A member asked:

Is pain around the vaginal area one of the symptoms of cystitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Martin Raff answered

May be: Yes there may be pain. The urethra (the tube carrying urine from the bladder outside) exits just above the vaginal entry and it is easy to confuse the pain in the urethra for vaginal pain.
