Vaginal Cuts
Vaginal cuts are wounds to the tissues of the vagina, which include the vagina or vulva. Childbirth frequently results in severe vaginal tears, sometimes known as lacerations, some of which may require stitching. However, smaller vaginal cuts, also known as micro-cuts, are quite common and typically mend on their own. Vaginal cuts frequently come from routine activities like intercourse and hair removal.
The fungus Candida albicans causes yeast infections. Typically, a vaginal yeast infection cannot be spread through sexual activity. However, sex can alter the vagina’s normal pH balance, encouraging yeast growth. Yeast is commonly present in the vagina of healthy females. Yeast overgrowth may occur if a person’s body chemistry changes. Genital sores resembling paper cuts may be one of the symptoms. Although over-the-counter medications can be used to treat yeast infections, it’s a good idea to visit a health specialist for proper treatment.
Even though minor vaginal wounds are mostly painless, they may cause discomfort for a day or two before they heal, especially when urinating and taking a bath or shower. If a cut or tear is deep, the bleeding won’t stop, or it does not heal with adequate self-care, it may need medical attention.
