10 year old DD with vaginal pain and itching

Has been going on for about 3 years. Normally happens once every few months but has been happening every night for the past 5 nights.

She describes it as starting with a feeling like she has bubbles inside her and a stomach ache. She then experiences an intense burning/itching sensation which is really quite painful for her. She normally ends up in tears fidgeting about as she can't sit still. She says it sometimes comes in 'waves' but other times it's continuous. The thing I find quite bizzare is that it only really happens late at night and she's often woken up by it.

She normally sits in a warm bath for about 20minutes and it goes but this isn't helping any more. We've been to the doctors a few times, she's been examined once but only externally and the pain is inside. She's been given a course of antibiotics and been prescribed Canesten twice but neither have had any effect.
I've bought her Femfresh to wash with so she's not using any harsh soaps.

We're going back to the doctors tomorrow but i was wondering if anyone had experienced similar or had any idea what it could be?

Ah I was just seeing this and just about to respond that it sounds like LS. I’ve had it and finally found out my diagnosis. 😕 So glad you found out!

Ah so glad you've finally got a diagnosis! Hopefully the steroids will soothe the itching and pain.

Our consultant has told us that it's probably down to lack of oestrogen and will eventually go away as she goes through puberty!

Hey everyone

I’m currently up with my 10 year old daughter.
She is experiencing shooting pains up her vulva and into her vagina. It lasts about 4 hours from 11pm to 3am. We are on our third night in a row. She’s had it 8 times now in the past 18months and it’s so upsetting.

She needs period pants because she has giggle incontinence, loves dance and gymnastics and doing the splits etc. I’m trying to think if any of these are caddying it. It’s not on the skin surface- it’s the muscles inside. I remember the pains from pregnancy - lightning crotch. It’s exactly the same as this… but she’s 10!

Did anyone on here get a solution???!!

Worsening - not caddying 😂
