If you are getting frequent cuts and tears from normal sexual activity, regular daily practices or for no reason at all, there are several main areas to look into first.
Anytime your skin starts to break down, you have to look at the things that interrupt normal skin function. You look both from the outside and the inside.
To help your cuts heal faster, you can try a vulva and vagina-friendly cuts cream .
If you want to investigate your vaginal microbiome, get a comprehensive vaginal microbiome test at home, no doctor sign-off required. For interpretation, book in with My Vagina’s specialist practitioners.
Outside irritants or causes could include soaps, perfumes, douches, creams, underwear, laundry detergent, sex, tampons, and masturbating, that have broken down the outer, protective layer of skin.
Then, there are cuts and tears that result from a change inside our body causing symptoms. Something is interrupting the body functions responsible for keeping our skin strong, flexible, and robust, for example, a yeast infection, oestrogen deficiency or a nutrient deficiency.
A dry, easily-torn vagina or vulva may be the result of lower oestrogen levels that come with ageing (nearing, during or after menopause ), breastfeeding, oestrogen blocking drugs or low functioning ovaries.
Low oestrogen can result in thinning and poorly functioning vaginal tissue, known as atrophic vaginitis . Atrophic vaginitis leaves you open to easy tearing and cuts, along with irritation, dryness and itching, because the tissue is fragile. Weak tissue also results in poor wound healing.
Increasing vaginal oestrogen will usually solve the problem, but that requires usually a topical application which can be cream from your doctor or a specialised pessary, such as Fennelope .
If you are struggling with genitourinary symptoms of menopause (GSM), book in with our specialist practitioners for holistic advice.
Not incidentally, sexual activity, including masturbating, is a scientifically proven way to stay juicy with low oestrogen conditions.
Whole foods high in phyto-oestrogens can also be useful (100g tofu per day with 1 teaspoon of crushed linseeds may work for some people).
Yeast infections can be a risk factor particularly when antibiotics have been used, as first the yeast, then the antibiotics, disrupt the natural bacterial balance.
If you suspect you have an infection – you have unusual discharge, odour, pain, itching, sores or swelling – go and get tested. Treat the cause, and your cuts and tears will go away.
If you are not getting the results you are seeking, get a comprehensive microbiome test .
Latex may cause irritation to the vaginal walls with or without latex allergy , resulting in an irritated vagina and easier tearing by dried-out condoms. A dry condom is the enemy of good sex, so always use a good-quality water-based lubricant, and try latex-free condoms if you suspect you are having a reaction.
Contact dermatitis is common, and can be caused by many things, even if they say hypoallergenic – soaps, perfumes, cosmetics, spermicides, pessaries, condoms, and menstrual products. Not everything agrees with all bodies.
Additionally, some medicines can also cause contact dermatitis – benzocaine, hormone creams, corticosteroids, topical antifungals, and antibiotics. Ask your doctor about taking a break from your medicine or switching it up and see if it helps.
If you are suffering regular fissures that won’t go away, it might be useful to do a dietary analysis using an app such as Cronometer to make sure you are getting everything your body needs to heal wounds, and maintain tissue strength and flexibility, to defend against invaders.
Nutrients are a big topic that may need a professional’s eye on it, so visit a qualified and experienced nutritionist, dietician or naturopath to establish your nutritional status and look at some strategies for improvement.
One important wound-healing factor is zinc. Low zinc signs include white spots on your nails, lowered sense of taste and smell, getting sick often with colds and flu (poor immunity) and slow wound healing.
Other vitamins involved in skin healing are vitamin A (retinol), omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and calcium. You could also be low in protein, particularly if you are a vegan or vegetarian. You should be getting a fist-sized amount of protein at each meal.
The list of nutrients we need each day is long, so get good advice if you’re not sure.
LS is a type of autoimmune dermatitis affecting the vulva, which originally presents as an itchy vulva, and results in thickened vulvar tissue with cracks, fissures, tearing and bleeding. LS or LP may develop slowly, come and go, or worsen quickly in some women.
Lichenoid conditions can fuse the vulva among other serious impacts. LS is a cause of fissures. If you suspect you have something more going on and could be developing LS, check out our LS page and make an appointment with your doctor and holistic practitioner as soon as possible.
While genital psoriasis usually presents as red scaly skin, your vulva can dry out to the point where it causes fissuring and cracks. Check out the genital psoriasis page and see if your symptoms match.
If your cuts were a one-off, they will heal on their own and not return. When you’ve successfully treated the cause of your cuts, they should resolve and not return, but until then, they are likely to heal and then reappear.
Our naturopathic vulvar and vagina-friendly cuts cream supports healthy healing, but addressing the root cause is key. You may prefer a holistic practitioner to help guide you through this, such as a My Vagina vulvovaginal specialist practitioner or functional medicine doctor.
If you are suffering from ongoing tears that you are unable to successfully resolve, once you have been assessed and diagnosed by your doctor, you may prefer assessment and treatment from a natural medicine practitioner.
A naturopath will take a longer appointment to look at what you eat, your sexual practices, hormones, and any other elements that may be contributing to your vaginal fissures. You could have signs of hormonal imbalances, deficiencies in your diet, or other, more complex problems that could include your thyroid, adrenal glands, or intestines.
Treatments may therefore be many and varied, and range from diet changes to topical or oral herbal medicine.
Your doctor may try to speed up healing or prevent infection with antifungal creams or tablets, antivirals for herpes, oestrogen cream for low oestrogen, with topical steroids for dermatitis, psoriasis or lichenoid disorders.
You may be prescribed topical anaesthetic and antibiotic creams or gels.
Surgery may be an option if it is recurrent, called a perineoplasty. The torn skin is cut out completely and replaced by vaginal skin to cover the gap, then stitched up. It is not always successful, and only your physician can say if this is recommended or not, and why this option is preferred. Fistulas will require specific treatment, usually surgical.

Back in November I noticed a cut on my vagina. It did not resemble genital herpes, as I have had cold sores in the past. There was no initial bubble, no puss, no scabbing over once it healed. I figured it was a reaction to a new soap, or detergent.
After hours of research and freaking out, I decided to visit a doctor. I went to see a general practitioner on day 4 of the outbreak, she looked at it, and immediately said it didn't look like herpes. She took a culture anyways. It came back negative, but they said they weren't sure on the result because its past the recommended 2 days to have the test be accurate. They prescribed an antiviral, Valtrex, 500mg daily, which initially was for my cold sores, but hey, lets see if it helps with these cuts on my vagina.
I waited for another outbreak to try and get in within that time period.
Day 2 of the outbreak, a different doctor took a look. She said it didn't look like herpes, and didn't even think she could take a culture because there was no puss to gather. This doctor says the Valtrex should not be taken at such a high dosage. I should cut it back to 250mg a day, so it doesn't lose its potency over time.
Today, I have had about 8 of the same sores in the same spot. They all clear up within 5 to 8 days, I thought maybe it was a sore caused by a yeast infection.
I went back into the doctors, again a different doctor to have the yeast culture done.
She looked at it, I explained its habit, she said she thinks its genital herpes.
The yeast culture came back negative. She informed me to up my Valtrex back up to 500mg and that it does not lose potency over time.
I don't know what to do or who to trust anymore.
Do you get these same cuts? Have you had a different outcome? Do you know what they are? Is there such thing as a herpes specialist? Dermatologist?
THANK YOU for reading my VERY LONG description and thank you for any help you can provide!
i have almost the exact same symptoms as you. it began with extreme itching over my entire vulva/vagina. i really didnt think anything of it at first but went to the bathroom later and noticed tiny like "paper cuts" or cuts they werent painful or ulcerated at all. they just appeared. the following day i got my period. and thing seemed to settle down. i went to my doc about it and she said yeast infection. she didnt even look at it. i had some larger ones but they were mostly in my vulva. it took about two weeks to heal them all. they never scabbed over or anything. then i had it reappear again after my period in again this time it was in the inside of my vaginal opening. this one was extremely sore and hurt to rub on anything. went to the doc and they claimed tampon irritation and caused skin splitting. i tend to disagree. at this time i also noticed pain in my anus. i got fissures in there too but only after bowel movements and they heal very quickly. have you had unprotected sex recently?
Yes, I have had unprotected sex. My partner has had no signs of herpes.
My cut always appears in the same location which occur in the labia area . They are painful due to the lesion when I pee or whip after urinating.
I have had unprotected sex. Which maybe it's due to an irritant?
mine are also on the labia and more recently on the inside of my vaginal opening. it could be a irritant for sure. do you ever get any tingling prior to the sores?
I get cold sores, and I know the instant I am about to get one. However, I do not get any of the symptoms with the sores on my vagina.
I also should have mentioned in the original post, before all this happened, I had been suffering from chronic UTI's. I had them treated twice. I'm wondering if maybe the antibiotics have something to do with this?
i also suffer from chronic UTIS. unfortunately im not quite sure if that could be a reason or not for this
Have you ever taken a herpes IGG blood test? If it's a definitive diagnosis you are looking for, you could get that done? That means you don't have to wait around for another outbreak 😃
I have thought about that. However, I get cold sores and if the test shows up as HSV1, that won't give me an answer, because genital herpes can also be HSV1.
Aw yeah that is true. You could get a type specific IGG blood test therefore if it comes back positive for HSV1 - as it probably will given you get cold sores, you know it's just because of that. But it could tell you whether HSV2 is to blame. If it's neg for HSV2 you can almost me certain herpes is not to blame for your discomfort ad it's very very rare people get HSV1 orally and genitally, it's usually one or the other. Of course this is all your choice though, and I'm not a doctor.
Thanks for the advice! Doesn't hurt me to get the test done, just the wallet!
