perineum cuts after sex
after i have sex w/my boyfriend, i have these cuts on my perineum. It looks like paper cuts almost. i think it may have something to do w/his penis being a bit girthy, does anyone else have this problem? also, im having vaginal discomfort afterwards if we have sex for a second time. it's almost like a burning sensation right at the vaginal opening. It could result from not being lubricated enough but i am lubricated and it just doesn't make sense to me. help!
I have to agree with Frankie. I've been married for 8 years and have suffered from itchiness, burning, paper cuts, recurrent yeast infections since the day I started having sex with my husband. My doctor could never figure out why. Then, last month, I had a genital herpes outbreak. Extremely painful blisters and sores. My husband has never had an outbreak but tested positive for the antibodies. Doctor said it could have been dormant for 15 years or more. We'll never really know who contracted it first but at this point it doesn't matter. Looking back, I think all the itchiness, burning and cuts was part of the herpes. Doctors don't know these things. I recommend everyone in this forum get tested.
I've had one or two similar small cuts in my perineum area for more than 4 months, I don't think the sex was making it worst, it healed and came back randomly, but of ourse it did affect my sex life as it huted when touched. I also noticed that when I went to the toilet for number 2 and the cut was closed it usually opened, and I could see blood from it on the paper, and when it was open it hurted when the pee touched it, or anything actually. So I went to the gyno and he thought it was herpes by the looks. He did a test and it wasn't, so I went back and he did more tests and found out some bacteria that shoudn't be there, he passed me the medicin Dalacin (Clindamycin) and I am using it for 5 days now and my cuts did not open again since I began, so I really have my hopes up for this now, maybe it can be the case of some of you, ask for all the tests.
Yes, you have herpes. These are the symptoms, this is what happens, you get small tears, those are called fissures. The same thing happened to me, and I went to the doctor while I had the cuts, they tested them and sure enough there you go. The soreness is part of the herpes symptoms, not from sex, but somehow sex brings the cuts on, they sting, heal slowly and make going to the bathroom even a pain. I thought it was low estrogen, but my guy got tested too and he carries the antibodies for herpes and had no idea. If you take the acyclovir, the cuts go away. You can take that every day for the rest of your life and you won't get breakouts. Or your guy can take it, not sure who needs to take it as its all new to me. It *****, there you go. Sorry for the news. This probably applies to most of the comments on here, apparently 1 in 6 people have it, men spread it, and don't tell women that they have it. Its now considered normal not to tell people when you have an STD, which is utter crap. Also, men don't often get the symptoms or know they carry it until they give it to a woman. Yes, you can give it even when not having an outbreak.

You are an I-d-i-o-t. Think before you speak and know your sh!t. Just because you have herpes doesn't mean everyone does. Vaginal tears are common and can be caused my numerous things as can many of the herpes symptoms. You are so dumb I'm shocked that you even have a partner. My doctor wanted to assume just like you did and guess what? My boyfriend and I both tested clean for every STD. Don't go around scaring people just because you weren't one of the lucky ones and I am sorry for that but don't ever tell someone they have something because that is so serious and you aren't even close to being a doctor or an STD test.
Hi tinkertot,
I have just read your post. My dr has put me on ovestin a week ago. I have a new man and when I slept with him it was uncomfortable and I had the paper cuts as well.
Anyway I was wondering if you felt different in 3 weeks in to your treatment.
I will see him again in two weeks but I am scared sex will be uncomfortable again. Also, I am worried that he might taste the medicine. Could you please tell me about your experience?

Do not use oil as it can breakdown condoms, and hydrocortisone should not be used in the genital area.
Lubricant, WATER BASED is extraordinarily helpful and some can be used for oral sex as well as massages as they are flavored (try sweet licks which you can get a Spencer's for about 6 bux, and it heats up as well. It's GREAT for foreplay, and my bf loves it as well! I use the watermelon and it really tastes good :)
When fissures which are little tears result, don't have sex a second time or even a day or so, it's only adding insult to injury. especially bc once tearing or being cut, the spermicide on the condom could be causing the burning sensation.
Also pay attention to which brand you use or switch to as each had their own spermicidal formula, and you may have an allergy to a specific one if not latex. I found out very quickly after having sex the first time that I have a very severe reaction with Trojan brand condoms, but not Lifestyles.
Balmex can be used on outside tissues such as the labia and majora and surrounding areas, and unscented baby wipes can be used when peeing over the few days following(also as your dr. About tucks pads.) regular toilet paper can cause more irritation, but if it's necessary, for example when you're out, try simply patting yourself dry with it instead if wiping.
