What could be the cause of vaginal pain?

The vagina is the female reproductive organ that is in direct contact with the outside world and is relatively fragile. Therefore, many female diseases are most likely to manifest in the vagina. The vagina may often have symptoms of itching, which are common symptoms caused by inflammation. But sometimes there is also pain in the vagina. What is the reason for this? Is it very serious? What should I do when encountering such a situation? Let’s take a look together.

Reason 1: Gynecological inflammation

For women like Ying who experience vaginal and vulvar discomfort after menopause, the cause may be related to vaginitis. The reason why women suffer from vaginitis after menopause is because of the decline in ovarian function, decreased estrogen levels, atrophy of the vaginal wall, thinning of the mucosa, decreased glycogen content in epithelial cells, increased pH in the vagina, and reduced local resistance, which makes it easy for pathogenic bacteria to invade and cause inflammation.

Recommendation: Under the guidance of a doctor, use medication to increase vaginal resistance and inhibit bacterial growth. There are many treatment drugs. You need to go to the local hospital to decide which specific drug to use and whether estrogen supplementation is necessary.

Reason 2: Urinary system diseases

In addition, the typical symptoms caused by upper ureteral obstruction are severe pain in one side of the waist and microscopic hematuria. The pain is usually colic in nature and radiates to the ipsilateral medial thigh, testicle, or labia. Renal colic is a sudden, severe pain that starts in the lower back and radiates down the ureter to the bladder. Sister Ying had suffered from multiple kidney and ureteral stones. After the lithotripsy, she felt that the swelling and pain in her vagina had improved, but now the symptoms have reappeared, so she should go to the urology department for further examination.

Reason 3: Mood

It should be noted that anxiety is one of the factors that affect pain perception. For people with chronic pain, anxiety may aggravate the pain, while relaxing and reducing anxiety can significantly reduce the pain. Therefore, it is also very important to keep yourself in a happy mood.

The above are some causes of vaginal pain, as well as some suggested solutions. If it is not serious, you can solve it yourself at home, which is even better. However, if it is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease and missing the good time for diagnosis and treatment. Also, you must maintain a good mood at ordinary times, as mood will also affect the overall state of the person.
