A member asked:

Why when i strain to stool my vagina hurt.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor...: This symptom might mean you have a vaginal or perineal inflammation or infection. Also, you might have developed a weakness of the wall that separates the vagina from the rectum called a rectocele which causes functional rectal outlet obstruction and a bulging of the rectum into the vagina.
