Vaginal pangs of pain
So, in my vaginal and pelvic regions, I've been having really weird pains. Some feel almost near the outside of vagina, while others feel higher up near the cervix or in the pelvic region. Some of the pains are like shooting pains/twinges. It happens sporadically. It has been happening over the past month. I stopped birth control a month ago, and I did not restart after my period ended a few days ago. I went to a doc about the pelvic pain and he checked me for a UTI, which it wasn't. He said the pains may be due to the hormones from stopping the birth control.
Also, I did not notice the pains while I was on my period.
What do you guys think? Thank you very much!

Dr. Kaur,
Thank you very much for your answer! So you don't necessarily think this is due to hormones? I was thinking that was the probable cause, being that it seemed to start shortly after stopping birth control. It has lessened recently, but I still get the pains intermittently.
Thanks for your time!

Hello,
Cause of pelvic pain could be due to kidney stones, pelvic infections, urine infections, twisted ovarian cyst or rupture of ovarian cyst, appendicitis or any other referred pain due to other organ infections. Other than that,it can be due to UTI and vaginal infection or vaginitis, a tight vaginal wall, sores at the mouth of vagina or vestibulitis, vulvodynia or a dry vagina (frictional injury), thrush or fungal infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic tumors, cervical and uterine infections and tumors. Depending on the site of pain, diagnosis can be made.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
