I am concerned. I dunno if it is associated to unprotected sex when I was with my now ex-bf or my tampons. I last had intercourse with my now ex over 2 weeks ago. A week ago I had my period and as usual I use tampons when my flow is heavy. I also do a lot of bike riding. After my period I noticed a pain at the area of skin between my anus and vagina when I would clean myself with toilet paper. It hurts and when I touch it, the painful part is like I dunno, puckered? It feels like something rubbed there irritated the skin a great deal. This past period instead of having diarrhea, I ended up constipated. And I noticed when feeling, that there is a bit of a soft spot at my anal muscle, like the muscle has torn, I can only describe it as a hernia I guess. I plan to go to the doctor asap, but just wanna know if this pain is due to a possible std or my tampon irritating the area. I looked and have not found any std that would cause this as a symptom.

You mentioned you had been constipated recently so my best guess is, if you tore that muscle it was probably because you strained too hard when you were constipated. I would just take an antiinflammatory and maybe apply some Vitamin A & D Ointment around that area for protection from further irritation from your clothes and toilet paper. The muscle should heal in time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will try to find ointment like that, but at the same time will still make an appointment with my doctor, I am late for my yearly exam.
