Vaginal burning

Posted by mmoss @mmoss, Mar 30, 2021

Is it possible to have neuropathy in the vagina? I am a 67 year old female with no underlying health concerns. I have burning in my vagina and have been to Ob/gyn and urologist. I have had CT, Ulta sound and no unusual findings. I am so uncomfortable. Any help would be most appreciated.

I have those issues as well. I make vaginal suppositories using a candy mold, coconut oil, boric acid, and tea tree oil. The coconut oil is highly soothing and moisturizing, boric acid balances the vaginal flora and fights yeast, and tea tree balances the vaginal flora and kills bacteria. The relief is instant, and it is safe enough to use daily.

1/2 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
1 Tablespoon boric acid powder
15 drops pure tea tree oil

Melt the coconut oil by placing the jar in a bowl or pot of hot water. If you live in a hot place, it’s probably already liquid.

Add tea tree and boric acid to the melted coconut oil and mix well.

Pour your mixture into a silicon candy mold – but you can also use a little tin-foil boat if you don't have a candy mold, except you can slice them up once they are cooled, as the pessaries will be solid. Put the mold into the fridge to harden.

You can use it up to four times per day, keeping in mind that the bigger the piece you insert, the bigger the mess when it all melts inside your vagina. Using a panty liner can solve this. I use mine at night immediately before getting in bed.

Thank you, this makes sense, but it is so messy. My doctor want me to avoid panty liners and instructs me not to wear underwear to bed. I am annoyed at the greasy stains some of these ointments cause on my clothes. Any advice to avoid that? Probably not, but relief comes with a price, I suppose.

Yes you can get neuropathy in the vaginia. Any where that there is nerves in your body. It has moved into my heart.

Does your neuropathy in the vaginia (assuming you have that) flare when you are having a "regular" neuropathy flare? In other words, could a normal neuropathy flare also trigger itching and burning in the vaginia? I am thinking the answer is yes, but wanted to ask.

Is avoiding panty liners and not wearing underwear to bed helping? If so, I would do that. If not, try something else.

For the process I suggested, you would only need to wear them at night. I wear panty liners 24/7 because I have a neurogenic bladder with tiny amounts of urine leakage. I don't have yeast infections, irritation to my labia, or any of the things they can cause. Here are two options for cotton breathable panty liners. I hope you figure things out! It takes a lot of experimenting.

Yes, it burns and itches. Sometimes, it’s the labia and other times up inside me. It just wants to make me itch. Not a very good place to get itchy or tingling. I haven’t found anything for it. I test positive for ovarian cancer but when I had my total hysterectomy I was negative. I use compounded estrogen, testosterone cream and the progesterone is a compounded. Pill 250 mgs ER(extended release).
If I find anything I will let you know know.

I’m still wearing liners. My doctor didn’t tell me. Slwwpinng with no underwear drives me crazy. Plus I wear loose fitting shorts two sizes two big. The neuropathy has moved into my bladder and sometimes if I don’t have a liner I get wet. Plus I get sweaty between my legs.
