A member asked:

Is soreness in your vagina before your period a sign you're about to start your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Estrogen is very low right before your menstrual cycle, so it's possible that's the reason for the soreness. It's also possible that you have a yeast or bacterial infection. If it were me, i might have doctor check and make sure infection isn't the cause. Best wishes.
