Small tears on outside of vagina Posted: 05-04-08 16:18pm


I was wondering if any of you could help me. I have a few small tears that I get on the outside of my vagina (only on the left side). These tears appear usually around the time of my period, appear in the same location, and go away a few weeks after my period. This area is not painful at all. The only thing I experience is slight discomfort when wiping (due to the open cuts) and occasional itching. I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some insight to what this could be.

If it is itchy it may be from something like a yeast infection. You may just have dry skin. I would recommend going to your doctor to get it checked out to make sure everything is okay.

Sounds like dryness from your hormones brought on by your period. There are creams that can help these cuts, like creams with estrogen or even vagisal. You could see your gyno to if there are any other reasons for this like infection. You can also see your gyno for cream to help ease the discomfort you have.

I had the same thing happen a few times when I was pregnant. I showed the doctor because I was concerned something was wrong. She said it wasn't anything unusual and told me to put Neosporin cream on to heal it up and stop any discomfort. It works.
