Hi. I Have A Question About A Problem I Am
Question: Hi. I have a question about a problem I am having with my boyfriend. We've been together almost 7 months and for almost that entire time when we have sex he gets lacerations under the tip of his penis and cuts around the shaft. He says there is also something in my vagina that scratches his shaft when we have sex. I don't have an IUD so I'm not sure what this is. We tried using lube which made the problem a bit better but it still occurs and is still problematic. Im not sure what it could be. I also experience some itching but nothing excruciating. I have also had about 3 uti's and symptoms like a uti since December.
Brief Answer:
Could be due to persistent fungal or bacterial infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The lacerations and cuts at the tip of the penis and shaft are likely to be due to a fungal or bacterial infection.
The urinary infection that you are having is also transmitted to you by your boyfriend. It is best to consult a dermatologist to get him examined, get a urine micro-analysis and culture sensitivity done and start with proper antibiotics to cure this problem.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Thank you for the information. I am going to get tested by my obgyn on Friday. Im still wondering what that piece of sharp tissue or flesh in my vagina could be? Is it just my anatomy or something else? Is it something I can get rid of?
Brief Answer:
Nothing sharp is likely to be there.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You are not likely to have anything sharp in the vagina. An infection makes the mucosa fragile and causes small tears on rubbing during sex which are painful.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
