perineum cuts after sex
after i have sex w/my boyfriend, i have these cuts on my perineum. It looks like paper cuts almost. i think it may have something to do w/his penis being a bit girthy, does anyone else have this problem? also, im having vaginal discomfort afterwards if we have sex for a second time. it's almost like a burning sensation right at the vaginal opening. It could result from not being lubricated enough but i am lubricated and it just doesn't make sense to me. help!
So what's the. Best thing to do, I am sick of this discomfort during sex and it makes me feel like it's my fault.
I have been having serious problems for 5 years - cuts (that bleed) after sex, always in the same place, meaning I cannot have sex often, or as freely as I would like. It has had a serious effect on me and my husband, and makes me very depressed. He has stayed with me and stayed faithful, though at times I have suggested breaking up our marriage over it.
It started after 12 months of 'normal' sex with him, and he has a very large girth, but my body coped at first!
I have been to several drs, specialists and even therapists.
So far I know - it is not an STD, not any condition that they can tell, and as a guess from the specialist I have been told its perhaps 'thin skin' combined with psychological issues from all the problems - i.e. a vicious circle of fear of getting cut making me more tense.
I am willing to try any of the products and creams mentioned on the post, so please keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks xx

Remind your partners not to use cologne or any soaps with fragrances, as that might help. Friction can definitely tear the skin. I have never heard of the Ovestin cream to thicken the skin, but it is worth looking into.
ALSO, I had a long visit with a local vitamin store (not a commercial GNC) and I learned a lot about yeast. Yeast can appear orally, vaginally, or on your skin. They have remedies for each. Whereas my dermatologist recommended Lotrisone for yeast on my skin, the health food store gave me a bar soap called Candida Freedom which they said works great.

hi did you ever find out what you could use....im stressing out and dont know what to do and your situation is the exact same as mine right now!
I'm dealing with cuts right now. and they hurt so bad. and i get them off and on after i get done having sex with my boyfriend. I am pregnant also and i have these cuts right now. I'm not sure what to do. and I'm scared. and I'm really terrified about this. I'm intending on calling my health department to make an appointment. But also It hurts when hurts when i pee. When I'm getting ready to pee (and the pees gonna come out), Any help!!! I could really use it. and i will try that cream.
I have been having the same problem since i began having sex, which was only about 6-7 months ago. Luckily my boyfriend is very understanding and waits those few days that we cant do it in. However the situation was still incredibly frustrating for me so i made an appointment with my Gyno. Basically:
Its not a yeast infection or chlamydia
Not a STD or STI of any kind (i was tested)
and not LS
She just described it as 'thin skin' which sounds about right because whatever friction happens between my boyfriends genitals and mine, lubricated or not, shaved or hairy, i ALWAYS get the cuts, no matter what position or duration of intercourse. She prescribed 'Ovestin' oestrogen cream for me to thicken the skin. It's meant to be inserted into the vagina but since mine (and our) problems are external she said to just rub onto the affected area . She also said to be patient because it takes a month or two to work, and in the meantime she recommended using positions where the least amount of friction would occur, like doggy. Ive only been using it for a couple of weeks and i'll admit its hard to just do doggy the whole time so i havnt really been keeping up with that, but i will try, and i will report back in a month or so on how the cream has been working. but so far i have noticed that we can go longer whereas before i would feel the pain after only maybe 15 mins
