Vaginal burning: What could it be?

@health77 what was the problem if I may ask?

Do you have itching with the burning sensation also? A feeling of “cuts?” If so, ask your gynecologist if it’s Lichen Sclerosus (aka LS). A biopsy of the area can confirm.
I truly hope you find an answer soon. Best of health to you.

Very late to this post, just found these support groups. Women complaining of pain and being pushed aside is far too common. Throw in a vagina and beyond baby-making years? There is so little research on women in general when it comes to medicine. I'm waiting for the day that a doctor slaps me out of my "hysteria", as they did in the old days. I have chronic back pain. Burning in the vaginal area, for me, I've deduced comes when I pee and I'm especially dry. What can I do about it? Nothing I've discovered.

Have your doctor check for Paget's disease and get yourself a Bidet. It helps with urine burning

I have had this for years since having a urostomy 18 years ago. I’ve tried every medication known to man for nerve pain, pain meds strong as morphine or opana, nerve blocks in vagina and pelvic floor, in the scars etc… Recently, was prescribed Atarax, and it is helping at night some along with ice. It does dull it some. My nerve pain is now progressing into my hip and down one leg into my foot. I’ve been told absolutely nothing really helps this type of pain. It’s awful. I know exactly what you are dealing with.

@patriciaconner513— I had the same symptoms off and on for a decade. Finally my urologist suggested Estrogen cream (Estrodiol) and it worked wonders and stopped the problem. The secret is not to use the amount specified on the package, as that is too much (at least for me) and caused a burning sensation. My doctor suggested a pea-sized dollop every other day to start with, and lo and behold, that worked. It helped with a number of issues like the extreme dryness, burning, incontinence, and the studies I read said there is no association with breast cancer since such a low amount is absorbed. Now I use it as needed.

@maymore They have me on .2 grams now every other night but, it burns me too. Had to stop for a bit. So far not helping but, he did tell me it would take six months if it was going to help.

@patriciaconner513 not sure how much that is but the pea size dollop worked wonders. And she said not to use the applicator but your finger. When the burning was bad at night I would freeze water in a small nutritional drink bottle and wrap it in a small towel for between my legs. That was wonderful. I haven’t had a flareup in years since following that protocol.

@maymore Thank you. I will try using less. So far it’s not helping but, I’m going to continue. I use perineal ice packs but, they thaw out very quickly. I’ll try your method. Thank you.

Hi,
For some reason we women often have problems in our vaginal areas. I know I do. I put an antibiotic cream in the area that is itchy or burning etc. It seems to help a lot. It goes away but eventually may come back so I apply the cream again. Also drinking a lot of water helps too.
