Cut my labia

Causes

There are many reasons for numbness, but in most cases it occurs due to problems with the spine. Namely, osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral region. The situation is significantly aggravated if the spine is unstable or the woman has an intervertebral hernia.

In this case, numbness is often combined with such unpleasant symptoms as a weakened urge to urinate or defecate, and muscle atrophy in the lower half of the body. In this case, both one muscle and entire groups can atrophy.

In addition to this, there are many other reasons why the labia become numb. These can be listed:

• impaired glucose tolerance;
• pregnancy, postpartum period;
• Bladder irritation due to chronic stress;
• coxarthrosis;
• multiple sclerosis or some other severe diseases of the central nervous system;
• inflammatory damage to the uterus and/or appendages;
• severe cerebrovascular accidents;
• staying in an uncomfortable position for a long time, riding a horse or bicycle;
• pathologies of the large intestine;
• pathologies of the genitourinary organs;
• abdominal aortic aneurysm;
• poor circulation in the lower body;
• injuries to the legs, pelvic organs or spine;
• tumors in the spine, gastrointestinal tract or urinary tract (they can be either benign or malignant);
• sedentary lifestyle, bad habits, excessive consumption of fatty foods).

Possible causes of numbness of the labia

There are many pathologies of the female genital organs, they cause a lot of inconvenience. But recently, very often the female half of humanity has begun to complain that their labia majora are numb. This inconvenience is not accompanied by pain, but there is a feeling of discomfort. Many ladies often simply do not pay attention to such a problem, but as practice has shown, such symptoms can become harbingers of serious diseases. Therefore, it is better to consult a doctor even if numbness appears several times and then not for long.

Diagnostics

If a woman experiences numbness in her labia, she should not try to self-diagnose or self-medicate. The causes of this condition can be quite dangerous, so in this case it is better to trust a qualified specialist.

First of all, you need to contact a therapist, and after conducting a survey, he will refer the patient to a more specialized specialist. As a rule, see a gynecologist or neurologist. In rarer cases, consultation with other doctors may be necessary.

Based on the woman’s clinical picture, the specialist can prescribe a number of medical tests for her. Including these:

• clinical blood test;
• blood test for the amount of lipoproteins, triglycerides, glucose, and cholesterol;
• Analysis of urine;
• radiography of the spine;
• CT;
• MRI;
• electromyography;
• Ultrasound;
• duplex scanning;
• angiography.

Therapy

Treatment for numbness will directly depend on the causes of its occurrence. So, in order for an unpleasant symptom that arises as a result of being in an uncomfortable position to disappear, it is usually enough just to walk for a few minutes. Numbness during pregnancy and the postpartum period may be normal. It will disappear on its own after the body recovers.

If there is an intervertebral hernia, the patient is prescribed physical therapy, massage and anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, treatment can be performed surgically.

If the cause of the problem is an irritated bladder as a result of constant stress, the woman may be advised to take antidepressants, tranquilizers, sedatives and psychotherapy.

If glucose tolerance is impaired, the patient will be prescribed a special diet and medications that help lower blood sugar levels. Losing weight may also be helpful in this case.

Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary organs are traditionally eliminated with the help of antibiotics and drugs from the NSAID group.

If the cause is a circulatory disorder, doctors look for the organ that is malfunctioning and treat it.

Regardless of the causes of numbness, during treatment a woman should give up bad habits, take walks in the fresh air, eat healthy foods and vitamin-mineral complexes, and sleep enough hours. All this together will contribute to a faster recovery.

Consequences

Numbness itself does not cause harm to the body, which cannot be said about the diseases that provoked it.

They, in turn, can give the following complications:

• paresis;
• paralysis of the lower body;
• sexual coldness;
• dysfunction of the sphincter of the bladder and rectum;
• spontaneous termination of pregnancy;
• infertility.

It is worth noting that some time passes from the onset of numbness to the development of these complications, which means that they can be prevented if desired. To do this, you need to see a doctor and undergo a course of treatment. And the sooner this is done, the better.

In most cases, discomfort in the genital area is a signal of health problems. If you hope that the unpleasant sensations will go away over time, you can prolong the illness, which will certainly lead to dangerous complications, including cancer.

Chafing in an intimate place: treatment

Of course, if it’s rubbed in an intimate place, you need to take some measures to eliminate the discomfort. Self-medication is not recommended even if the woman is sure that she has rubbed her intimate area. It is better to consult a doctor in time - he will prescribe appropriate treatment.

• In such a situation, you can smear the labia with a hypoallergenic diaper cream for children.
• Lotions based on sea buckthorn oil are very helpful; it has soothing, wound-healing and regenerating properties. Preparing the lotions is as easy as shelling pears: you need to take gauze, folded three times, thoroughly soak it in oil and apply to the sore spot for half an hour. Repeat the procedure three times a day.
• You can use baby powder or talcum powder.

The most suitable treatment regimen at home: wash with chamomile decoction, then smear the labia with baby cream, sprinkle with talcum powder at night and, of course, wear high-quality, breathable underwear.

Candidiasis

A common disease caused by an opportunistic fungus.

Causes

Vaginal dysbiosis provokes the development of thrush. A decrease in the number of beneficial bacteria creates favorable conditions for the proliferation of Candida fungus.

The cause of vaginal dysbiosis can be:

• taking cytostatics;
• use of hormonal contraception;
• endocrine disorders;
• self-medication with antibiotics;
• frequent stress;
• constant use of antibacterial agents for perineal hygiene;
• wearing underwear made of fabrics that do not allow air to pass through;
• change in climatic conditions;
• pregnancy.

Vulvovaginitis

Inflammation of the vulva and vagina can spread to the labia.

Causes

Various factors can cause the disease:

• mechanical irritations;
• allergies to intimate hygiene products;
• helminthic infestations (pinworms);
• menopause;
• nervous tension or stress;
• hormonal abnormalities;
• long-term use of antibacterial agents;
• severe infections.

With vulvovaginitis, the labia minora often hurt. Large ones begin to hurt only with severe or advanced pathologies.

Symptoms

More often, ladies complain that the left labia hurts or a similar symptom appears on the right. But bilateral damage to the labia is also possible.

In addition to pain there appears:

• greenish vaginal discharge;
• itching and redness of the labia;
• discomfort when urinating.

Sexual intimacy increases the discomfort and women note that after sex the labia hurt more.

Treatment

The main therapy is aimed at eliminating the cause of vulvovaginitis:

• for helminthic infestations, anthelmintic drugs are prescribed;
• if the disease is provoked by stress, then sedatives and tranquilizers are prescribed;
• when the disease is provoked by mechanical irritations, it is recommended to select comfortable underwear from “breathable” fabrics;
• for allergic reactions, antihistamines are prescribed;
• If the cause is hormonal abnormalities, then the hormone levels are restored with the help of medications.

In rare cases, antibiotics or antifungal drugs are used.

To eliminate painful irritation on the labia, it is recommended to wash with chamomile infusion or a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

After eliminating the cause of vulvovaginitis, patients are prescribed a course of medications that help restore vaginal microflora.

Who will help

It is recommended to start the examination with a visit to the gynecologist. If necessary, the doctor will refer you for a consultation with an allergist, gynecologist or other specialists.

Bartholinitis

The Bartholi glands are located on both sides of the entrance to the vagina and when the gland becomes inflamed, a dense ball appears inside the labia minora.

Causes

The main function of the glands is to secrete vaginal lubrication. When the duct is blocked, inflammation occurs.

The reasons for the development of bartholinitis have not been fully identified. Doctors suggest that the appearance of the disease can be provoked by :

• urethritis;
• poor perineal hygiene;
• unprotected sex with an unfamiliar partner;
• STD;
• chronic infections;
• vulvovaginitis;
• wearing tight panties made of synthetic fabrics;
• violation of sterility during medical procedures (rare).

The likelihood of bartholinitis increases if a woman suffers from diabetes.

Symptoms

The disease begins with a blockage of the excretory duct, which causes secretions to accumulate inside the gland. First, the woman notes that pain on the ball on the labia appears after intimate contact.

As fluid accumulates, the lump increases in size, stretching the labia, and the tissue around the inflamed gland swells. The seal on the labia hurts constantly, women complain that it hurts to walk and sit.

In addition to pain, there may be:

• weakness;
• increased fatigue;
• fever (with severe inflammation, the temperature rises to high numbers).

When pressing on the swelling on the labia, the pain intensifies, and pus may appear from the gland duct.

Lack of treatment leads to the development of an abscess of the labia.

Treatment

To eliminate the inflammatory process in the Bartholi gland, it is used:

• antibiotic therapy;
• painkillers;
• warm sitz baths with Chlorhexidine or Miramistin;
• vitamin therapy.

After the acute inflammation subsides, physiotherapy is prescribed.

In case of abscesses or severe bartholinitis, surgical intervention is performed. The gland cavity is opened and cleared of purulent accumulations. In the postoperative period, a course of antibiotic therapy is carried out.

Who treats

If a lump appears on the labia, you need to visit an antenatal clinic.

Cracks on the labia in women

Cracks in the labia appear if the integrity of the mucous membrane in women is compromised. They are formed as a result of internal or external causes. The first include inflammatory processes in the body and diseases of the reproductive system.

In these situations, consultation with a doctor and comprehensive treatment are necessary. The second reasons include extraneous factors (for example: wearing tight underwear). The wounds disappear when the irritants are removed.

What are the internal reasons

1. The influence of medications - taking a number of medications leads to the formation of a crack between the labia or on them. Both the use of topical ointments and the oral use of tablets can cause this.
   These include hormonal medications, antibiotics, and pharmaceuticals for the treatment of viral infections. Some herbal preparations also provoke microtraumas (for example, daily lubrication of the intimate area with tea tree oils).

   After the woman stops taking the pills or replaces them with other medications, the cracks will go away.

2. Vaginal candidiasis - thrush is known to every woman.
   This disease causes the active growth of Candida fungi. They begin to multiply when the immune system is weakened. With thrush, women complain not only about painful cracks in the intimate area. The disease is characterized by severe itching of the genitals and burning sensation. Copious white discharge, the consistency of which resembles cottage cheese, pain during urination and sexual intercourse.
3. Hormonal disorders in the body - upon the onset of menopause, the skin and mucous membranes dry out significantly, as women have a reduced amount of estrogen in the blood.
   This provokes the formation of cracks. This group also includes diseases of the endocrine system. Thus, severe itching and cracks in the intimate area are caused by diabetes.
4. Sexually transmitted diseases – each sexually transmitted infection has its own symptoms.
   Often, in addition to discharge with an unpleasant odor and unbearable itching, women’s delicate mucous membranes are injured, microtraumas and cracks appear. If there is no therapy, the situation gets worse.
5. Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. It appears on different parts of the skin, often localized on the labia. Cracks in the mucosa are one of the signs of the disease.

If cracks appear in the intimate area, this is caused by helminthic infestation, lack of vitamins, allergies and other infectious diseases.

External reasons for the appearance

Foreign factors are safe for health. After identifying the main cause of irritation of the vaginal mucosa, its solution, the cracks go away on their own, without special treatment.

Third-party reasons include the following:

• Mechanical injuries to the labia - often serious injuries to the labia minora and vaginal mucosa appear after childbirth and abortion. Cracks may also appear as a result of harsh sexual contact, inaccurate depilation of the skin, or damage due to exposure to latex.
• Incorrect and untimely personal hygiene of the body - infrequent washing leads to the accumulation of discharge and urine residues between the labia in women. This causes bacteria to multiply, irritate delicate skin and lead to cracks.
• Wearing tight underwear made of synthetic materials - artificial fabrics impede the penetration of oxygen. As a result, the skin of the labia does not breathe, which causes microcracks to appear. A similar situation is sometimes observed with panty liners or tampons.
• Excessive use of cosmetics - constant use of intimate hygiene gels, creams and other scented products leads to dry skin. This invariably causes irritation and cracks on the labia.

What types of cracks are there?

There are two main types of pathology: chronic and acute cracks. The first ones appeared in women a long time ago, but there was no treatment, so the wounds became calloused. They cause pain even if you don't touch them.

Sharp cracks are microtraumas that have appeared recently. They cause discomfort when touched. Pathology indicates the onset of an inflammatory process in the body.

Drug treatment

If microtraumas appear, you should consult a gynecologist. The doctor will conduct an examination, collect a medical history and give directions for the necessary tests. Usually it is required to take a general blood and urine test, bacterial culture for vaginal microflora and tests for the presence of sexually transmitted infections. After receiving the results, the doctor will make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Therapy depends on the specific disease and what pathogens it is caused by. For viral infections, antiviral drugs are prescribed. Most sexually transmitted diseases are caused by bacteria. They are most sensitive to penicillin, cephalosporin and macrolide antibiotics.

If the cracks are caused by vaginal candidiasis or other fungal diseases, then it is advisable to take antifungal drugs.

Along with taking the main active medications, it is recommended to take probiotics, immunomodulators and vitamins.

During treatment, you should maintain sexual rest. The sexual partner of the sick woman should also be checked and undergo preventive treatment.

Home methods

You can relieve inflammation and cure cracks in the labia majora using folk methods. But they must be agreed with the attending physician.

Home methods cannot replace primary drug therapy. They should be considered as additional treatment.

1. The most common and effective remedy is considered to be calendula lotions. To prepare the solution, take a tablespoon of dry herb. Brew it with 70 milliliters of boiling water, then evaporate over low heat until half the broth remains in the saucepan. Then cool and strain. Make lotions from the resulting product once a day. The solution quickly heals small cracks.
2. Infusion of yarrow and dandelion. Take a teaspoon of yarrow and brew it with a glass of boiling water. Add a small spoonful of dried dandelion root. Take the product twice a day before meals.
3. It is recommended to treat the affected areas of the labia with a weak solution of Chlorhexidine. An antiseptic with 2% active substance content helps well.

Before using decoctions of medicinal herbs, you need to check whether you are allergic to them. If you have allergic reactions, then you should not use this product.

Genital herpes

Small blisters appear on the labia, which hurt when pressed or rubbed against clothing.

Causes

The disease is caused by the herpes virus. Infection occurs:

• during sexual intercourse;
• self-infection (due to poor personal hygiene, when herpetic rashes are on other parts of the body);
• when visiting public places (baths, swimming pools).

Self-infection is more common when the herpes virus enters the genitals from other parts of the patient’s body.

Symptoms

With herpetic rashes on the labia, the pain is insignificant. Typically, patients complain of burning and itching in the genital area.

When examining the perineum, small vesicular elements are visible. The skin at the site of the rash is swollen and red.

After a few days, the vesicular vesicles burst on their own, forming erosions.

In women, in addition to the labia, herpetic rashes appear in the vagina and on the cervix.

On average, it takes about 3 weeks from the moment the first blisters appear until the erosions heal. Then the external signs disappear, and the disease goes into a latent form with periodic exacerbations. Often relapses occur before menstruation or against the background of hypothermia.

Causes of calluses on the penis

The causes of penile rashes may be:

1. Venereal diseases. A common cause of such rashes is genital herpes. In this case, blisters may appear on the head and foreskin of the penis, in the groin area and along the inner thighs. As a rule, the appearance of calluses is preceded by the appearance of other symptoms: general malaise, sleep disturbance, chills and fever. The symptoms are similar to the flu, but the next day characteristic rashes appear on the male penis. At first, the blisters are not a problem, but over time they become itchy and burst. Later, the rash may go away, but this does not mean that the disease has been cured, the incubation period has simply passed, but over time the disease can make itself felt again. It is best to consult a doctor with such symptoms to prescribe effective treatment for genital herpes;
2. Due to mechanical impact. So, a callus may appear on the penis immediately after sex - this is an example of calluses that appear due to mechanical stress. In addition, such injury often occurs in young people who often engage in dry masturbation (without lubrication);
3. Balanoposthitis is inflammation of the head of the penis. Signs: calluses appear on the head of the penis, and are accompanied by pain, burning and redness. These are symptoms of the inflammatory process that may accompany balanoposthitis. The cause of the disease may be inflammation or gangrene. This disease needs to be treated, so seek help from a urologist;

   
   Allergic rash on the genitals

4. Allergy. Calluses on the penis can be a symptom of an allergy, which can be triggered by the following: lubricant, laundry detergent or condoms. In addition, new underwear or new toilet soap can become a source of allergies.

Medical examination and consultation

Treatment of such a disease occurs only after determining the causes of its occurrence, and only then can one begin to treat the penis affected by rashes.

Therefore, when an illness appears, it is necessary to consult with a specialist; only he can reliably recognize the cause of the disease and prescribe effective treatment.

Varicose veins

Varicose veins do not always develop on the legs. Pathological expansion of veins can appear on any organ.

Causes

Due to stagnation of blood in the pelvis, pathological expansion of the veins on the labia occurs. Provoke the development of the problem:

• physical inactivity;
• excess body weight;
• sedentary work;
• pregnancy.

Women with reduced venous tone are predisposed to developing the disease.

Symptoms

With varicose veins, the pain in the labia is moderate and aching in nature.

Due to impaired blood flow, the labia increase in size, and venous nodes protrude under the skin. The woman feels, in addition to pain, an unpleasant heaviness and dryness in the perineum.

With varicose veins, the labia hurt more severely during menstruation and during sex.

Treatment

It is impossible to cure varicose veins, so therapy is aimed at reducing the severity of the disease:

• Dieting. Refusal of fatty foods, pickles and smoked foods will improve the functioning of blood vessels.
• Increased activity. Running, brisk walking or swimming will help eliminate congestion.
• The use of venotonics. To reduce venous nodes, it is recommended to apply Troxevasin or Lyoton externally.
• Prevention of thrombosis. In case of increased blood viscosity, Heparin ointment is prescribed to prevent the formation of blood clots in the venous node.

For severe pain, analgesics are prescribed.

If the venous nodes are large, then sclerotherapy is performed. Patients are injected into a vein on the labia with a special agent, which causes the venous walls to lose their elasticity and collapse, not blocking the vascular lumen. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. After sclerotherapy, a woman experiences moderate pain in the labia for several days .

Who will help

Angiosurgeons treat varicose veins. In mild forms of the disease, it is allowed to be treated by a gynecologist.

What to do if you cut your labia?

• Reasons for the formation of wounds in intimate places
• Solution

When a woman cuts her labia, many questions arise: is it dangerous, and how to regenerate the damaged area. To tighten the skin on the half lip, you need to use certain ointments, gels, and creams. You should first familiarize yourself with all the nuances of the recovery period.

Solution

The therapeutic regimen is prescribed by a dermatologist after examining the patient. Skin pathologies are treated with medications and may recur. Before starting to fight them, it is important to follow preventive manipulations. These include the following aspects:

• following hygiene rules;
• use of high-quality cleaning products;
• refusal of aggressive types of sex;
• use of barrier contraception;
• nutrition optimization;
• taking vitamin complexes.

Basic treatment is aimed at eliminating the infection: taking antimicrobial and antibacterial drugs. Therapy is carried out with the additional use of local agents such as ointments, gels, bath solutions, suppositories.

Luracil suppositories, Levomekol and Betadine ointments are widely prescribed to restore the integrity of the labia. In the case of a complicated course of the pathological process, Ecmonovicillin and Penicillin are indicated.

Gardnellez

The disease is one of the types of vaginal dysbiosis.

Causes

The opportunistic bacterium Gardenella begins to multiply when the level of beneficial bacteria in the vagina decreases. Provokes the development of pathology :

• decreased immunity;
• abuse of douching;
• inflammation of the reproductive organs;
• hormonal changes provoked by endocrine diseases or menopause;
• promiscuity;
• refusal of lactic acid products.

Gardnellosis may also be caused by the use of vaginal spermicidal gels.

Symptoms

The labia are sore and swollen. Additionally appear :

• Copious vaginal discharge. The discharge looks like clear mucus with a characteristic onion or fishy odor. In severe forms of the disease, the mucus becomes greenish or grayish in color.
• Difficulty urinating. The symptom appears when the pathological process affects the urethra.

With advanced gardnellosis, the pain and swelling are so severe that it is difficult for a woman to walk and sit.

Treatment

Therapy is carried out with antibacterial drugs:

In severe cases of the disease, the drugs are prescribed orally and the external use of ointments, sprays and vaginal suppositories is additionally prescribed. For mild forms of the disease, drugs are used only externally.

Who will help

Treatment of gardnellosis is carried out by a gynecologist.

The labia do not always hurt due to a pathological process

Let's consider when pain in the labia is not considered dangerous:

• Pregnancy . After conception, blood flow to the reproductive organs increases. Because of this, the labia become slightly swollen, the skin becomes slightly darker, and minor pain may be experienced. There is no treatment for pain in the labia during pregnancy. To reduce discomfort, women are advised to choose comfortable, seamless underwear, stand or sit less, and walk daily.
• Postpartum period . If after childbirth you feel like there is pain between the labia and vagina, then this is normal. Sprains and micro-tears that occur during the birth of a baby take a long time to heal. To reduce the risk of infection or other complications, you must follow your doctor's recommendations.
• Allergy . Often, everyday use of scented pads causes an allergic reaction. Pain in the labia is moderate.

But even if it seems that the cause of pain in the labia is pregnancy or allergies, you should not neglect a visit to the gynecologist. Pregnancy often provokes varicose veins of the labia, and allergic reactions cause vulvovaginitis.

When is it necessary to visit a doctor?

If pain in the labia appeared once and soon disappeared, then there is no need to worry. The reason for consulting a doctor should be:

• One-sided pain . The labia majora may hurt due to varicose veins, bartholinitis or neoplasms.
• Hurts badly . When severe painful discomfort appears in the labia, this indicates a pathological process.
• Vaginal discharge . If, in addition to pain in the labia, the volume of vaginal mucus has increased or the discharge smells unpleasant, this indicates a bacterial or fungal infection.

If the labia are sore, this almost always indicates problems with women's health. You cannot self-medicate and take painkillers. Only a doctor can identify the cause and select the necessary medications. Timely seeking help will help avoid gynecological complications and preserve women's health.
