What to do if the vulva is torn during intercourse

Because intercourse can cause vulvar tearing, it is very harmful to women, for example, because of being too rough during intercourse. At this time, you must go to the hospital for a check-up in time to avoid this situation from causing harm to women's health, especially young men and women who are experiencing sex for the first time. This will be helpful in this regard. Of course, don't worry too much. The vagina's self-repair ability is still relatively strong. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What to do if the vulva is torn during intercourse

1. When you first try sex, stop when it’s just enough, don’t get too excited, and keep your movements as gentle as possible. If the hymen ruptures after the first sexual intercourse, a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur. If the bleeding is heavy and does not stop, other situations should be considered and you should go to the hospital for treatment.

2. The vagina has a strong ability to repair itself. If there is only mucosal damage without bleeding, no suturing is required. In mild cases, gauze can be used to compress and stop the bleeding. In severe cases, the key bleeding areas can be sutured. Experts say that after a vaginal laceration is sutured, sexual intercourse should be avoided within 2 months. If self-hemostasis is still ineffective, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Experts believe that for women in the perimenopausal period, it is necessary to prevent vaginal dryness and keep the vagina "moisturized". You can use lubricant during sexual intercourse. The vagina has a certain degree of lubrication, so vaginal laceration is less likely to occur.

4. In addition, diseases of the reproductive organs, such as vaginal deformity, vaginal inflammation, cancer tumors, etc., may cause vaginal lacerations during sexual intercourse. If you find abnormal vaginal bleeding, you should be alert and it is best to go to the hospital for examination.

Prevention of vaginal lacerations

1. Accurately estimate the size of the fetus, understand its fetal position, and be fully prepared before delivery.

2. Take the initiative to interact with the mother, tell her how to push during delivery, and cooperate with the midwife.

3. Master the perineal incision technique: Midline incision is not suitable for larger fetuses or women with unsatisfactory cooperation. The angle of the episiotomy should be controlled at 45° to the midline during suturing.

4. Carefully observe the labor process and improve the delivery technique: prepare for delivery according to the speed of labor, help dilate the perineum, control the time of delivery of the fetal head, assist the fetal head to complete the movement from flexion to extension to reduce the possibility of tearing. At the same time, improve the operational level of various midwifery techniques. One of the key points is to control the speed, and the other is to master the movement from flexion to extension when the fetal head is delivered.
