What Does A Hanging Piece Of Skin From Vagina Indicate?

This is really embarrassing, but I have noticed after I have sex with my boyfriend, it burns when I pee, & upon inspection I have noticed a little piece of skin is hanging out of my pee hole. I think he somehow ripped my vagina & now I have this hanging skin, am I going to be ok? Do I need to go to a doctor to get it cut off, or will it grow back up? I noticed that it is getting closer to where it originally was, but I am still worried. What should I do?

Hi,

It is important to seek medical attention for any changes or symptoms you experience in your genital area. The hanging piece of skin you are describing could be a variety of things, such as a tear or injury from intercourse or an infection. It is possible that it could be a small piece of tissue from the urethra, the opening where urine comes out, or from the vaginal wall. It is also possible that it could be a skin tag or wart.

The burning sensation during urination that you are experiencing could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection, both of which require prompt medical attention. These conditions can cause further complications if left untreated.

It is important to refrain from sexual activity until you have had a medical evaluation and any underlying conditions have been treated. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers and drinking plenty of water to help ease discomfort.

A healthcare provider can examine the area and determine the best course of treatment. Treatment options could include medication for infections, topical creams or ointments, or surgical removal of the hanging piece of skin if necessary.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
