Q: Irritation After Menstural Period

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.

Infection
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!
