Menstrual cramps but I went through menopause 10 years ago!?

Warning - delicate female topic!

Ok, I'm three months out and have these really stange pains. The closest thing I can compare them to are menstrual cramps although I haven't had a period in over 10 years. It cramps in my uterus area and sometimes radiates on down through my vaginal area. Sorry if TMI, just wondering if anyone else has had such sensations. They are not unbearable but bothersome!

I just came across this and saw that no-one replied.

1st - I hope you're doing ok now. If not I recommend getting to your obgyn. Hopefully you're being seen every year.

2nd - I get pain that shoots into my vagina. I have 3 children, and while pregnant with each one I would have this pain or feeling that they were coming out while I would walk. My Dr said it was just pressure. Idk. But anyways I guess about 2 1/2 years ago, not pregnant, I started getting that pain/pressure feeling again as if something was coming out of me. It mostly happened while walking but would also occur with bending and picking up heavy things. My obgyn found nothing wrong! Initially he thought it could be a bladder prolapse. Yay it's not.

My highest weight was 359. I'm 7 wks out and now just under 300. But one day last week while on the elliptical I felt it again. I was hoping that weight loss would stop whatever it is. Especially since everything wrong with me is because I'm obese;-)

Idk if this is the same pain you're feeling or not when it comes to the vaginal area.

But I do hope you get looked at and everything is ok. My obgyn walked away from his practice and I've been avoiding finding a new one. Feel free to update on here. I hope you're doing better.

Thank you for answering. Evidently it's a rare situation. It's not happening near as often now. I do need to go in for my annual exam so I'll tell my doctor about it. Thanks again!
