I just recently, found a sore on the upper inside of the vagina, it's not very big, can you give me any information as to what this is or what's causing it? I'm 52 years old, in menopause with hotflashes. I haven't had a menstrual period as of January 9, 2008.

Hi Debbie, One of the most common things that can cause sore places in the vagina is small tears that happen because the tissue becomes very thin and dry...and therefore more fragile. It also might possibly be a lesion caused by bacteria or a virus. Regardless of what we might guess this is, you definitely need to have it evaluated by a gynecologist. See a doctor and put your mind at ease.
