“How do I heal a sore vagina?”

In case there may be a mild yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis or other causes of pain such as bruised or damaged tissue, I would recommend you see an experienced gynecologist. That way, you can avoid spending time and money on the wrong therapies that might not even be necessary. Lidocaine gel has been used for temporary numbing of tissues after procedures, but I’m not sure you need a prescription for pain. Yeast infection could happen and that needs anti fungal cream, but over-the-counter meds are usually not adequate to relieve suffering or cover infections.
I hope you can get in to see a good doctor very soon. Take care.

Water based lubricants are very useful to prevent irritation of softer vaginal tissue. Also, if you are using toys...water based lubricants won't break down the plastic or silicone and some problems may arise by using oils.
