Intercourse Caused Vaginal Tear..?
Posted: 09-08-07 00:01am

well, i've been having painful sex for about 2 months now.. and it seems to be getting worse. the pain is only on one side of my vagina.. and it's near the entrance. i examinded and found that there is an area that looks cut & it's kinda swolen around the area.. i'm guessing i have a vaginal tear. have any other women had any experiences with this? i keep trying to give it time to heal but, i'm not sure exactly how much time i need. i've given up sex for a week, at the most.. but when i try again, it still hurts. any ideas?

Go see an ob-gyn. There may be a cream s/he can give you to help it heal faster. Until then, there's not much you can do.

I was just wondering what your result was because I am experiencing just that exact thing right now. I had one tear (kind of a split in the skin on my inner labia on one side of the opening. I gave it almost a week to heal and then had sex again with my boyfriend and now I'm noticing that the first cut is almost healed, but there is another one on the opposite side. I have an appointment with my obgyn tomorrow, but I'd really appreciate hearing what you went through.

Pain and irritation from sex can be caused by more serious underlying conditions- you should get checked!

Go to the obgyn and see if you can be prescribed something to make it heal faster. Also, maybe get it checked out to make sure it isn't std related. Refraining from sex for a little would probably be good so you don't keep agitating and reopening it.

I had this when I was pregnant. Apparently my boyfriend was extremely into me at that time and we just had a ton of sex. I went to the doctor and the doctor just told him to lay off....So we had to stop having sex for a good 3-4 weeks. You have to give it more time to heal than you would if it were a cut on your finger reason being that the cut on your finger hits the air and dries up fast and heals. The vaginal tear is pretty much always moist and does not heal as fast. The doctor did not give me anything but tell me to chill out on the sex for a bit and we did and I was fine within a month.

I had this problem a litttle over a year ago. i went to the gyn and she told me that it could be friction and gave me some lube to use and I bought my own also. We used lube ever since and I didn't have that problem again.

Is it commmon for women to experience a tear?
Posted: 02-03-08 13:28pm

I had sex last night and when we got of bed we noticed that there was blood on the sheets. I had finished my period a week and a half ago so I knew that wasn't the cause so it really freaked me out. I have never bled after having sex before. It had been a few weeks since we had seen each other and I felt a bit sore our second time together, but I've been abstinent for a year and half without bleeding the initial time. It seemed like a lot of blood initially until I calmed down and I realized that it seemed like so much because it had mixed with "other bodily fluids". When I took a shower I felt a stinging sensation inside close to the entrance of me and realized I had a small cut. I'm assuming it's cut since I don't feel torn. I was relieved that I knew this is what had caused me to bleed and not something more serious, but now I'm just surprised. To my knowledge I have never been cut or torn before and I want to know if this is common for women? The sex was a bit rough, but that's nothing new. I was wet so that wasn't a factor. It did feel as if he was hitting the wall of me at times so I don't know if that's it. Anything anyone could tell would be great...thanks!!!!!

It sounds like that particular position caused a little extra damage to the wall of your vagina.

Thanks for your reply Eiri. I guess it did. Is this a common situation for women? I've always been a studious person, sex included, but I've never read about this issue. Is it common for women to experience this? Should I be concerned?

Well, the vagina is a delicate area. I don't know how common it is, but I do hear of a lot of women on this board with fissures/cuts. I wouldn't worry.

my boyfriend and I had some very rough dry sex 2 wkends ago . . . the next day I noticed it stung a little when I peed. then the next day I got really itchy . . . I'm very prone to yeast infections and can recognize the symptoms, but have never had a tear that has lasted this long - about a week now . . . I'm very paranoid and went to the doc to get std checked . . . at first he told me that my cut looked a little like herpes, then I told him that when I started itching, I scratched - hard! after he did my yeast test he came back and said that it was probably from the yeast and rough sex and scratching . . . but I got the std tests anyway - have to wait a week for the results . . . bottom line is, I'll get tears/cuts around my vagina from time to time if I have dry sex, get fingered too much, during my period, etc... if you're positive you're clean, then just remember to use lube! also, don't have sex until it's healed up - you're only prolonging the healing. and it is a very very sensitive area with very delicate skin. when you tinkle now, dab or pat instead of wipe and never wipe your poo toward your vagina. ps - I didn't like what the doctor initially said so I had my best girlfriend come over and give me a second opinion, she's a nurse practitioner and said I just had a tear and nothing more
