Suggest Treatment For Tear In Labia Minora
I am 23, 125lbs. For 4 months I have had tearing in my labia minora during sex. I was recently prescribed estradiol vaginal cream to toughen up my vagina. 3 weeks later I just went to gently examine the area and it started bleeding again. My labia minor a is also a little puffy. I have been tested for STDs and alll were negative. I am at a loss of solutions.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Mucosal or skin damage during sex commonly occurs when there is no proper lubrication.
Wash the area with mild soap and keep the area clean and healthy. You can use moisturizer cream and soframycin cream. It will heal in about 3 to 5 days. Till then stay away from sex and use lubricant during the act from next time.
