Sharp, knife-like pains in my vagina...what is it?

My vagina has been getting very excruciating pains (almost knife-like) for the past few days.

They occur in short bursts (approximately one minute at a time) every hour-and-a-half or so.

Any suggestions or ideas on what this could be?

Uhmmm I just felt this once just now? I am eating chips and thought that maybe it didn't go down right and maybe it was just pointing into my belly , It feels kinda inside above my vagina but stopped now and only happened for a minute but hurt when I sat down , What kind of infection ? And possibly could I have it ? How do you get ride of it ? I am only 13 and haven't even hit my period

Please be mindful before suggesting that someone's pain is psychological. It is always the best practice to rule out physical causes of pain before pursuing a psychological diagnosis. I would hate this person to feel as if you have belittled their situation by minimizing the pain to being a figment of their imagination.
