, so i brought lots of lube as I had not had sex for 6 months. The sex was almost so painful, I couldn't really enjoy it, even though we used lube and he was gentle, but not to ruin his pleasure, i suffered through what must have been more than 10 sessions. I noticed when I went to pee a few days later, a burning that made me scream aloud. Then noticed small spottings of blood on tissue with wiping. I looked down there with mirror, noticed 4 tiny cuts on my inner labia. Also i was very red around the vaginal opening. And I also became very itchy a few days after that. This experience has made me never want to have sex again with my new boyfriend who happens to be a real sweetheart.

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 :)

As everyone on the forum has said (that I found anyway), the tears are just something that have to heal on their own. It *****. It really does because the pain is like nothing you've ever felt in that area... But leaning forward when you pee helps tremendously as well as having a cold cloth nearby to dab at the area to cool it off.

That's basically how I dealt with it. It took mine a long time (about two weeks or so) to heal enough just to be tolerable and about another week or two before it was fully healed. Not a fun time. But all is good now. :) I've never had the problem before and haven't since, thankfully.
