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 had burning in the vaginal region and a tear. It never hurt to pee but it burned and started to itch. I had a culture done and it came back negative for herpes but now I'm concerned. I still have slight burning after 6 weeks. Does anyone know about this or have any input to help?

I have read all the posts, and NONE of them are closest to what I am experiencing.  I am 58 years old, Menopausal, and have been married to my sweetheart for 14 years.  We are both on our second marriage.  Last December, we were in a car wreck, broadside by a 3/4 ton truck, and I was very lucky to have been wearing my seat belt, as I always do.  So were the other people in the vehicle.  I was the only one injured, with a broken right clavicle, bruised ribs and tissue damage.  Of course, I was initially prescribed Percoset, but NOT a stool softener.  I became SOOOO constipated, that I became impacted, and in the process of trying to have a bowel movement, I tore very badly between the vagina and anus.  Once I got on a powerful laxative regimen, the constipation issue became resolved, but now, I am constantly tearing, and cannot have sex with my dear, sweet, understanding husband.  And he doesn't want to hurt me, so he doesn't bother me.  I worry about his health, since ejaculation is VERY beneficial for man's prostate, and the more frequently they ejaculate, the less likely they are of developing Prostate cancer.  I read that in a Medical Journal several years ago.  I suspect that I can cure the problem by having my hormone's tested and getting on BHRT, but have no money to spare right now to do that.  I know that BHRT will repair the elasticity in the skin in the perineum and vaginal area, but I wonder if there is another approach, costing less money, that will fill the bill.  I feel like I keep getting an epesiotomy over and over again!  BTW, My husband does NOT have a large organ, but it has always been perfect for me.  Now, even that hurts me.  Alternatively, I will take care of him in other ways (manually), to help him and protect him from developing negative Prostate issues.  I love him SO much, that I will do whatever it takes to help keep him healthy.  He's 70 years old, and has a WICKED libido! LOL!

So glad it's not just me... I have had multiple tears now and it's really starting to hurt... How do I go about sorting it as I am only 17 and easily embarrassed.... Any help would be great x

Hey ladies,

Are many of you on birth control pills? I've been doing so much research and it seems that many woman have said this problem started after they began BC. Mine did as well, about a month or two after starting the pill.

Most women said they had no more cuts when they stopped the pill. So I'm thinking this might have something to do with the pill. Even though most gynecologists don't think it's connected to the pill.

Can you use Wound Be Gone inside? Thats where I get a cut :(
