Hi,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms,
vaginal fissure can be due to
1. Infection in vagina cause dryness and inflammation
2. Dryness – infection can cause dryness, improper foreplay can cause dry sex and cause injury, dehydration due to decreased water intake, age factor, hormonal imbalance
3. Forceful sex can cause injury and vaginal fissures
4. Foreign bodies due to sex toys can case infection and injury
5. vaginismus - anxiety during sex can lead to painful sex, injury, and fissures
6. Eczema
Cranberry juice is useful for urinary tract infection. For fissures, you can try vaginal moisturizers and rule out infection by starting appropriate antibiotics or antifungal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
