Since you need to rely on the other symptoms to know whether you have vaginal sores or not it is very important to know these symptoms very well. Ignoring those symptoms could result in your vaginal sores to become much worse and sometime spread.

Here are some of the symptoms that could indicate you might have vaginal sores:

-itching in the vaginal area

-tenderness

-soreness

-burning sensation

-pain during sexual intercourse

-pain during urination (possible)

-outer rash or redness on the vulva or outer lips (possible)

If you are suffering from those symptoms or just some of these you could be having some vaginal sores or another medical condition. In that case I would recommend to go see your physician so he can give you a proper diagnosis.

The most common problem with people suffering from vaginal sores is that they are usually embarrassed by their condition and don't take the time to seek medical help. The problem with this is that it can be quite dangerous for your health. Ignoring your symptoms is never a good idea, and don't make the costly mistake of thinking they will go away over time.

Seeking professional help will not only help you get rid of your vaginal sores faster but will allow you to have a pap smear preformed to help you know the real reason behind your current condition.

This is especially true if you are suffering from vaginal sores. A pap smear is probably the best way to know the real reason behind the appearing of your vaginal sores. The method is quite simple, this procedure requires a speculum to be inserted into your vagina and widened to open the mouth of the vagina.

This is done in order to facilitate the specimen gathering brush to be inserted to gather the specimen. This is done quite rapidly and without pain.

The good thing about the pap smear is that it will also identify is you are suffering from a more serious condition. If this is the case you will then be able to begin the proper treatment for your real condition.
