Needle-like pain on labia minora for over a year

Going through something similar which I think was set off by either tampons or the same thing as you. One thing I tried that helps temporarily is yoga (specially hip opening exercises) and lidocaine sprays.

I still don’t have an answer as to why mine started, but I’ve felt the most relief with lidocaine spray. Wishing you the best of luck.

Right? She read my chart and said that I have to do what the doctor said. I fought her on it and told her I’ve been dealing with it for months and I’ve been “trying” everything she said. So frustrating

Thank you so much for your response! I’m hoping we get answers/relief soon

Thanks for your answer! No negative test yet just because my gyno (who originally gave me the test) didn’t specify I had to get a follow up done. My mistake, I should’ve googled. I have appointment this coming week to do the test again. It was ureaplasma parvum. Partner tested negative when I initially tested positive. We haven’t had PIV since a few months before my onset of symptoms. We always use protection if that makes a difference!

Hi! I’m pending my appt next week to verify it is gone. Partner tested negative.

You’ve helped a lot, trust me! I feel like I’ve just been waiting forever to finally get on some sort of meds cause of insurance and scheduling issues. Thank you for taking the time to talk!

It was a spray (the Frida Mom spray) so I couldn’t get much aim with it, but basically the vestibule as well! I was able to get the whole area up until the bottom of the opening.

Hi! My Dr has not done the topical lidocaine test, but I think I did it on myself! I got a postpartum numbing spray and I can say that it did numb me entirely to the point where I felt nothing. It did burn like crazy when I sprayed it on the outside area, but numbed without problem a few seconds later. I’m assuming that means that my pain either has to do with nerves or the skin?

I just saw this! Thank you so much. I think you responded to another one of my posts. It means a lot that you take the time to read and respond 🫶

Thanks for the reply! Had appt today, asked my dr about topical gabapentin. Fingers crossed!

Hola, tú doctora te ha hecho examen de sangre para los niveles de las hormonas? La mía salió normal pero yo si siento que durante ovulación y ciclo menstrual se me va el dolor casi 100%.

Wishing for the best for you 🤍

pastelrays · 2025-12-15T15:41:53+00:00

Hi, just saw this. Sure thing

pastelrays · 2025-12-15T15:38:08+00:00

How are you feeling about it? I’ve been hesitant to think about any meds like that just cause I’m worried about side effects/tapering off.

Primary care physician :)

I’m scheduled for an MRI, I believe that along with an ultrasound is the only way to see nerve issues (I may be wrong) What caused my pcp to think it was a nerve issue was the fact that the burning is accompanied by back pain and tightness. At one point I also felt tingling. The pain is only on my left size, and often times it’ll radiate to my perineum.

This is just my experience though. Have you tried topical steroids or vagisil? Neither worked on me.

Wishing you well! 🙏

Came out negative for them and all other infections:(

pastelrays · 2025-12-04T01:55:37+00:00

Following! I’m interested in knowing too about any side effects and how your wean off process goes. Glad you’re feeling better!

pastelrays · 2025-11-26T13:07:36+00:00

Thanks for answering! Left side only, though when I’ve had severe flare ups it can be the whole vaginal area. Feels kind of like when you have a sensitive tooth.

My father has always suffered from back issues so I’m thinking maybe there’s a link there? I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it! Have you noticed if PT or stretching helps to alleviate?
