hi folks!
This is my first ever posting in a forum of any sort!!
I have been reading up on the vaginal tearing myself as I am experiencing those same symptoms myself.
from my research it seems the reasons for vaginal tearing could be the following:
1. yeast infec. (these are usually severe)
2. tampons (my gyn says, if one uses tampons of higher absorbancy than reqd..then it might lead to tearing/discomfort)
3. thongs..nylons...xtra small (i.e wrong size) ..
4. OB tampons: these particular tampons have a tendency to cause extra stretching...leading to tearing.. Unfortunately for me this the brand that has suited me the most and I have to give it up as this seems to be the cause of my problem
I am sure there are more reasons that could cause viginal tearing..like diet, vit deficiency..
my question: how do i get over the symptoms?
I have stopped using OB tamps, I do take frequent vit tablets (not regular tho).
It is extremely painful to have sex...esp when i have to pee right after..almost unbearable. i use lubrication (baby oil, KY liq)..while having sex and inbetween to prevent dryness that wod lead to tearing.
Any help is highly appreciated!
