Why if your period is late each month, but your not pregnant does your vagina feel sore? Serious answers pleas
Question:
Answers:
You might want to change whatever you use, first if you use tampons go to pads. not always popular but much better.
then, it could be the material of the tampon or pad that is causing the irritation. likely. might want to change brands, or try different ones. 'always' pads dont have that cottony surface, its kind of a plasticey looking stuff, but it doesnt deteriorate and irritate.
As far as the irregular periods-keep in mind that every other month either the right ovary only or the left ovary only ovulates-puts out an egg. If you kept a calendar marked every month when you start that month you might see a pattern. For instance when your left ovary (who knows) ovulates, you're period is 19 days after the first and when the next month, its 32 days after the last one. If you see a reasonable pattern I wouldnt worry too much.
Bear in mind, worry and diet and many things can cause irregular periods. I have heard that athletes have irregular but I've never been athletic so I dont know.
A problem might be if you dont really establish a pattern you wouldnt be able to guesstimate when you ovulate and able to get pregnant.
I would also take the advice to get the -PCO - test from your GYN. If you even meet only one criteria for having the test done-get it- you want to know you are healthy.
And-from experience-if you have an opportunity, this is the only kind of doc I would push for a woman to have a woman doctor. they KNOW what things like cramps etc feel like. They're more aware and empathetic. Smarter in that way.
Other Answers:
Ask your doctor to test you for PCO. A close friend of mine has that, and it's uncommon enough that you may have to say, "but what about PCO?" Do an online search on that too. (polycystic ovarian disease)
Suffering from irregular periods is a fairly clear indication that your cycles have become imbalanced. Some girls always have irregular periods; others get theirs every 28 days like clockwork. Many are regular most of the time, but occasionally skip a period or get an extra period during times of pressure or stress. In fact, you may notice that when you go on a trip or have a major change in your schedule your period is late.
The length of your periods may also vary - sometimes your period may last 2 days, sometimes 10. That's because the level of hormones your body manufactures can be different from one cycle to the next and this affects the amount and length of bleeding.

I HOPE IT WILL HELP U..
Firstly, the answerer 'solo' above. ignore him please. Paramedic.. I will bet my last dollar he isnt!
OK, it is normal to be irregular in your periods, dont worry. That is also why the doctors arent worrying. The pill makes you regular because it controls your hormones and your ovulation. Usually a 28 day cycle.
As a teen, you may have been irregular for the following reasons. poor diet, stress at school, unbalanced lifestyle, too much exercise etc. See there are so many reasons why irregularity is actually almost 'normal' for some people.
Having your period, you are still ovulating, you are still having your hormones release at the right times.. but many factors can influence the timing.
Please dont worry that irregularity may cause some sort of infertility problems later in life. This is not the case.
Also the hormones that are released during your cycles can do strange things to your skin. Your skin becomes sore. some people complain of itchiness, some people complain of dryness. what happens is that the hormones literally fill your uterus and vagina with blood. During the cycle the hormones prepare for a possible pregnancy and enriching these areas with a healthy blood supply is normal as the egg has to implant itself into the uterus and then gets its nourishment from there.
When you are not pregnant, then your body will expel the egg and also the enriched layer of the uterus. a.k.a. your period. During this time, your muscles contract a small bit, and the blood flow to your organs becomes less.
What you can do is go back to your doctor and explain this to him and he may put you on a different type of birth control pill that has different levels of hormones in it. This may help.
I promise you that irregularity has nothing to do with your ability to get pregnant or not. Usually it is your lifestyle that is causing it. But it isnt a big deal.
If you have other pains associated however with your period, like abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, then there may be other issues that need to be looked at. They are too numerous to mention here. and you havent said you have any other problems so please dont be overtly concerned. Let nature take its course and if you are still annoyed at your soreness, change your pill and see if that helps.
Good luck
