What causes vaginal pain?

The vagina is a private part of women and should be protected. Vaginal hygiene is also very important. Vaginal pain is a symptom that is related to many reasons, and gynecological diseases cannot be ruled out. Vaginal pain in women may also be caused by urinary tract infection, which is something you need to understand.

1. There is not a single cause for vaginal stinging. It may be caused by vaginitis, cervicitis, vaginal tumors, cervical cancer, etc. Cervicitis (cervical erosion) can also cause stinging pain during sexual intercourse. You can go to the hospital for some vaginal pain-related examinations, such as gynecological examination or electronic colposcopy, to confirm the diagnosis.

2. It may be a urinary tract infection. A urine test can be done to confirm the diagnosis and then treat the vaginal pain.

3. The main site of primary gonococcal infection in women is the cervix. Gonorrhea can attach to the stratified squamous epithelium. Electron microscopy shows that the site of gonococcal infection is at the junction of the squamous-columnar epithelium of the cervix. Patients with gonorrheal cervicitis often have no symptoms in the early stages, so vaginal pain during the latent period is difficult to determine. The cervix is ​​congested and tender, with increased purulent secretions, often with itching and burning sensation in the vulva, and occasionally with lower abdominal pain and back pain.

4. Gonococcal vaginitis in women, manifested as inflammation of the vulva and vagina. There is a lot of purulent vaginal discharge, sometimes yellow-green discharge from the vagina and urethra, painful urination, vaginal stinging, and redness and swelling of the vulva. The discharge may flow into the anus and cause irritation. In severe cases, the rectum may be infected, causing gonococcal proctitis.

5. Females mainly transmit vaginal tingling through sexual intercourse, and non-sexual transmission accounts for a very small proportion, such as contact with unsterilized clothes, sheets, bathtubs, toilets and fingers containing gonorrhea secretions used by patients.
