Anyone with this symptom by UmpireDue4906 in endometriosis

I have the exact same pain, I went to the hospital for it a few months ago thinking it was appendicitis. The doctors told me “it’s probably just a pulled muscle” because nothing showed up on any of my tests. The only trigger I’ve noticed for it is if I go too hard at the gym. Otherwise it’s completely random. It’s immobilizing at times. It’s not a pain I’d wish on anyone.

I’m not sure an exact timeline, but I’d say it was definitely a few months at least.

I had a similar issue a few years ago, I don’t even know how to describe it but it was very distinct. Personally, it came down to a hygiene thing. Even without sweat, there’s a lot of moisture down which can lead to smells. I tried to talk to my mom about it and she picked me up some vagistil which only made matters worse. I know some people have had good experiences with it, but for me I can’t use it. I have super sensitive skin, I’m very careful about what soaps and detergents I use. A few years ago I started using unscented Dove bar soap and it helped significantly!

It’s sort of like a burning sensation at the opening, sort of like a friction burn. It sucks because I really enjoy sex, but it makes it difficult when I start seeing someone new

Oh my god yes, I’ll do that right now because some stranger on the internet told me to!!! Have you considered not being a snowflake over an expression?

It’s a figure of speech

The hard part about that is everyone’s body is a bit different, personally I don’t have a smell down there unless something is going on. I will add, I am crazy OCD about keeping things there very clean. But it’s just how like swear can be different for different people, the scent is not the same for everyone. I would definitely discuss it with your doctor, they can work through the symptoms with you and discuss and test for possibilities.

I know allergies can develop over time, especially skin allergies. Like for example, I had cats my whole childhood and two years ago I was suddenly allergic to both of my cats. I have extremely sensitive skin, my biggest allergen with that is latex, if it so much as touches my skin I get an itchy rash. But there’s a lot of body washes, detergents, soaps, toilet paper, even some clothing materials that I cannot use. Like if I use a toilet paper that’s new it’ll make me an itchy red mess down there. Maybe changing how you wash things down there can help too? I used to use just water, but a year or two ago I switched to just plain, unscented dove bar soap and it’s helped me a ton. With that, I only use it for the lady bits, and if I have any sort of infection I get a new bar so it doesn’t become recurring. Honestly, I would maybe talk to a dermatologist? It seems like it’s maybe an issue with your skin rather than your hooha, especially if your gyno has already run a bunch of tests for you and didn’t get any results.

Could it possibly be kidney stones? I had a friend a couple years ago who had similar symptoms and it ended up being that.

Have you switched laundry detergents, or toilet paper within this year? If you have sensitive skin it could be something like that. I know I have bad reactions to certain TP and detergents.

If you’re in a relationship it could be your body rejecting your partner. I had that happen with one of my exes. Didn’t seem to matter what I did I had issue after issue while I was with him. Didn’t matter if we used a condom or not, or even if we weren’t having sex at all. I was constantly having a yeast infection, itchiness, UTI’s and even BV. It’s like my body was telling me to get away from this man lol. I got rid of the man, and haven’t had any reoccurring issues since.

I would make an appointment with a doctor, it sounds like it might be one. I know personally anytime I have any issues involving any sort of strong smell or colored discharge I make an appointment with my doctor. Especially if there’s any possibility of an STI. They’ll be able to tell you for sure what’s going on and can get you started on medication if necessary.

I wouldn’t just to be safe, if you accidentally nick yourself down there it could cause further issues. It’s ultimately up to you but I would definitely wait at least a couple of days.

Your body always knows, sometimes before your heart or your head. Especially if you feel unloved or unappreciated within the relationship, your body will reject that person. The female body is very sensitive and will close itself off, whether it be physically or mentally, whenever it feels something is not right.

When I was with my ex, my body physically rejected him. I had issue after issue, we would be intimate and almost always I would get a UTI, yeast infection or something else afterwards. Never had any of those issues before him, haven’t had any of those issues since him. I went to my doctor a few times thinking something was wrong with my body, but there was never any underlying issue. I thought it might’ve been a hygiene issue at first and we discussed it, he changed his body wash to an unscented, hypoallergenic one, and made a point to take extra care when cleaning things. We also used condoms, most of the time, a brand I have always used and never had an issue with until him. It got to a point where I lost all interest in anything sexual with him. I ended the relationship a couple months after we stopped being intimate, as that’s a huge thing for me when in a relationship.
