Cut in vagina

Earlier my boyfriend and I were having sex, things got a little rough, and I ended up with two decently deep cuts in my vagina.  It bled for a few minutes then stopped I got in the shower and rinsed off and the cuts look a little deep I'm worried that they may need stitches?  If not what should I do to care for them?  How long will it take themto heal, at least get less painful.   I don't really want to go to the doctor because I don't want to have to explain what happen to my parents.

Hi c1025,

Do your parents know about your boyfriend? Have they met him?
Your information says you're seventeen years old. Your health comes first.
It might be a little embarrassing telling your mom what happened,
but this is in your best interest. Your mom could make an appointment for
you to go and see your family doctor. Your injuries to your genital area
need to be attended to. I think you'll be surprised the reaction you get
from your mom. Your mom loves you. She wants the best for you.
Also if you and your boyfriend are having sex, you will need to be on some
kind of birth control so you don't get pregnant.  Please do not try and take care of these cuts on your vagina by yourself. All cuts can get infected,
then you really have a problem. Do not hide this injury from your mom and dad. Also tell your boyfriend to be more careful and not rough when you're
being intimate. I wish you the best. Oh, and that suggestion of taking sea salt baths from another poster. Awful idea. Sea salt would make the wounds sting. Trust a man to make this suggestion. Take good care, Evewisewoman ( Eve)

Hhhmmm, how old are you?  Since you are afraid to tell your parents, that suggests you are young.  BUT either way, you ARE having sex (with condoms, I pray).  You should realistically be able to tell your parents anything.  They may be shocked at first, but then they will help you.  Please do not have sex again until you are completely healed.  Then, when you do have sex again, don't be so rough. - Blu

Hi C, Look get yourself some sea salt, and put some in a warm bath, get in with and let this get inside you, it will help clean and hel you cuts, but it would be best if you can do this twice daily for a few days, but give it a couple of weeks till you have sex again.
Good luck

Similar thing happened to me recently--really deep gash on inner labia. The sex wasn't any rougher than usual..the only difference was that we used lube this time...so I definitely wasn't too dry. So. much. blood. Seems to be healing alright and doesn't hurt, just wondering how this happened/worried about having sex the next time.
