Stabbing pain in vagina

[Bluebirds28]

I was diagnosed with endometriosis two years ago after having a laparoscopy. Recently though I've developed a new pain, specifically on the left side of my vagina/pubic bone. I feel like I'm being prodded with a tampon or something and I can't find any relief for it! I have to constantly change how I'm sitting because of this insane pressure and even though it's only a small problem, it's really getting me down. Has anyone had any experiences of something like this? Any idea of what it may be? I don't know whether contacting my GP is a bit dramatic or time-wasting, but I just can't get rid of this pain and am starting to worry. Any personal experiences would be much appreciated! xx

Yes, I have that pain, although for me it is at the top of my vagina, as if someone is stabbing a knife into my cervix. I have endo in my Pouch of Douglas which is what causes that pain according to my consultant. I find co-codamol helps a bit for it, but definitely have it checked out. Were you originally treated by a general gynaecologist or at a BSGE centre? General gynaecologists often miss endometriosis in the Pouch of Douglas, so it may have been there all along and missed.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I was treated by a general gynae and they definitely didn't mention anything about possible endo in my pouch of douglas! Unfortunately my nearest BSGE centre is absolute miles away so I think I'm just going to have to pester my GP for another referral. It's only a small problem but it causes me pain consistently (which gets worse when I need a BM, sorry for the TMI!), so it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one with this and that it is a real problem. Thank you again. xx

I sometimes get a quick sharp pain in my vagina but it doesn't last long. Usually the stabbing pain I have regular is up my bum and that one is excruciatingly painful.
