What Causes Pain And Discomfort While Sitting For Long Durations?
Question: I believe I have an internal vaginal injury. I have some pain and discomfort especially when sitting for extended periods of time. There is no bleeding or discharge, just a feeling of swelling. When I wake up in the morning I am fine but as the day progresses I feel more and more uncomfortable. During intercourse I felt a sharp pain when my husband was using a sex toy, it started after this.
Brief Answer:
Need further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
From what you describe,a XXXXXXX mucosal injury is unlikely.Such injury usually causes well defined pain without regard to the posture or time of the day.Also,there will be some discharge appearing few days after the event.
An ill defined pain or discomfort that increases on prolonged sitting/standing and decreases on lying down position(on waking up) usually results from gynaecological conditions like early prolapse,adnexal masses,bulky uterus,fibroid etc.
Anyhow,since there is a definite antecedent event,we have to rule out injury also.
In short,this need a gynaecological evaluation including abdominal and vaginal examination.Kindly get an appointment with your gynaecologist.You may be asked for an USG abdomen & pelvis.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
