If i was raped a while ago and i have a
tear and it may be caused from a knife,
how serious is the injury and how would it
be fixed? I have been bleeding since then
but its slowed down.

You need to seek a person who you feel
comfortable in discussing this with. You
could have a serious injury that may
result in infection if not treated.

Go to the doctor right away. Do you know
who raped you? Even though it may be
scary, reporting this to the police would
be best to protect both yourself if its
someone you know, and others who might
face the same situation from the person
who did this to you. I am sorry to hear
that this happened; what a tough situation
to deal with.
As for the tear, I would go to the
doctor/hospital asap to get it checked
out.

I would deff go the the Dr and get it
checked out. if it wasnt to long ago, you
might beable to get a rape test done, so
they can gather evidance that might help.
Also, from self experiance, I would sugest
finding someone you trust alot to talk to
about it, or even talk to a phsyciatrist ,
or counsler(sorry cant spell lol) things
like that tend to haunt you, talking about
it helps alot. Or if you want to talk, but
you dont want to tell anyone you know, you
can talk to me about it. Good luck, and
im so sorry you were in that possistion.

Yes you need to go to the doctor- if not
just because of the tear, but std's you
could've gotten (without symptoms) or a
whole bunch of other things.
