A member asked:

Feeling pain inside vagina before period starts, what causes this?

Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Low estrogen: Right before your period, your hormones drop to their lowest level (triggering the period), and so your vagina may feel dry and be more susceptible to irritation/pain. It'll pass as your menses finishes. If it remains a problem though, please see an MD.
