What Causes Pain In Vagina?

I am experiencing sharp shooting pains down through my vagina. It started earlier today but becoming more frequent and painful. I have an IUD that should have come out years ago- I am 51 years old-but am concerned because I also had unprotected sex a week ago with someone I do not know well. My email is YYYY@YYYY I have no insurance or money.

Hi,
I understand your query.
The pain you have may be due to simple cause as - constipation/ gasses Relieved by carminative mixture, purgation./ bladder pain / RetainedIUD
* The IUD you have in for a long time, not removed on scheduled time, is likely to be-
- expelled out causing pain.
-cause irritation/inflamaton/ infection of uterine lining/ PID
Both of the things instigated by the sex.
* The unprotected sex might have transferred infection , to cause the problem,
* The psychological stress of possebility of conception. may lead to the pain.
- The answer to your problem is
To get examined & investigated by a gynecologist & get specific treatment.
