What is the cause of vulvar pain?

Many female friends have experienced vulvar swelling and pain. The reason for this phenomenon is mostly due to relaxation of the pelvic sphincter, gynecological inflammation, urinary system inflammation, or excessive oxalate concentration in the body.

1. Pelvic sphincter relaxation

This condition can cause uterine prolapse, causing women to feel a sense of heaviness in their lower abdomen and increased pain during sexual intercourse. Women who conceive too early, marry and have children too early, or have too many children are at greater risk of uterine prolapse. Long-term increased abdominal pressure, such as coughing and dry stools, can also cause uterine prolapse.

2. Gynecological inflammation

After menopause, women's ovarian function declines, estrogen levels decrease, vaginal wall atrophy, and increased pH in the vagina make it easy for pathogenic bacteria to invade and cause gynecological inflammation. In addition, vulvar or vaginal tumors, gynecological surgery or wounds caused by childbirth can also cause vulvar pain and vaginal discomfort.

3. Urinary tract inflammation

Blockage of the upper ureter can cause severe pain in one side of the waist and microscopic hematuria. The pain is mostly colic and radiates along the ureter to the inner thigh or labia of the same side.

4. Excessive oxalate concentration in the body

Some women's bodies metabolize oxalic acid in food poorly, causing it to be deposited during urination. Once it reaches a certain concentration, it irritates the vulvar skin and causes genital pain. This condition is more common in women with turbid urine.
