Sharp Pains In Vaginal Area, Lower Back Pain Causing Difficulty In Walking
Hi. I was just have a question for you. In the last couple of weeks, I have been getting sharp pains in my vaginal area that last a few seconds. Last night the sharp pains have been lasting up to ten seconds (knifelike shooting pains), accompanied by slight lower back pain that tends to get worse at certain points in time. I have not noticed any patterns at this point in time, however the pain can be extremely excruciating at times, to the point where I can t even walk. What could this be?

Your complaints looks like RENAL COLIC due to Renal stones, characterised by sharp pain in loin radiating to genital region. Kindly visit a nephrologist or get an ultrasound abdomen to ruleout renal or urinary stones.It may also be due to any reproductive tract infection which is very common in girls.Visit a gynaecologist for reproductive tract infection

Hello
There can be some reasons for such pain such as bartolinitis (you should examine yourself - vulvar lips, its inside place), it also can be salpingitis. Measure your temperature. You have to be examined by ultrasound as well. On the other hand it could be a symptom of endometriosis if it happened not far before or after menstruation. Some pains caused by intestinal problems can also irradiate to vagina. Please go to your doctor to be examined (pap smear, colpo- and vaginoscopy, etc.)
Wish you Good Health
