Hello again,
The pain you are experiencing is likely due to vaginal dryness along with pelvic muscle dysfunction. You do not have to worry about any vaginal or urinary infection at this point.
Combination treatment with vagina Estrogen creams and Kegels exercise can help with your symptoms.
Please be advised to follow up with your gynecologist for necessary management. Meanwhile, use hot compress and take over the counter Tylenol for pain.
