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

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

Accepted Answer

Itch period: Your complaint before your period suggestive to chech  fungal infection if you are pt of dm, bmi over 30 and sweet teeth for chocolate or sweets. If transient  probably can wait and any repeated episode should see doctor for advice.

Question 8

itchy vagina during period is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: An itchy vagina is not necessarily common during your period.  You may have an underlying yeast infection?  If still itchy, get gyn eval, best wishes.

Question 9

why does it feel like i can push air out of my vagina right before my period? is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Air: Some women actually can trap air in the vagina and when it is released on its own, thru sex or by your own control it makes a sound similar to passing gas.  In the urban dictionary this is called a queef.  Otherwise thru your cycle you may have more vaginal engorgement, which may feel different that before you ovulate.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Please see your gyn or your mother's gyn if u do not have a gyn yet as you may have a retroverted uterus or you may have other conditions like endometrioiss, your gyn will be able to tell what the problem is.
