fluttering in the vaginal area

[concerned08940]

Hi, i just came to your site for the first time and i read a story about a young lady that is having the same symptoms that i am having and i was so relieved because i thought that i was going crazy. I am looking for answers as to why i am experiencing fluttering in my vaginal area. It started about 8 months ago and has been ongoing every since on a regular basis. The best way for me to describe how it feels is that it feels like a butterfly is inside of my vagina. It even does it when i have my period. It feels like the inside of my vagina is lightly vibrating or something. I cant concentrate on anything, i cant focus and i cant sleep at all!! Its just that irritating and it is driving me crazy! I told my doctor about it and he did a pelvic exam, took cultures, urine sample, did a pap smear and the whole nine yards but everything is coming back normal so he cannot figure out what is wrong with me. It is scary because i dont know what is wrong either but i know what i am feeling. Can someone please help me before i lose my mind. thank you.

I'm having the same issue, it's been going on for sometime, but, today it's been going on all day.....very distracting!!  I am 58 years old and have had a total hysteractomy.  I'm so frustrated with this I don't know what to do.
I am glad I'm not the only one....as I thought I was. But, feel bad that there are so many of us with this issue and no one can figure out what is the cause or solution........GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

p.s.  If anyone finds out what's causing this, please post it.....THANK YOU!!!

I've started having the same thing 3 days ago, fluttering, vibrating or buzzing on left side of vulva. I'm scared I thought it was an std but been to the doc everything negative. Its scary and confusing.

Hi, I've had this fluttering, on and off, for the last 3 years.  I have MS but neuro doc says it's not MS.  Gyno dr. says it's not gynecological and Internist says he doesn't know.  I watched a medical mystery about a woman who had non-stop orgasms (not as much fun as it sounds I guess); her dr. discovered she had a cyst at the base of her spine.  Maybe our issue is somehow related?

About four days ago I started  twitching, fluttering, throbbing in my front clitorus area. I hate it it's not even close to an orgasm. I cannot control it, it is very hard to sleep at night and very hard to concentrate on anything else during the day. it's the most annoying irritating feeling. When I Google the symptoms it comes up with Vulvodynia. I'm wondering if it has to do with some type of damage or injury to that area. As embarrassing as this is I have a motorized massager that I used to masturbate that area and I'm wondering if I damaged it somehow that cause these symptoms

I don't suppose anyone ever found out what this is caused by? I just started having this symptom, its so strange. I am four weeks into radiation therapy for breast cancer and thought it may somehow be related? Does anyone have any updated info? Thanks.

P.S.  Sorry for any grammar errors.  It is 4 o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep.

I was online doing some research on this and came up with this from WebMD.  It is pretty interesting and goes along with what I was thinkingAmazingly, questions arise on the Women’s Health Board about vibrating sensations in the vagina or pelvic floor at least once a month. I have done MULTIPLE literature searches at the National Library of Medicine site, and other search engines – none of which have ever yielded a conclusive answer. My best GUESS is fasciculations – small nerve twitches which induce small muscle twitches. This would be analogous to twitches of the muscles of the eye lid.

Most of us have had these uncontrollable eye lid spasms (“blepharospasms”) at one time or another. The triggers for eye lid spasms are fatigue, caffeine use, stress. Some treatments are pressure applied near to the twitching muscle, or even Botox.

There is another name for involuntary sustained muscle contractions which can lead to abnormal movements. They are called focal dystonias. Most of the focal dystonias include the neck, eye lid, mouth/jawbone, even writer’s cramp. The start of such conditions can be after a trauma to the body part – or they can arise without apparent cause. There may be a genetic predisposition. The exact cause is not well understood, but the area can be injected with botox which causes the affected muscle to relax.

For more information on the more severe forms of focal dystonias, the Dystonia Society website offers a good overview.
