Vaginal burning: What could it be?

Posted by mmoss @mmoss, Mar 30, 2021

I am a 67 year old who in the last two months have a severe burning sensation in my vaginal area. I have been to every specialist and no one knows why. I have had a CT, Ultra sound, and been examined numerous times. There are no findings to what is causing this pain. I have no underlying medical conditions. Prior to this I was extremely healthy. Now I am in pain management and desperately want to be off pain medication and find a Dr who can diagnose what is happening to cause this burning. Any suggestions would be extremely welcome.

If you have been checked for UTI and vaginitis and test negative, try some vitamin E cream. I am now 80 years old, and for years after menopause had severe vaginal burning and stinging. I was negative for UTI and vaginitis many times. I was given estradiol which burned then compounded estradiol which also burned. At this point, I apply vitamin E cream and at times use a boric acid vaginal capsule internally. This really has helped so much. I hope you try this and feel better.
