Hi  everyone, So I have an unhealthy vagina apparently. I get yeast infections, UTIS and fissures. My vaginal Fissures don't seem to go away. The Doctor gives me cream, doesn't seem to work. I'm very embarrassed because I feel like I am always in the gynecologist office! But nothing seems to work. I am not very sexual active, but I was on birth control and just got off. Nothing seems to make them go away! If someone has any kind of home solution I will try it! HELP!!!

Yes! I have been struggling with fissures, they will not go away. Herpes are sores, Fissures are cuts!

The number one reason for vulvar cancer they say is Lichen Sclerosus.  Apparently, it causes more vulvar cancer than HPV  yet, why has that information not been made public like HPV has.    When I was diagnosed with LS, I was shocked to see that in vulvar cancer, LS is the cause in 60% of cases vs 40% from HPV yet I had never heard of it before.

For paper-cut type fissues on vagina, try this - it works!!!   Vitamin D drops (I use the brand Sundown, and you can get at Publix).  Just put a few drops on the "paper-cut" and immediately the pain is gone and it's healed.  I promise it truly works.  I had tried neosporin, peroxide, pure aloe vera, vaseline, and none of those worked.  Something told me to try the Vitamin D and to my relief it really did relieve the problem :)

Hi there,

I have had persistent itchiness for almost two years now, the little tears which come up continuously and bumps as well. Was intrigued when I read your post and after researching VIN it seems like maybe what I have. I can't get an appointment for another 6 weeks at the clinic so I was just hoping you could say how yours has been treated and if you are free of symptoms? Thanks very much

LADIES PLEASE TRY THIS!

Hello everyone, like you I suffered from vaginal tearing and fissures for about 3 years. Although our circumstances may be a different I think it is worth a shot to try this cream that my doctor gave me. I am 23 years old and starting tearing since I was 20. I started to have sex when I was 20 and a bit after I started tearing after sex. It was the same paper cut like ripping that burned and just made me miserable. And although sex was the main reason why I would rip, i remember a few times I would get really irritated just from stretching. I am still with my boyfriend from when the ripping first started and I went from doctor to doctor (No STD's, not allergic to anything, etc) and just about every time was a let down. I was told to try x,y,z cream, dont wash with soap, do a sitz bath, to having HIM checked out if he had a skin type that wasn't compatible to mine (weird right), to finally hearing "you may just have to be extra careful with sex or regular stretching from now on". And I am telling you ladies, I know how this feels and can just ruin your self esteem and any thought of having an actual pleasurable sex life. It wasn't until this past year I went to a different gynecologist and I told her everything that I have been through. I told her that I have had it up to here and want to get the surgery done where the opening is just widened a bit ( i think its called a perineum) because I was so desperate!. And while she told me this is usually done only for women after they have had babies she would agree to do it but first she wanted me to try this cream  because she believes I have vulvar vestibulitis. Now I dont think this cream has an exact name as I had to go to a special pharmacy to get this cream made but I will write down the name that is on my prescription. It is: C-amitriptyl/Baclofen 2%/ 2% IN VANICREAM. Now she told me to apply about 1/2 grams three times a day for the first month, then lessen to two times a day on the second month, to once a day on the third month. She told me that I would maybe need to always have a little bit of this cream handy just incase i start ripping again. Although I was extremely skeptical. I did tried this. I should also note that during the first and halfway through the second month my boyfriend was overseas in the military, so I was having no sex (which i think helped the skin heal and strengthen faster). The first night we had sex, i ripped a little bit. (ugh!) And I was not surprised just annoyed. But I didn't stop using the cream. After a few more days, we had sex again, and I didn't rip. Then as time went by I stopped ripping completely!! Mind you we are a bit more cautious in certain positions but we do like to get a little crazy, and even at the crazy time I dont rip! I have been a little irritated but at those times I know it because we had rough sex. I now use the cream just once every other day ( or when I can remember) and hopefully in a few months I won't use it at all! So ladies, if you can go to your gynecologist and ask them about this cream!!

Good Luck!
