Waking up and my vagina is hurting?
Hi,
Sometimes I wake up and my vagina is hurting. I don't know what it could be and it's hard to describe the pain. I am sexually active but it was happening before I started having sex. The part that hurts is my labia majora. It doesn't happen often but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and what it could be.

HI,
Hurting of the vagina can indicate dryness, infection, trauma, or can be nerve pain. It is necessary to look for associated factors like discharge or swelling of the labia or cyst formation. It would be best to consult a gynaecologist for an internal examination.

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this swelling can be due to friction rub or chafing. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness.
Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a doctor.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
