Perineal Laceration

Health Q&A
Skin cracks

I would like to seek your guidance regarding a recurring issue I have been experiencing. After intercourse, I frequently develop small cuts just below the posterior fourchette. These cuts resemble paper cuts—sometimes appearing as a single line and at other times as multiple (up to three) lines. They are often accompanied by a stinging sensation and can be quite painful, especially during intercourse, urination, or when water comes into contact with the area. I would like to understand the possible reasons for this. Could this be related to pubic hair or friction? Would it be advisable for me and/or my partner to shave completely? Also, should I consult an obstetrician-gynecologist for further evaluation? Thank you for your time and assistance.
