Vaginal cut ?'s: Friction from active sexual encounters can produce a tear in the vaginal wall.  There are other causes which may feel like a "cut", for example, herpes lesions (ulcers). See your gyn for an exam to be certain of the cause.

Question 3

is there anyway i can heal after shave vaginal scrapes and cuts?  im trying neosporin but is there anything else?

Accepted Answer

Treatment of Cuts: Moist skin heals fastest because the task of healing a wound requires the activity of cels. Cells cannot function in a dry environment. They need moisture to do their repair work.
As the wound dries out, it begins to crust, forming a scab causing the cells to work harder to repair the injury. The key to healing a cut is maintaining the right amount of moisture. Keeping the cut covered.

Question 4

i have 2 1/2 long cuts at the bottom of my vaginal opening from vag dryness. would vaseline help them heal? moisturizers specifically for this area?

Accepted Answer

Dryness: Soothing lotions like vasoline lotion or any aloe containing lotion would be helpful. Avoid trauma to the vagina and intercourse so that these areas will heal faster. If vaginal itching precedes these cuts, use of occasional cortisone type ointment or cream may prevent them. Vaginal dryness at your age is unusual. Consult your gynecologist as needed..

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I know that you asked this question in order to get an assessment and to find out how to self treat your lacerations. There are many possible causes, especially if you have vaginal discharge. Do not know if you are sexually active. At this time, recommend that you see your gynecologist for an evaluation.  The type of discharge can be evaluated and the cause of this and the cuts can be treated.

Question 6

i have a vaginal yeast infection and i scratched now i have cuts is there anything i can use to heal the cuts that doesn't burn? like neosporin?

Accepted Answer

Yeast fissures: Yeast itself can result in superficial fissures ("cuts"), which can start with trauma from scratching. But the problem is the yeast itself, not an infection that would respond to neosporin or any other cream. Just continue your yeast treatment; they will heal quickly. But ask your doctor or clinic about alternate treatment if all yeast symptoms aren't clearing up after 5-6 days.

Vaginal lacerations: Depending on size and depth anywhere from one to three weeks.

Question 9

how long is it supposed to it take a cut in my vagina to heal?

Accepted Answer

Superfast healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Dressings and ointments are of no value there.  Avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course.

Question 10

i have a cut from anus to vagina. how do i heal it quickly?

Accepted Answer

You didn't say: How you got this "cut" and that makes all the difference in my answer. What you describe is similar to an episiotomy. If the cut is from trauma from an assault or if it is a superficial abrasion also can effect my answer. Whether the sphincter muscles have been torn or cut, whether there is an infection or std related contamination also affects my answer. Essentially, i need more info to even atte.
