Could persistent vaginal pain be related to vulvodynia?

Question

Hello doctor,

Since my last menstrual cycle, I have been experiencing pain in a specific point inside my vagina, as if something is touching it from within. Despite examinations by my gynecologist, no issues were found except for a small, painless pea-sized cyst discovered during a visit to replace my multiload with Copper T. However, this pain started two months after the Copper T was installed.

Upon my gynecologist's request, I underwent a pelvic examination and sonography of the lower abdomen and pelvic area, both of which revealed everything to be normal. Recently, I consulted my general physician, who prescribed Chymoflam and CFuro 500. While these medications provide some relief while they are effective, the pain returns once their effects wear off. I have tried researching on my own and came across something called vulvodynia, but I am unsure.

If needed, I can attach my reports for your review. I urgently request your guidance on this matter.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

These symptoms do not suggest vulvodynia, as they present differently. I suggest you undergo a urine culture and sensitivity test, along with a vaginal swab test. In the meantime, you can try using vaginal pessaries for local relief. Also, try to divert your mind to other activities to differentiate it from pseudo-pain.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The report indicates no growth of specific pathogens, but bacteria are present in the urine. I would suggest some medications for this.

You can take the following medications:

Tablet Nitrofurantoin 100 mg twice a day for five days.
Tablet Flavoxate 200 mg twice a day for five days.
Syrup Citralka (disodium hydrogen citrate) three times a day for three days.

Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications as per their advice.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Different medicines have different doses. You cannot compare by 100/500/1000 milligrams. Some drugs can have high effect in 50 milligrams so take these medicines for five days.Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

I prescribed you those medicines for five days. Have you completed five days or only one day? You can complete 10 days if you have it completed even five days dosage. Then we will go for some tests if it would not give better results after 10 days.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
