I am sooooooo happy to have found this forum via Google. I have been having the same issue for the 7 months. The bottom of my vagina, where the 2 lips meet, is constantly tearing right at the start of sex. It's a fairly deep cut, and is about 2cm long. Also, I know I have been dryer than normal lately. This stress of wondering and worrying has also not helped!!!

I have been with my fiance for almost 4 years, we have both been faithful to each other, and when this started, we both went to the STD clinic to get everything checked out, as there were some small white bumps here and there (but they really aren't bothersome) -- I was tested for herpes and warts and everything came back negative. I even went to a doctor for a second opinion and more tests -- everything is still negative. (no changes since when we first went for the initial "new relationship" STD tests over 3.5 yrs ago). My man also was negative for everything. They are sure my bumps are normal, kinda like a blocked pores.

I have to wait until OCTOBER to see an expert on all this, and, since I've been waiting since April I am really starting to lose my mind. This is taking such an incredible toll on my self esteem, I have literally no sex drive becuase it hurts sooo much. We're getting married in March and I'm really hoping that this will be resolved by then. Thank god my man is so patient with this! He just wants me to be ok.

For the burning/dry sensation i feel, i was using a Hydrocortisone cream -- after reading this forum, I am going to stop. Because, if its the cause of my thinning skin... I've also been on Marvelon for several years. Are Birth Control pills really a cause of vaginal tearing?
We use lubricant also, and it doesn't help. My mans "little man" isn't small, but its definately not super huge either. Also, this didn't happen for the first 3 years we were intimate with each other.

One thing that helps soothe the area is to take a warm bath with nothing in it but a handful of baking soda.

I guess what I needed was reassurance that I'm not the only person in the world with this... and I need to know... why is this happening in the first place????
