A sore vagina is nothing to laugh about. Here is how you can get some relief.
Simple Ways To Soothe A Woman's Private Parts
#1 Vulvodynia
Vulvodynia, the medical term for vaginal soreness, can be caused by many things. The first step is to figure out the cause.
#2 Rough Intercourse
If you've had rough sex or a lot of sex, your vagina may become sore. It's a muscle, and can get sore just like any other overused muscle in your body.
#3 Medical
Growths can cause pain, and should be examined by a doctor, to determine if you have an STD, an infection, or some other medical cause. Menopause can also cause vaginal soreness, due to hormonal changes that can cause dryness.
#4 Solutions
Ice is a great way to bring some relief to a sore vagina that is caused by sexual roughness, frequency, or an injury. Wrapping an ice pack in a cloth and applying intermittently to the area is helpful.
#5 Warm Bath
A warm bath is also very helpful to alleviate pain in that area.
#6 Anesthetic
There are numbing creams on the market that you can apply to your vagina to get some relief from the pain. Look for ointments that contain Lidocaine or a Lidocaine/prilocaine mixture. Make sure to follow directions.
#7 Internal Medications
Medications such as Advil and Tylenol can dull the pain, and an anti-histamine will help with the itchiness.
