Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pain in the vagina can occur due to several causes like excessive dryness in menopause irritating underneath nerve fibres to presence of certain lesions inside vagina or cervix.
In the meantime, you can take analgesic medication to get relief from pain.
It needs to be evaluated by per vaginal and per speculum examination during consultation with Gynecologist.
Based on the examination findings you may require few investigations like ultrasound scan for confirmation of diagnosis.
Kindly consult Gynecologist promptly for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
Best wishes.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
