soap caused cervical pain

[chrissylynn2587]

I had soaped up a rag early last week with a bar of dove moisturizing soap and about 2 days later started experiencing cervical pain. On a  scale of 1-10 I would say the pain is a 1 and if I take aspirin it goes away. It is not constant pain, it comes and goes, it seems to start at night and sometimes in the morning.I think it started Thursday

I had never used soap down there before and for some reason decided to and no this pain has started, could it be the soap that caused this? If it is will it just go away or do I need to buy something to get rid of it? I am due to get my period on the 14th

I do not have insurance nor is there a free clinic near me.

You probably had a reaction to the soap. I can't use bubble bath either. I get itchy and red. I say, switch soaps and you'll be fine.

I had put alot of soap on it and scrubbed down there so I am pretty sure soap got into there. The pain has seemed to have went away now. I have not had any pain since Monday morning

If you actually put the soapy rag up into your vagina, then yes the soap could easily be causing your pain, or the beginnings of a yeast infection.  The vagina has a very sensitive ph balance and soaps really do a number on that.  Even douching really isn't necessary as long as you bathe and shower regularly.  Since it hasn't gotten any better, you may want to check in with your doctor just to make sure that's all that's going on.

Sometimes scented soaps give me a yeast infection. I only use unscented.
