internal abrasion

my story is kinda long but i want to give as much detail as possible. i was tested for everything in june of 2010. i had sex with the man i lost my virginity to in early september without a condom. he got tested in december and told me everything was negative. in mid december i met my current boyfriend and we began using condoms. the condoms would hurt me so bad i was in agony i would be so sore and not wanting to have sex because of the pain they caused me. i explained to him that i hadnt been tested but my ex partner did and said everything was fine. basically im saying we ditched the condoms (my partner was previously tested and came back negative results also has never been with a woman without a condom prior to me). about a week and a half later (right before my period) i started bleeding two to three tiny spots of blood only after sex. and i freaked out after reading these blogs during this scare my boyfriend and i used condoms and again experienced the excruciating pain. I saw my doctor about a week after ending my period. i was tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia and according to my doctor i looked fantastic down there ;). my test results came back negative and my ex partner got tested again and told me everything came back negative. the bleeding two to three spots continued for about a week more and i noticed that the blood was coming from these internal cuts near the posterior fourchet . there were like five small cracks of raw skin exposed and one larger rip from the beginning of the outside rim to inside. i dont know if these were caused by the friction of the condoms but i expected that they did. i applied neosporin and desitin and with a q tip applied small amounts of bactine on the outside rim, but did not refrain from having sex. and just to inform u i have no discharge, no pain, no itchy, no smell, no tingling, nothing just the area is a sore only after sex and during first penetration. i read the blogs once again and read that neosporin was terrible for u lol so i bought vitamin E tablets and soaked in hydrogen peroxide baths, and the small cracks healed almost entirely (its only been two days) no more blood, rarely any pain during sex, the larger rip has decreased in size but now (idk if it was always there and i just didnt notice it) the larger rip has a white color tone to it in the center. idk if this is because its healing or the neosporin made it that way. i have had these cuts now im assuming for almost a month and have never experienced them before. im happy to see that they r healing but WHY is the larger rip turning white. google is my enemy and ive seen that HPV, herpes, and warts are all possibilties. give me something ladies tell me if im not alone because im freaking out. i have an appointment with my gyno's physician assistant (my gyno was booked for another month) for this upcoming tuesday morning (its saturday) and its killing me all i do is think about what do i do. and if i did contract this from my ex partner shouldnt i have experienced symptoms of HPV, herpes, or warts already (r sexual encounter happened in september its now february) and neither my bf nor my partner have anything at all no outbreaks or anything! god someone please console me.

i just wanted to inform anyone that reads this i did go to the gyno today and she said she could barely see my cuts because they have healed she said she doesnt believe its herpes because when a sore bursts from herpes during an outbreak it causes discomfort and stinging and pain (i have none of those symptoms) she did take a swab from my natural discharge my body produces and said that it did contain some yeast. she gave me a pill for that and script to go get tested for hiv, hepatitis a and b, herpes, and syphilis (i was tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea last month and came out negative). also the white/cream color from my cut she said was barely there now but could have been a cause of it just healing like any other cut. she told me absolutely no sex for at least two weeks since thats the one thing i havent done. im on the way to go get tested now. i hope this helps other girls whose minds r going into shambles. mine was and kinda currently is i feel a little more relieved hearing that my doctor said everything appears to be normal.

I honestly would stay away from Google. I know from personal experience that it eases the mind if you can find answers on your own, but when u have a severe back pain (example) and you read the symptoms for kidney stones, it is very easy to start jumping to conclusions! Your story sounds exactly like what I went through. 1 week before getting married, my husband and I had sex and used a condom ( it was my first time) and it was EXTREMELY painful, but I figured it was because it was my first time. Once we were on our honeymoon a week later we had sex again (no condom) several times during those days, each time was excrutiating pain for me ( and a little bleeding)! Needless to say, not a very fun honeymoon (It was so painful, I avoided being with him at all costs- poor guy!). I went to the doctor and he told me that I was severly allergic to the latex and that it would be ok, all i needed to do was to let my body heal for a week or so and not to have sex for that time (the friction would irritate it again- even without the condom) and not to put ANYTHING on it - especially Neosporin :-), just to leave it alone and let it heal on it's own. Even after that week of no sexual activity, to try to keep it at a minimum for a couple of more weeks-let me tell u, that is not easy to do as newlyweds, but... I did that and honeslty 7 yrs ( and 0 condoms later, I couldn't be happier ;). You may think that from Sept until now it should have healed, but if you have been quite active sexually and have been putting different stuff on and in it to help it "heal" for these months, it may have just been hurting it further (between chemical ingredients and the friction from the sex). Just give your body a break and give it time... I think it took me a little over two months or so for it to heal entirely (that area takes alot longer to heal), so just relax and take it easy, and NO MORE GOOGLING until u see your dr:) Good luck!
