Hi Rosie,

My first thought was of a yeast infection but you already treat and are vigilant about it. By the way, avoid anything but cotton undies, do not wear thongs (ouch!), only wash down there with detergent-free soaps and not bubble bath...you can use homemade bath salts using sea salt and essential oils.

As for the pain, I would get cyst or abscesses up there...often things worked themselves out by soaking in a hot tube with sea salt.

Is the pain in a very defined site (like 1 square inch) or is it more a diffused pain...? Is it hot to the touch (inflamation) or is it a sharp pain? Does it hurt more when you press on it or when you let go?

Lots of questions but they can help get you some answers at a time when we really do not want to go to the hospital for any reason at all!

By the way, have you started any new sports, gone bicycling or riding of any sort? Yoga?

These can also cause unexpected pain.
