And you should definitely know what to do if you get a down-there injury.
Yeast infections , STDs , and ingrown hairs : Our lady parts are no strangers to unwanted, uncomfortable issues. And they’re not immune to injuries, either—we’re talking bumps, bruises, scrapes, and tears. Here, five ways you can hurt your hoo-ha (and what to do if you find yourself in a precarious situation):
When Jules Wainstein of Real Housewives of New York climbed through a window and wound up with a vaginal hematoma, we thought, a vaginal what ? It turns out a hematoma is just a bruise, says Fahimeh Sasan, doctor of osteopathic medicine, an assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. You might notice a bump, swelling, and black and blue—the result of blood collecting under the skin, she explains. But unless you’re straddling a windowsill a la Jules, such an injury is rare, since your lady parts are pretty well protected. “You’d really have to be doing something special to have this happen in everyday life,” says Sasan. A few real-life instances where it’s more common: intense mountain biking or childbirth , says Sasan. For the most part, though, the bruise will heal with a little bit of ice and time, she says.
Breaking the bones in your pelvic area (right up next to your reproductive system) is pretty rare; they account for just about 3 percent of all fractures , according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons . But, hey, stuff happens. In fact, the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma estimates that about 8 to 9 percent of blunt trauma incidents—falls and car or bicycle accidents—result in injuries to the pelvis. The good news? Most pelvis fractures are minor—and while they hurt like heck, they usually don’t require surgery. Regardless, if you’ve been in an accident or are worried about a break, get an X-ray to find out.
Most injuries below the belt are related to hair removal , says Sasan. And anyone who’s ever shaved or suffered through a bikini wax knows both can result in unintentional cuts. Ow. The main problem with nicks: They up your risk for issues like ingrown hairs, which can become inflamed and painful, says Sasan. Going bare below the belt could increase your chances of infection, too. One French study found a link between ladies who removed their down-there hair through waxing and shaving and Molluscum contagiosum , an infection that causes irritated bumps. Sound familiar? Give your skin a break by cutting back on your routine. And to rule out issues like genital herpes or warts, check in with your doc any time you notice a lesion or bump, says Sasan.
A bad Brazilian is any girl’s worst nightmare—and for good reason. Too-hot wax can lead to serious irritation and even burns. A good technician will know the ideal temp for your wax (and use a thermometer to gauge it), but if it feels too hot, it likely is. Most reputable places keep wax to a steady warm temp, but if you get scalded, ask for a cold compress, which can relieve the redness and pain while you wait for the wax to cool. Waxing yourself ? Make sure to test the temperature on your wrist first before applying anything to your bikini area.
If you’re too dry down there or had very rough sex , you could have a labia tear on your hands, says Sasan. How you can tell: If you bleed, feel uncomfortable peeing, and/or you're in pain down there after you get your freak on, that could signal a tear. While this is rare—often, your natural lubrication (and lube!) is enough to keep things flowing down there without a tear—it happens. Also, tears tend to be a little more common if you’re using a sex toy or if it’s your first time doing the deed, says Sasan. If you think you may have a tear, see your doc. Often the treatment plan is just to let the area heal on its own, but sometimes you may need to be stitched up, says Sasan.

OUCH! 5 Ways You Can Tear/Bruise/Cut/INJURE Your Vagina
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Sep 30, 2016
Vaginas do so much for us, but most of the time we don't really appreciate them. They give us pleasure and are instrumental in the miracle of life. But there are times when all we concern ourselves with is hair removal or smell.
We do things to our vaginas that we really shouldn't , like douching and washing it on the inside. We can get yeast infections, STDs , HPV , and of course, our periods. Some women may celebrate their periods (aside from when they don't want to be pregnant), but most of us don't, since menstruation can be painful and messy.
A lot of people use "vagina" as a catch-all term when referring to the vagina , but the outside, visible parts like the labia, clitoris, urethra , and vaginal opening are actually the vulva. The vagina, on the other hand , is the muscular passageway that connects the vulva to the cervix. Vaginas and vulvas come in all different shapes , sizes, and colors — there's no "one size fits all," and when aroused, the vagina can double in size.
Because we tend not to pay careful attention to our vaginas , they have a tendency to let us know when there's something wrong. If there's itching, irritation, bloody discharge (not related to your period), bad-smelling discharge, and any changes in smell, consistency or amount, that's your vagina telling you to get to the doctor and have it checked out.
How often do we skip our annual pelvic exam and pap smear ? Too often! But even though they're not fun and can be awkward and uncomfortable, they're a necessary part of having a healthy vagina.
We need to be mindful about our vaginas because they're not indestructible. And a recent article on Women's Health Magazine discussed the five ways you can hurt your vagina.
Remember when you were a teenager and you insisted on having a boy's ten-speed bike... and then you promptly fell off of it, making your vulva slam hard onto the straight bar on the bike? No? Maybe it was me, but believe me, landing on a steel horizontal bar with your lady parts hurts very badly and can bruise you.
If you get a vaginal hematoma, you might notice a bump, swelling and/or black and blue coloring of the affected area. You can also get these from childbirth.
Many below the belt injuries are related to hair removal, and anyone who's shaved or had a bikini wax knows they can result in unintentional cuts and nicks. These cuts can allow viral entry into your body , potentially increasing your risk for sexually transmitted infections. Be sure to get checked out by a doctor if you notice a lesion or a bump so you can rule out genital herpes or warts .
3. You can burn the hell out of yourself.
When you get a Brazilian or do it yourself, hot wax is involved. And if the wax is too hot, it can cause major irritation and even burns. No one wants a burned vulva or labia — it's painful just thinking about it.
Make sure that your waxing technician not only knows the exact right temperature, but also uses a thermometer to gauge it. If you're doing it yourself, test the temperature of the liquid wax on your wrist before you apply it to your sensitive bikini area.
If you're too dry down there and didn't use (or have) enough lubrication, you can rip your labia . It's easy enough to tell if you have a tear if you see blood coming from the area, feel uncomfortable peeing, and/or have pain after having sex . In addition, while tears aren't that common, you can get them a little more frequently if you're using a sex toy with too much force.
If you think you have a tear, go to the doctor. The good news is that often, the treatment plan is to just let the tear heal on its own, though there are times stitches may be needed.
5. You can break or fracture your pelvic bones.
Again, this is a fairly rare occurrence, but according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma , only about eight to nine percent of blunt trauma incidents — falls and car of bike accidents — result in injuries to the pelvis.
Luckily, most pelvis fractures are minor, and while they're painful, they usually don't require surgery. However, if you've been in an accident or are worried about a break, make sure to get an X-ray to find out for sure.
The best course of action is to take care of your lady parts because they can get injured just like any other part of the body. And you want your vagina to be healthy for your entire life.
