Sharp, knife-like pains in my vagina...what is it?

My vagina has been getting very excruciating pains (almost knife-like) for the past few days.

They occur in short bursts (approximately one minute at a time) every hour-and-a-half or so.

Any suggestions or ideas on what this could be?

Hi there even i have experienced the pain sometimes in vagina opening or sometimes in rectum..which goes just for few second. And thankfully i got the solution for it so i came to tel you people too abou it.ACTuaLLY THE PAIN IDS DUE TO GAS..when ever we eat something spicy or oily specially it is gas which moves around. ANOTHER CASE ME BE CORRECTION OF CHAIR ON WHICH YOU ARE SITTING.check the duration of the times you are sitting. Even try streching that wil have. And lastly dont forget to have a good medicine for anti gas..it only gas which pains and moves there.thn regards everyone. Have a good health :)

Hi there.  Well karma, not a good idea to put a penis into your vagina unprotected hon.  Doubtful that you are pregnant but that is just risky behavior.  

The pain you are experiencing is after the sexual encounter?  You are late for your period, this could be related to your period coming as well.

good luck

I have had these 'mystery stabbing pains' in the entrance to the vagina. Sitting up, or down, moving my legs while seated, sharp stabbing sensations. All I know is that I get relief from using a lubricant (KY warming gel currently). So, I suspect it's due to a lack of natural lubrication and wacky hormones. For those suffering from these sharp pains, try applying a lubricant inside the vaginal opening, and see if the gives you relief. KY warming gel adds a warming sensation that feels soothing, and results in fast pain relief, but any kind of lubricant will do. I believe I have a form of Vulvar vestibulitis or possibly essential vulvodynia (Google it, ladies!), and it comes and goes along with hormone levels. .
