Ladies Only Please

[BlueIris]

I tore myself like that yesterday, I was itchy and scratched when I shouldn't, and it's sore as all heck.

[Darksky]

Have you changed your washing powder lately? Not that it would cause bleeding but it would lead to irritation..

[Carnation]

It's really sore BlueIris.
Seems to ease if I stand but sitting just puts pressure on it. Trouble is it's so difficult to see that area unless you are a contortionist.
There's not much information on vaginal tears / soreness, unfortunately.

[Carnation]

Same washing powder for me.
I've thrown away the rough flannel. Honestly it was like a scourer. BlueIris, I only did it because I was itching as well, probably the heat in the night. I bled soon after.

[Darksky]

Ah, so you saw the blood after you’d scrubbed?

That may well explain it. Was the stinging after you’d scrubbed as well?

[Carnation]

More or less darksky. It was the pee that followed the scrub that the blood appeared with the stinging and burning. What a stupid thing to do. Wash your vagina with a more or less a scourer. What was I thinking?

[Carnation]

I bled for the next 4 pees, all within a couple of hours. Two of those pees were not wee (felt like it) but was just blood. Then it stopped and dry as bone since (a week) not even a pinprick of residue in my pants. Just this soreness and being tender if I sit or lie in a certain position.
The bumpy country road I drove on yesterday did me no favours.

[Darksky]

Back soon I’ve got to go and cook my mothers dinner.

[Darksky]

I certainly sounds like you’ve cut yourself. Maybe that’s why it was stinging when you went for a pee. Urine over a cut will certainly sting. Keep it clean and it should heal.
When I had my eldest I tore and the nurse said give it a good scrub I thought no chance, you sadist.

[Carnation]

No definitely no scrubbing darksky what was she thinking.
I'm not in any pain, just sore and uncomfortable. I must admit I didn't want to touch the area after the bleeding. I had a look in a mirror with a torch which was unbelievably awkward to say the least. But because I'm not in the habit of doing that I couldn't see anything that would indicate a problem. I feel ok generally and I'm still doing my daily tasks. It's just a niggle and a thought provoking situation.
Still got the bloated tummy, full of wind, but that might be anxiety.
Thanks for replying darksky x
How's your mum? And your foot?
