Pressure and aching in Vagina. Not pregnant.

Here is another question! I have posted many many times and maybe someone can link them together and give me a good guess! I have not had a menses in almost six months and I have taken HPT's and they are all negitive. Just recently I have had some odd pressure and cramping in my vagina. It is not so bad it makes me want to stay in bed all day. It is just a dull pain. It is almost like it is sore! My husband and I have not had sex in a couple of weeks because we have been truly drained with work and the baby! It is not that type (sex) sore. It hurts deep inside like on the bone. It feels almost like it did when I was thirty eight weeks pregnant. It is not that bad though! I KNOW I AM NOT PREGNANT! So I am pushing that option out of the way. Any advice anyone?

It is possible that you have a cystocele or rectocele. Since you've had a baby, your vaginal wall may have been weakened and your bladder (cystocele) or your rectum (rectocele) may be protruding through that week spot, kind of like a hernia. I saw an "Embarassing Ilnesses" episode on You Tube in which a woman who had two kids had both of these conditions and got surgery to repair them. It is also possible that your uterus is actually falling out (not very likely though). It's called uterine prolapse. It usually only happens to elderly women who have had a loss of muscle in that area and weakened ligaments. Do you do kegel exercises? I don't mean to scare you but it would definitely be a good idea to be seen by a doctor with the symptoms you've described. Is there a local free or sliding scale clinic you could visit? Planned Parenthood is usual income based and they are women's health experts.

I had ovarian cancer 5 years ago and didn't have ANY pain with it.  Just no period.  Had a complete hysterectomy.  Now I'm having the same pain everyone here is describing.  I have gas and bloating too, last week the pain was really bad.  I had a bowel movement the next day and the pain was gone.  (i have constipation problems too)  I also have back problems so I'm thinking mine is either related to my bowel problems (your intestines back up to your vaginal wall)  or it's from my spine like a pinched nerve.  I just got checked by my OB doc and I'm still cancer free, and my vaginal wall is not prolapsing (i was thinking thats what it was).  God Bless.

Me too. My pain is a pressure like I have contractions.  I think it is ovarian cancer.  I have cist.  Waiting *****.  My appointment is in 1 month.  My left ovary hurts A lot.  That one does not have a cist.  I had endometriosis 3 yeArs ago and had the scare tissue removed.  Now my back hurts.  I gave diahrera.  And gas. And my stomach is bloated.  I sometimes have fatigue. I use to get short of breath.  It could also be part depression.  I am going through a lot right now.  Sometimes the pain is so severe and fatigue etc. I stay in bed all day.

I have been having a lot of the same similar pain, I feel a pinching, pulling feeling also, like something is going to come out of my vagina, I have made an appointment to figure this out, definitely concerns me and my well being, in 2007, I had a laparoscopy surgery done where they found two cysts on both my right and left ovaries, and endometriosis, I've also had an abortion when I was 15, I am now 31 years old, and face a lot of girlie issues, I sometimes blame myself for my medical history, but I am glade I am not the only one with the same issues, I hope that whatever this pain is... That someone somewhere can give us some real answers to why we are getting these pains and how to cure it, and if its incurable, atleast some kind of medication to ease this unbearable pain. The pain only lasts so long for me as well, but when I do feel it and it hurts, I just want something to make it go away, I'm sure you all do, best of luck to you all... I will pray for all of us :)
