Is it possible for your vagina to tear right into your anus, so that the two openings become one? This is very embarrassing, but I need to know. Thanks.

Hi larkspur83, welcome to the sexual health board!

Is it possible? I suppose it might be in a vaginal birth that goes terribly wrong. If the Ob/Gyn thinks there is the possibility of tearing s/he should perform a surgical procedure called an episiotomy, which is the enlargement of the vaginal opening by an incision into the perineum, to prevent tearing during childbirth. Or decide on a C-section for delivery.

Or a woman might be seriously injured in that way during extremely rough sex when penetrated with something other than a male penis. You do NOT want to go there! Does this help?

Hugs,
