tearing. Following intercourse my skin is irritated and burns. I have been having sex with the same man for over 5 years and this just started happening. After we have sex one night, if we try again the next night I feel like my skin just tears right open again. On top of that it seems like every time this happens I get a yeast infection, which I have never had until about 3 1/2 months ago also. The skin at my perineum feels dry like it has no elasticity. I also have trouble when I deficate. I am not constipated either. My anus tears open ( not a large tear but enough to have a little bleeding). We have changed no sexual habbits. We are both clean people. Also I am pregnant, but this is our 4th baby. This is an embarassing question, but serious, so please be serios too when answering. Has anyone had this happen or something similar happen?

As for the "dryness"; are you drinking a full 8oz of water a day? If so, you might need more. People might laugh at this, but not getting enough water can affect every part of your body.
As for the yeast infection, did you go get medication for it? It sounds like you are just passing it back and forth to each other. Talk to your doctor and ask if your partner should be on medication as well.
Another thing to consider is a bacterial infection. This isn't uncommon and it does NOT mean that you're dirty. Sometimes people get into the heat of the moment without thinking of hygiene. Dirty hands can pass all kinds of bacteria to the genital region. It might sound lame, but ask your partner to wash their hands before you begin sexual intercourse.

Yes....Your hormones have changed so you are dryer...Use a lubricant, but a water based one with sex ..try drinking a lot more water, and use a lubricant at the anus before you defacate....Hope this helps....It should turn around after the baby is born.....If not, talk to your OB, he will have good insight for you.....Also have you changed soaps, powders, type of underwear, has your husband. There may be an irritant and you just need to figure out what it is...
