Vaginal discomfort

Posted , 6 users are following.

For the last two months I have had different vaginal discomfort. It kind of started just mostly feeling like I was way too aware that I had a vagina. Then it times I felt like I could feel air bubbles inside. I’ve had it she feelings. I’ve had burning feelings. I’m currently dealing with intense noticeable it she discomfort. I’ve also had differing levels of pelvic pain.

I went to my gynecologist and went through all kinds of testing. All of the STI testing came back negative. I had two different wet mount test both of which came back negative. I’ve had a vaginal ultrasound as well as a CT scan. The only thing that was found were a couple cyst on my left ovary. I realize that could account for some of my pelvic pain.

I have tried to explain as best I can to my gynecologist. He currently put me on a vaginal gel for BV. This makes me uncomfortable because it is a strong anabiotic and I do not believe I have BV. I have no discharge. I have no odor. In fact throughout all of this I would say that I have been very dry in the vaginal area.

I am 46. I’ve started to have irregular periods. I am assuming I am perimenopausal. I have Peri menopausal symptoms as well. Could this be a hormone issue?  My anxiety is high. My stress is high. I feel like I’m going crazy.

      How do I get my doc to take me seriously???  I’ve been with him for a long time. He’s well respected, but I feel I need my hotomone levels tested. I haven’t slept for two nights due to discomfort.
