Tutorials Heal Vaginal Tears

Vaginal tears can cause you discomfort and pain. They may occur during sexual activity, because of tampons, due to an underlying condition, or during childbirth. Most vaginal tears are minor and can heal on their own, while tears from childbirth may require stitching. Many vaginal tears will heal on their own as long as you keep the area clean, avoid sex, and avoid irritating the tear. For deeper tears, go to the doctor and get stitches.
