Question 1

pain in vagina opening before period is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Premenstrual and menstrual pain originates in the uterus due to prostaglandins, chemicals that are released in high concentration when the lining of the uterus breaks down. They cause significant uterine muscle contractions resulting in uterine ischemia (lack of oxygen to the uterine muscle) which results in cramps pain in the lower abdomen and lower mid back area. Vaginal pain would not be normal

Question 2

dry vagina  few days before period starts. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Well reported: Probably related to hormonal variations just prior to period but in your specific case the best way to deal with this is to see a gynecologist and be examined.  Although not certain you will get a specific reason identified, at least you will learn whether there are any abnormalities to be concerned about.  Good luck.

Question 3

is it normal to have soft vagina walls and tarnish discharge a week before period?

Accepted Answer

Examination: The consistency of the vaginal walls do not really change --meaning they don’t get oft or stiff. If you are having abnormal vaginal discharge then an obgyn evaluation is needed to determine the cause and treatment

Question 4

hi
my last period was end of january and im 44 years old and since missing my period im finding my vagina wet all the time is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

R/O PERIMENOPAUSE: See your doctor have full exam Pap smear /STD CULTURES  and labs. Especially FSH and LH levels. Then discuss treatment options.

Question 5

i am virgin,hymen intact. did hand stuff with bf but was cautious no semen near my vagina and no penetration happened.3 days before period i felt light cramps and had tinged red discharge,next morning had normal discharge. preg or period just coming?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy unlikely: If nobody put semen (has sperm in it) inside the vagina, pregnancy doesn't happen. A home urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result by 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), 1 week after missing a period, or 1 week after starting a "weird" period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 6

sharp stabbing pain deep in vagina. happens always right before period and stops after period starts. sometimes happens randomly on bc (for anemia). never been sexually active. ultrasound of uterus and ovaries normal. pelvic exam too painful to do?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic pain: Vaginismus (vaginal spasm)? Endometriosis (missed on ultrasound)? Mittelschmerz (ovulation pain)? Discuss with the doctor who you have apparently been seeing, who ordered the ultrasound. If uncertain or not confident in her advice, get a second opinion. It should be pretty easy to come up with a clear answer. Good luck!

Question 7

is  a normal for vagina to  be itching everytime my period is finish. im not sexually active?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are some changes in the levels of yeast in and around the vagina with the hormone changes of your period.  Try applying mineral oil to the outside when you have your period.

Question 8

feeling pain inside vagina before period starts, what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Low estrogen: Right before your period, your hormones drop to their lowest level (triggering the period), and so your vagina may feel dry and be more susceptible to irritation/pain. It'll pass as your menses finishes. If it remains a problem though, please see an MD.

Question 9

vagina itching before period goes away afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: The bacterial balance in the vagina changes at different times of the menstrual cycle. This means that a vaginal infection from yeast or overgrowth of bacteria (bacterial vaginosis) can sometimes be more bothersome than other times during the menstrual cycle. I suspect you either have a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. The best way to determine this is to be seen by a health professional.

Question 10

am not in my period, had 2 things that look like strings come out of my vagina? they were each about a inch long. what is this, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Might be normal: Mucous can sometimes appear like a long string with a texture similar to uncooked egg white.  Pieces of toilet paper can also get stuck in the vagina.  If there is any discharge with an unusually strong odor, it might be a good idea to check for an old tampon stuck inside.
