Im on my period and my vagina seems very sore ?

How: Sore in what way? Sometimes vagina sore because of yeast or bacterial infection. Other times increased venous congestion can cause around time of premenstrusl period and actual period. Dryness can also feel sore. You can rephrase question include what makes it worse/better. Any other associations.
