Hi! I new here, and I would like an answer to a recent problem I've been experiencing.

For over a month, I've been having this weird tingly sensation on my labia (maybe a little farther up). It comes and goes. If I press on my left side of my uterus, my labia tingles and so does part of my uterus.

Nothings seems wrong with my vagina. I keep myself clean down there.

What's going on?

Here is some additional info about me if it may help with solving this problem for an answer.

I'm 23 years old. I have a seizure disorder, kidney issues(kidney stone producer), and a bulging disc L4-L5.

I take several medications for my seizures. Topamax, Lamictal, and Keppra.
I have 4 types of seizures - Generalized, Simple Partial, an unknown hybrid convulsion, and Complex Partial.

I am currently not sexually active, have never been pregnant, and do not have any STDs.
I do regularly masturbate, but I make sure my hands are clean before I do it and after.

I've had a few mild vaginal yeast infections before(everyone gets them!), just light swelling of the labia and itchiness. No fish smell or "cottage cheese."

Thanks for any help!

It could be related to your disc problem, a nerve could be trapped and producing this odd sensation. If you have a disc problem they've no doubt done MRIs on it so they should be able to tell you what the nerves are doing or if it's an old problem they can take another MRI and have a look.

My bulging disc is in my spine. Can it really effect my uterus/vagina? The bulging disc does not hurt and I had no idea I had one, until I got a CAT scan for a kidney stone in february.

But thanks for the help!

That made me laugh a little! Where else would a bulging disc be but in your spine? Sorry, back to the matter at hand. Yep a nerve from the back could definitely refer to the genitals, also if there's tight muscles around the area where the disc bulge is it could turn out to be a trigger point in those. You'd need to ask your doctor if any nerves are being pressed on by the disc problem (an MRI would show this) and get a physio to assess your muscles, particularly your adductors (inner thighs) if you have any tightness in them as they pretty much always refer to the genital area. Remember everything is connected and a problem in one area will have repercussions all over the body as it tries to compensate.
