What is the cause of vaginal burning pain

When the pants we wear are too tight and rough, coupled with the friction when walking, it will cause burning pain around the genitals, and the skin on the inside will also turn dark red and bleed. This is the most common case of vaginal burning pain we see. The second is that the body's heat cannot be dissipated, and you will feel an obvious burning sensation when urinating. In addition to the two simple situations mentioned above, the third type is case-related factors, such as vestibular gland cysts, vaginitis, and the more special one is during childbirth.

Causes of local redness, swelling, heat and pain at the vaginal opening

(I) Causes of the disease: Bartholin's gland cyst is caused by obstruction of the opening of the Bartholin's gland duct, which causes the secretions to accumulate in the gland cavity. Causes of Bartholin's duct obstruction include:

1. After the infected Bartholin's gland abscess subsides, the pus is absorbed and the mucus in the gland cavity becomes thick and blocks the gland duct.

2. Congenital glandular duct stenosis or atresia causes poor or no discharge of fluid in the glandular cavity, leading to cyst formation.

3. In some cases, the Bartholin's duct may be damaged due to lacerations of the vagina and the outer part of the perineum during delivery, damage to the duct during episiotomy, or severe scar tissue contraction after the episiotomy heals, which may lead to obstruction of the Bartholin's duct and formation of a cyst.

(ii) Pathogenesis: The contents of the cyst are transparent mucus and rarely serous. The cyst is unilocular, and light yellow transparent mucus can be extracted by puncture. Sometimes it is mixed with blood and appears red or brownish red, which can easily be mistaken for endometriosis cysts, especially when the epithelium covering the cyst wall contains pseudoxanthomatous cells.

In the early stage of the cyst, the cyst wall is covered with transitional epithelium. As the cyst fluid increases and the pressure rises, the transitional epithelium can be transformed into a single layer of cuboidal epithelium or flat epithelium, or even atrophy. If secondary infection occurs, the cyst wall will show chronic inflammatory connective tissue and even form granulation tissue.

How to deal with it

The first and most important thing is to do a good job of cleaning and care in daily life to keep the perineum clean and dry. During menstruation, you should pay special attention to changing sanitary pads frequently, wearing more clothes, and not eating raw, cold and irritating foods to prevent pathogens from taking advantage of the decreased resistance.

If you have other gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, you should actively treat these high-risk factors for vulvitis. Do not abuse or overuse some of the vulva cleaning products on the market to avoid destroying the normal acidic environment in the vagina.

Avoid frequent sexual activity, scratching, etc. in daily life. If there is local congestion, swelling or even erosion, you can order potassium permanganate in the hospital. Mix it in a ratio of 1:5000 and use it for a sitz bath to achieve local cleansing, anti-inflammatory and swelling effects. (However, sitting baths are prohibited during menstruation)

Maintain good living habits and keep a good mood. Do not eat raw, cold, spicy or irritating food. Do not go to places with poor sanitary conditions to soak in hot springs, swim, etc.
