tearing

Posted , 3 users are following.

i am truly at my whits end. i have been dealing with vulvodynia and vulvar vestibulitis for 9 months now. i also tear during sex and after bowel movements. im only 19 and this has never happened to me before. all my blood tests and swabs have been negative. i just have no idea what to do. my anus is covered in splits and my vaginal area tears if i attempt sex. the specialist i am seeing thinks this is an unknown allergy. i am thinking lichen sclerosus, however i have no white patches whatsover. anyone have any ideas?

    My skin was very fragile when i had vulvodynia and would split during sex - that was before my diagnosis. Of course, after i was diagnosed I stopped all sexual activity. What are you doing to cure the vulvodynia?

      did you have tearing around your back end as well? i have stopped using all soaps, water only, started using cotton underwear, and apply coco nut oil.

    i have never been tested for vulvodonia but i suffer with this same thing. bowel movements are soooo painful for me i sometimes cry. i also go off like once a week if im lucky and i know this is unhealthy. during sex i use lube and it helps with the tearing but sometimes i will still get a tear here and there, even when im just washing my vagina with water i tear at the slightest tug. can this be vulvodonia?
