I too have been having a similar problem. I have a chronic tear at the base of my vagina. My boyfriend's penis is quite large, and I didn't have this problem before, so I thought it might be him. Sex has been painful with him basically since we've been together (a little over a year) but I have only been bleeding for the past few months. We have tried taking breaks from intercourse so it will heal but to no avail. I don't use lube, but I am usually pretty wet before we begin. I guess maybe not enough? I find it especially bad when we have sex in the doggie-style position. We just had sex tonight and there was pain upon entry and I bled. On closer examination I notice that there is a tear about 1 cm in length at the bottom of my vagina - only it isn't a continuation of the vaginal slit - it's more like a little wound right underneath the opening. When I pull it apart, it widens almost like a little hole. I'd noticed this before, but it seems to be bigger now - almost like it hasn't healed, and is getting worse. I wonder if I should go to the doctor? From the posts here it seems as though there isn't much a doctor can do. I am on the birth control pill and have been for 10 years. I exercise and eat pretty well. I wonder too if perhaps the skin around my vagina is getting thinner and that's why it's susceptible to tears? I notice too that my anus often tears when I use the bathroom (I am not constipated). And I am also unable to have anal sex with my boyfriend because it has torn and bled the few times we've gently tried to put anything in. Anyway I haven't experienced any other symptoms: no discharge, itching or welling etc. Should I bother with a doctor?
