Vaginal pain
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi. I feel desperate. I woke up in the night with pain in my vagina. I have been reading about vaginal atrophy? I question if it is this! I am 46 my last period was in February. I always feel like I have a bladder border line yeast infection. Can AV cause and aching pain? Please help? I'm terrified.

It's so hard not to worry. I had a pap with in the year and it was fine.

Hi aAgie,
I've read many posts on here from women suffering with pain from vaginal atrophy, but I would certainly check with your doctor just in case you have an infection.

Poor you, its grim, you need to find out what's going on. People will tell you all kinds of nonsense. Try to stay healthy and positive. atrophy is not a sudden, waking up in the night pain, you might have thrush, Bv, any kind of weird neuralgia. Get checked out at a Sexual health clinic.

I had the vaginal pain off and on from June to Oct off and on I also got it at night. I had all those smears , trabsvaginal ultra sound and biopsies in June and July and August so thought maybe it was from all that anyways it's NOV now and I havent had any in a while . BUT I do get that vaginal pain. My pain was from stiny pains to straight up knife staving pain to achy it went on all those months off and on. I am not sexually active so I have no ideal why I get those pains from time to time apparently some months are worse than others like some days more pain throughtout the day then others. So Angie you are not alone! I just am so amazed at all the pain and symptoms women have to go through. :-(

Hi,
I have stinging, burning and aching as well. I'm petrified. 10 months ago I told my doc I was having problems. With my period, I always felt like I had an infection, She said I was to young. I go again on Friday, I can't ignore this. I need help. I am so worried. It is a relief to hear others have had pain,

Hi Angie. VA seems to affect everyone in different ways. I started with the awful dryness and itching progressing to pain and burning. I ended up at the hospital where the consultant examined me and informed me I had VA. I was so bad at that point that when he examined me the nurse stood by as I was fainting with the pain. He put me on vagifem. That was about 5 years ago now. I'm 68. A combination of vagifem and the Yes lubricants have helped but I'm going to also try the Vit E pessaries as I still get pain with intercourse. Please go and see your doctor and don't be fobbed off. I can only think that if men were affected in the same way there would be more interest paid to it in the medical world. I hope you find relief very soon. Keep us posted. 😊

I also find this exhausting. I suspect from my body trying to fight it. I'm desperate. Friday can't come soon enough.
