Irritation After Menstural Period Posted: 03-07-06 21:35pm
After my menstural period I have vaginal
irritation and I get little tears in my
genitals... In the past my doctor has
said that it is a vaginal bacterial
infection. I have been tested for every
std there is several times... Can someone
explain this?

Hey. I've noticed that lately after my
period, and I have no idea what causes it!
Just thought i'd let you know so you
don't feel weird ;)
i cant speak for you, cos your problem may
be different, but for me, I just ignore
it. I am certain it has nothing to do
with infections - i've never had an
infection. On one or two occasions it
has actually taken weeks for the little
tear to heal, but I just tell myself not
to touch it, just let it heal itself.
It's not even really a problem for me cos
the only time it hurts is when im washing.
Just be gentle with youself,
particularly when you're washing or doing
assorted naughty things :)
it might just go away in a while. I
haven't noticed any of these tears for a
few months now.

I had that problem when I first started
getting my rag. They go away, they won't
be there forever. I know it sucks because
it hurts or it may itch, but it will go
away sooner or later. Don't worry urself
with it. And u have to remember that ur
body is going through a lot of hormonal
changes down there after u rag, so maybe
it has something to do with that.

my period for many years now also.

I too have had that problem, I definetly
feel all your pain! Just a suggestion,
but try getting checked out for yeast
infections, because that it what caused
mine. Sometimes if it is just a mild
infection you can just experience itching
or irritation and without much cause the
skin can tear. The skin is so fragile
that even wiping yourself after the
bathroom, or sex can cause tears.
Hope that helps!

good point, if all tests are negative you
could try switching to unbleached pads or
tampons, reusable/washable pads or my
personal favourite, a mooncup or
divacup.
Also, avoid bubble bath and other scented
products in that area.

Avoid lotions, powder and be sure to keep
your fingernails trimmed and if you have a
guy that you fool around with down there,
make sure his are clipped too. I get
small tears from fingernails and don't
realize it til after the fact and its
irriating!
