Each of us is a bit different, and this will vary a lot between patients. My major pain issues lasted about 5 weeks, but the problems shifted around a bit. For a while, it was the area where I had been shaved around the labia. That turned out to be a yeast infection that my gynecologist found when my surgeon had asked her to check for granulation. No granulation to speak of, but the yeast thing was pretty awful until it had been treated. If this is skin related, and not muscle, you might want to continue ice packs while you are laying down for a few more days since it will involve some swelling. My biggest relief came when the last of the sutures fell out at around 4 weeks, although 1 suture near my labia minora waited until week 7. (I kept hitting it with my dilator on the way in.). If this is a burning type of pain, I would call and have it looked at by a doctor in case it is an infection which the best of us get. A gynecologist would be the best bet, and give the gyno a release to talk to your surgeon, and vice versa.
