A member asked:

What could be the cause of really bad cramps even the prescription ibuprofen my obgyn prescribed doesn't work anymore.the pain is only in my vagina.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginismus: To start, see your gynecologist. Nsaids work well typically for uterine pain. But, if your pain is isolated to your vagina, you could have vaginal spasms or vaginismus. This sometimes requires physical therapy or other medical therapies besides ibuprofen.
