Q: how do i treat vaginal wall tear

Hi Shay,
From what you've described, it does sound like you may have a vaginal wall tear. Unless you were having very aggressive sex, it is probably not too severe. Whether or not you need to see a doctor will depend on the extent of the tear. Does it bleed even without intercourse? If it does, then the tear is probably extensive enough that you should be checked. If it's just a little spotting or only happens with penetration, then it is probably superficial and will heal on its own. First and foremost, no sex! I hope you have been using condoms because that will cut down on the chances of an infection, but no intercourse now with or without a condom. You need to let it heal completely. If the soreness doesn't go away soon even without sex, then you definitely need to see a doctor to check the extent of any tear and see if you have an infection.
Good luck,
Sandy

If there is any chance the bleeding is still from a tear, you need to see your primary doctor. Even if you're wondering if your period is part of it, it would be wiser to have it checked than to wait.
Good luck to you,

this is the second time this has happened. i was using kotex tampons and never had a problem, here lately if i use kotex it leads to problems so i switched to tampax pearl and no problems, well i ran out and grabbed to cheapest stuff and it was kotex. now, again i am in pain when i remove the tampon, sit, walk or anything. it sounds like a tear from maybe the absorbtion being to large. what can i do to stop the pain?

If your vagina is that vulnerable, I would recommend you stop using tampons and see your gynecologist for a prescription for vaginal estrogen. The estrogen will actually thicken (basically heal) the tissues.
Good luck,

I have a similar problem, but I don't get any pain. About a week before my period me and my boyfriend had sex and there was blood during sex but right after I stopped bleeding, I went and saw my doctor and she said that it probably has to do with my NuvaRing and that if I still bleed after my period then she would switch me to a different birth control.. It is still happening, and my doctor is out of town for the next couple weeks. I would like a second opinion.. I don't think it is a tear because I have no pain, but there is a lot of blood then just a little spotting.

I would definitely seek a 2nd opinion. You should not have any bleeding with intercourse and if the Nuvaring is causing that to happen you need it out. This is not an issue to wait out. There is probably a reasonably simple explanation but it needs to be investigated so it does not become complicated.
Good luck to you,
