I have vaginal tears outside my vagina and I don’t know why they are there. I am 24 years old, had gonorrhea during pregnancy, and have been exclusively breastfeeding since giving birth in February 2022. I recently got my period back and had gray discharge before it. I have no vaginal discharge, itching, burning, or foul odor, and the tears sting when I urinate. What could be causing these tears and what can I do to treat them?

I'm 32 years old and my menstrual cycle is 5 days late, but my pregnancy blood test was negative. I'm not using any contraceptives or medications. What should I do, and how long should I wait before seeing an OB/GYN if my period doesn't start?
