In Menopause, Having Intermittent Deep Ache In Labial Region Like Varicose Vein. Pain In The Pubic Symphysis
Question: I am 59 yrs old, not sexually active, post menopausal female. Have been experiencing intermittent, deep aching in labial region, almost like varicose vein aching/throbbing. When I stand on one leg as when dressing each morning, there is pain in the pubic symphysis area-- as though the pelvis is threatening to split at that point. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Hello,
thanks for the query,
it is possible that you are suffering from post menopausal atrophic vaginitis. Atrophic vaginitis also known as urogenital atrophy refers to an inflammation of the vagina and outer part of the urinary tract due to the lack of a reproductive hormone called estrogen.
Symptoms typically include:
a. Genital symptoms:
Dryness, Itching, Burning, painful intercourse, Burning vaginal discharges and feeling of pressure
b. Urinary symptoms:
Painful urination, blood in urine, frequent urination and urinary tract infections etc.
However these symptoms might not be present all at the same time.
Treatment is done by treating complications such as infections and use of estrogen for hormone replacement.
You might consider to XXXXXXX your doctor for a detail examination and for confirmation or for an appropriate diagnosis following detail examination and tests if possible.
Hope this answers your query. If you have further query i will be glad to help.
Best regards
