shot in the vagina--any stories and what's it for??
Hello ladies,
I called the doctor today because I was having a pinchy cramping feeling high within the vaginal wall. I have already had 2 treatments of silver nitrate so I figured the worst he would say is that I may have to come in for another treatment of that. Instead, he said that he wanted me to come in tomorrow, take 800mg of Motrin in the morning before my appt., and then he'd check to see what was going on but that he may have to give me a shot...
He didn't say much more than that and of course I spaced out shortly after I heard shot in the vagina!!!
I've been looking for threads on this topic and can't seem to find any....so of course now I'm freaking out even more!
Any sisters out there that know why I may have to get a shot in there? Or better yet, any sisters out there that have had this experience???
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did he do anything else after the shot? Did you ask him what it was?
I just had my second treatment of silver nitrate yesterday. He also put in some yellow/brown stuff but no shots. I'm curios what it was for.
My doctor said he would have to do more stitches if this round didn't work.

Re: shot in the vagina--any stories and what's it for??
Hi again...I will go in tomorrow morning...but over the phone, I know I heard that there was a possibility of a shot in the vagina... ...then I sort of blanked out from there. Maybe I won't have to worry about it once he looks in there, but of course my mind is thinking worse case scenario and I wanted to be prepared ahead of time as far as what to expect and if there are questions I should ask.
Trying to stay positive!

Re: shot in the vagina--any stories and what's it for??
Hi ladies! Okay, I'm soooo relieved! I went to the doctor this morning and he talked to me about what's going on and gave me my options. He said that he believes it is a nerve that is irritated and causing the pinching, crampy, burning feeling. He said that I could wait until week 12 (I'm 10 weeks now) to see if it gets better because I'm still healing from the sutures, or I could have an injection. Here's what the process would be...he said he would give me something (pill) to "relax" me, then put some numbing stuff on the area and let that sit for 10-15 minutes, then he would give me a local anesthesia, and then finally a steroid injection. He said the amount of steroid injected would be very small, but it should relieve the inflammation and the pain.
My pain on a scale from 1-10 is only about a 3-4, so I'm going to wait another 2 weeks and see if I feel better as I continue to heal. If not, I'll have to decide what to do, but I'm staying positive for now!! :-)

Re: shot in the vagina--any stories and what's it for??
Ohhh, ok - well, that doesn't seem so bad since he's going to relax ya and do the local and all that. Wow, that was scary for a minute! This kinda reminds me of going to the dentist - little uncomfortable, but in the end worth it I agree, tho, I'd hang in there another couple weeks if possible to see if it clears itself, hehe! Thanks for following up and letting us know what he was talking about!
