A member asked:

A small tear in the vagina from sex.(no std).been there for 2months already.what can i do for it to heal faster? (intercourse gets painful).

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abstain: The body has a tremendous ability to heal if we let it. The first & best way to handle an internal scratch or tear is to let the tissue rest. Any intercourse or sex toy use during healing can re-open any tissue and result is slowed or deficient healing. A gentle douche can rinse the site but pressure should be avoided.A full exam by a gynecologist may help direct your healing efforts.
