Hi, I am just not too sure how to describe the vagina discomforts I am having now. Can I say it is more like pins and needles or tingling sensation? It is hard to describe but it is along this line, I suppose. As I had degenerated disc, my spine doctor told me to get a stationery bike to strengthen my back muscles. Could it be caused by the pressure of the bike saddle on my perineum? I have since stopped using the bike for about 5 days since this discomfort started. Today, even as I leaned against my dressing table , I can feel the discomfort of my vagina against it. I am truly puzzled Any ladies here in the same predicament, love to hear from you. Blessy.

Hi Blessy,


oh boy, I seem to be loaded with vaginal "sensations"! LOL what you described I've had, and more! I actually started two threads on vaginal problems on the AM I STARTING PERI forum.... one was "vag. anxiety"..lol...and I forgot the name of the other, but they're both about vag. sensations! This is not unusual in peri, and while it COULD come from anything....ususally, it's hormonal. So, any conventional dr. is going to try to look for some "other" answer, bec. they don't give hormones any validity .... but, to me, this sounds very hormonal, and i wouldn't worry about it .... although it IS very annoying, isn't it?!

I started getting a crawling sensation on the lower portion of the vulva area. weird! its as though its getting "the chills" so crazy.
I am 56 and am in menopause, but the atrophy is realllly lousy down there. so started estrace cream.
It is getting very weird down there lately!!

Hi blessy

Yes I can really relate to your post, last year, everything was feeling tight up there, until I stopped using tampons which I think dry out the vagina
at this time.

I actually think the dryness we experience during Peri effects a lot of areas of our bodies.
Sometimes I wish I could just dip my whole body in a vat of olive oil

I have also had the strange nerves type sensations in the vagina, even to the extent that
some months it felt a little like a vibrating cell phone was down there.

I think Joyce is right to call it vaginal anxiety.

I have a rule of thumb unless I am seriously worried about a symptom, I leave it for 3 months to see if it
improves or morphs into something else to worry about.

This has helped me a lot to weather the Peri storm, I am now 42 and hoping to be done by 45.
I've given my body the hard word anyway Hope it's listening.

forgot to mention that I do have back issues as well, but I am sure they are not related, but I do visit my chiropractor every 3 months, as I think
an adjustment helps with both the period pain, and to balance out my nervous system

Hope this is of some comfort!
