Help burning coming from vagina.

Ok so normally when I have a flare everything hurts and it is mostly focused inside my vagina. Is this normal?? And what can I do...it is so uncomfortable right now.

Also girls when you have a flare is it also along with your period? Mine seems to be that way...however my period has not really shown up yet and this has been a week long flare.

A flare can hit you at any time.. And its very painful and can hit with no ryme or reason:confused: And it can cause alot of burning...I use tums for the burning or one teaspoon of baking soda in an 8 ounce glass of water..I have to take pain pills for the pain.

i can always tell the difference between my flares...and my uti's

flare burning is up more near the uthera
uti burining / pulling..is near the vagina

for me, at least
so it might be a uti

but dont freak out..i thought for sure a uti would cause me a huge flare
and it didn't

I just seem to get this burning and pain during a flare too. I am not sure...wish I could stop it though.

I didn't develop IC until after a hysterectomy, but I know from posts by others that flares are not unusual with menstruation. It's hard to know exactly which area is hurting with a flare --- the vagina is so close to the urethra that sometimes it's impossible.

I hope you feel better very soon.

Dr told llme you can feel it anywhere down there. There are so many connected nerves. Vaginal stuff can be hormonal too. I was very low on estrogen which started this first long flare in over 10 years. Hang in there!

Thanks. I know my flares are associated to my period. They always have been. On the nose every month. I am feeling better just super bloated and yucky from the period that is here. :(
