Vaginal Injection

Are there any situations where an injection into the vagina or related areas (Labia, cervix, etc) are necessary? Is so, please share your experiences. Also can anyone explain their uses and/or necessity. Thanks.

I am not a doc, but yes, there are many situations for do it.

In the cervix for example for dilate it, in the lips and around them for do little surgery procedures, only for do some examples.

Yes, there is. About 40 years ago, when my wife was in the hospital after a C-section, I was walking around hall by the nurses station one night while she napped. It was a small hospital and late at night, so no one objected. A nurse was wrapping instruments up in a cloth to be sterilized in an autoclave. I saw a very long hypodermic needle, about 6 or 8 inches long, laying on the cloth with some other items. I asked the nurse what that long needle was used for. She told me that it was used to give a shot in the vagina for a nerve block when a baby was going to be delivered.

This was back in the late 1960s, when pregnant women were given full obstetric shaves and a soapsuds enema during her labor prep. I saw the notebook of doctor's orders, too. It was opened to a page for postpartum instructions for a doctor I knew. One of those instructions was for a SSE (a soapsuds enema) to be given before the new mother was discharged from the hospital. I regret that I didn't have a lot of time to look carefully at that notebook to see what the volume of the enema to be given was.

About a year ago, I had a skin tag removed from my labia in my Gyn's office. She said "pinch" to administer the local and I almost jumped off the table. Had it not been for being in the stirrups, I probably would have. I yelped, flinched and tried to squirm backwards. She said "I know, It hurts" "Hang in there, be numb in a sec." Wow, that was probably my most painful needle stick ever. Then came the burning of the lidocaine, not as bad as the needle jabbed in this tender area, but close. About half way through the procedure and her cutting she asked if she was hurting me, (now she's worried about hurting me, geeze))I could feel it, but not super painful so I just gritted my teeth rather than face another shot there.

When my IUD was placed, about 6 years ago, I was almost given something against the pain (stretching my cervix). The gyn told the nurse to stand by and get a syrine with anaesthetic if nessasery. This shot, when used, would be have given in my cervix/womb. During delivery I was given shots in my labia. According my hubby it was quitte a long needle that went deep into my outher labia. I'am not sure why this was done. I never felt this as I also can't recall is was done. It was that my hubby told me later.

Yes. During an endometrial biopsy, the doctor has to pass a tool up the opening in the cervix in order to scrap the inside lining of the uterus. When my wife went in for one, the doctor was not able to introduce the tool as the opening in the cervix was too small, so he had to use several dilators to open up cervix, first a small one then a bigger one then an even bigger one yet. He first put in the speculum, opening my wife up, then took hold of the cervix with a tenaculum, clamping down on the cervix and holding it still. Then he took a large (long) needle and injected some anesthetic directly into the cervix. My wife was cringing and gritting her teeth as he introduced the needle into her cervix. After waiting several minutes with her still in the stirrups and speculum holding her wide open for all to see, he proceeded with the endometrial biopsy.

For my second child I was induced with pitocin , which caused immediate strong contractions that were only felt in my back and were not showing up on the monitor . Before I was even examined to check for any progress I was crowning . Because it was so quick I tore inside and out . No episiotomy was done and when the dr started to stitch me up I could feel everything he was doing and let out quite a welp ! He quickly produced a very large metal syringe ( looked like what a dentist used ) and started to inject me in my vagina . That produced a very large scream !

Following minor tearing with 1st born I recall being examined after passing afterbirth and receiving diclofenac in form of a suppository and then soon after, following inspecting the tear and "grazes on labia" I was injected at different sites and stitched back.

I guess it is called O shot or G shot. When I worked at the OB/GYN clinic they called it the O shot. Insurance companies would not pay for it back then. I don't know if they do now. But at the clinic I worked at it cost around $1700.00.

Indeed. If men had to have the babies the human race would become extinct!

Rockdoc , you are so correct ! Some men couldnt handle having their periods nevermind giving birth ! Lol

We still like to keep the men around tho 😉

For what it is worth, I have read that giving birth is comparable to a male passing an orange through the anus. Whenever I contemplate the idea I feel an awful sinking feeling in my stomach. Surely an almost impossible occurrence ...

To fin out what the O Shot is and the cost factor is, go to the following site: https://www.realself.com/o-shot

As a fantasy I like it, thought about it many times. I've tried and liked injecting the labia. The procedure can be a bit hurtful but the result feels nice and kinky. I'd perhaps even agree to try something like injecting the vaginal orifice or G-spot with NaCl-solution. Don't really know if it would be doable, but as a thought it will always be exciting to me.

But having it done seriously because of a medical necessity would freak me out quite severely.

Sounds a little schizophrenic if one likes basically the same thing under one pretext but not under the other. I guess for me the surrounding and attitude of my PLAY partner is important. I love my doc quite mercyless.

My wife had some mild tearing/ abrasions after giving birth so had some injections then of local but I think compared to the birth did not register as much of a deal.

My wife had most of her right labia removed down to the hymenal ring due to cancer. She has had many shots in that region.

I don't have my personal experience for this subject. When I was in college I had a close friend . She was 22 years old when this happened. She had a bad problem in her vaginal area( I forgot now problem ) she told me she wanted to go hospital next day to have a treatment . so I went with her next morning and waited until doctor checked her.After ten minute she came to me with receipt and she was in fear .I asked the reason and she told me that she would have to take injection in vaginal area . receipt was for that. she wanted to avoid that but I force her to take that because she was suffering for almost a month .

Then we went another clinic and waited for her time . After fifteen minute we entered the room . there was another room inside that big room. I had to waited in big room my friend enter to small room with doctor and nurse . Another nurse came with a tray full of medicine vial and syringes. door was not completely closed , so I could hear doctor ordered her to undress and lie down. The I could hear they were preparing a injection and order her to be relax and take deep breath. After few second i could hear my friend screamed in pain then she cried .

Few minutes later came to me with tear filed eyes .When came to our apartment she told me injection was given right below her urethra.

During delivery I was given shots in my labia. According my hubby it was quitte a long needle that went deep into my outher labia. I'am not sure why this was done.

This sounds like a pudendal block, a technique of local anaesthesy that used to be quite common during birth. Lucky girl that you didnt feel it, it usually is quite painful.

N.

I think the injection of lidocaine as a means of numbing the cervix is an interesting procedure. In particular it would be interesting to see the look on the patient’s face as the doctor prepared the syringe prior to the injection.

I believe this is a common procedure during a cervical dilation.

@jaso Interesting story... did she have more than one?

Paracervical local anesthesia for cervical dilation and uterine procedures

Paracervical block includes the injection of a local anesthetic around the cervix to numb nearby nerves. Cervical dilation and uterine interventions (such as hysteroscopies, endometrial biopsies, fractionated curettage, and aspiration abortions) can be performed without analgesia or anesthesia; with regional injections of anesthetics or with a paracervical block; the use of oral or intravenous pain relievers and sedatives; or under general anesthesia. Many gynecologists use paracervical block for uterine procedures, but it is not clear how effective and safe this method is. Nine new studies were included in this updated review, with a total of 26 studies involving 2790 women undergoing uterine procedures. Patients were randomized to paracervical block or an alternative. It was found that, statistically, the patients had significantly less pain during cervical dilation and uterine intervention with paracervical block than with placebo injection (saline or water) but this difference may not be clinically important. Paracervical block had no effect in five uncontrolled studies. There was no evidence that paracervical block relieved pain compared with alternative regional anesthetic methods or systemic analgesics and sedatives. There was very little information on important side effects. After updating this review found that no local anesthetic technique prevented pain as effectively as would be expected from general anesthesia.

Authors' conclusions:

No technique provided reliable pain control in the 26 included studies. Some studies reported that women experienced severe pain (mean scores 7 to 9 out of 10) during uterine intervention, regardless of the analgesic technique used. It was concluded that the available evidence is unable to show whether paracervical block is inferior, equivalent or superior to alternative analgesic techniques in terms of efficacy and safety, for women undergoing uterine interventions. It is indicated that the patient is likely to consider that the ratings and severity of pain during uterine interventions, when performed while awake, are inadmissible when there is no neuraxial block, which is not modified by paracervical block.
