Lumps on genitals in women
Cervix
The main lump in the vagina is the cervix (neck of the womb). This projects into the far end of the vagina and is about 3 cm across. You can usually feel the cervix by inserting the first two fingers into the vagina and pushing upwards. It is easier to feel if you ‘bear down’ (contract your stomach muscles as if you are trying to open your bowels). The texture of the cervix is similar to the end of your nose, but it has a hole in the middle. In a woman who has not had a child, the hole is about the size of a pencil lead, but it is usually larger in women who have given birth. Menstrual blood passes through this hole from the womb into the vagina.
Vagina
Prolapse
- Lose weight if you are obese. This will certainly help; excess weight puts pressure on the pelvic floor and makes the problem worse.
- Stop smoking if you have a smokers cough; coughing puts pressure on the pelvic floor.
- Do pelvic floor exercises. They will help leakage of urine due to prolapse.
- Surgery is needed if prolapse is troublesome, particularly if it is causing incontinence of urine. The surgeon cuts away flabby parts of the vagina and strengthens the supporting tissues. It is important to tell the surgeon if you are still sexually active, so that the vagina is not made too narrow, or intercourse may later be uncomfortable.
- A pessary is a special ring placed in the vagina to give support. Pessaries are made of plastic and are changed every 6 months. They are usually used as a stop-gap measure while waiting for an operation, or for women who cannot have surgery for any reason.

I have a lump on my vagina near the cliterous should I be worried about this or will it go in a coupple of days?
Posted by Chantee on 03/04/2012 at 08:31
Jhon, Sometimes even if it's a girls first time having sex she doesn't bleed the bleeding comes from the Simon covering the opening of the vagina being torn! However that skin can be torn by many other things from riding a bike to using a tapon or masterbating as far as the itching goes I don't know really! Mabey if u guys had lotion or something that may have got down their that would do it!

Ok so two days ago after having sex with my boyfriend I found this dime size lump on the inner lip of my vagina. It hurts when I touch it but other than that it doesn't really bother me. I've never had this before so I'm really worried, did he give me an STD, is this lump cancerous, should I stay calm?! Someone help! The clinics are closed today and I'm not sure what to do :(

I have lumps in my vagina that started in the back, the don't hurt but are moving forward towards the entrance like my vagina is going to fall out. Wearing a tampon doesn't seem to bother them, it just pushes them back into place.But there are several and should I just stand on my head and do exercises?

The itchines is at the wall of the servix.

I had some bumps when I was pregnant. Doctor didn't say what they were but did say they were not warts and they weren't anything to worry about. My son is 4 now, and I have noticed these little skin flaps about 4 around labia majora and 3 on my buttcheeks. I am so scared that its warts. They are a little darker than skin color ( I'm white )

About 4 days ago I noticed that on the side side of the inner lip of my vagina, I had a hard spot like lump. It was yellow inside, but I left it cuz didnt want to mess may have made it worse. The next day it had got a little bigger so I managed to pop it in case it may turn into a cyst. It was bleeding n finally lots of yellow poison came out. discusting I know. The spot now looks liike a small ulcer. Bt I mist my docs appointment n am scared it may turn cancerous. No poison has come back. Is there a chance it cud turn cancerous. Im really concerned.

My vagina lips are very itchy and after itching they burn and get real sore, the problem stopped for a while but came back after changing soaps. I've also noticed 2 sore blisters which healed and left scar like things on my vagina, now it looks unpleasant especially by the lips.. What could be wrong? Could this be an STD?

I'm 19 and ever since end of school my periods became iregular,I'd have them every 4-6 months, I'm too scared to go to the doctors, but my theory is that I'm overweight, which is the problem. My last period was January 2010, which is bad! I have had sex, two different people. I have not experienced any signs of STDs. Recently when I feel just inside my vagina it feels very horrible, lumpy, I dislike it, glad I dnt go down there, the men can deal with it. But I don't no iff its so called normal. I know everyone is different but still there's something there that is indifferent for everyone. Anyhelp would be fab (Y)

Hey I'm 19, I have regular periods but a week after having my regular period I have another, I'm on the pill and everytime I see my doctor about it he won't listen to me and says I'm spotting but I don't believe spotting can go through a tampon and overnight pad onto your jeans. Also a few days ago I had this itching sensation so I applied some thrush cream (for the first time), I forgot to reapply for 2 days then my partner and I felt the inside on my vagina and it was like little lumps. I am sexually active, but always using protection like condoms, I have no other pain, it's really dry down there and I'm not normally like that, and it's smelly Could it just be my body reacting to the cream or could it be something serious? I'm seeing a specialist at the end of the week but I'm freaking out now. Thank you
Posted by Optional on 12/12/2011 at 12:27

I've recently had a barthilon cyst removed and recently i've noticed small bumps on the inside of my vagina, it sounded like genital warts, however i went to my doctors the following day and he said its not genital warts its just small cysts, is he right? or is there a chance hes wrong? because all he did was check the area. Thanks for your help.

hi, i have what seems like an olive size ball betwen my vulva and anus, i feel it when i wipe myself on the toilet and it often bleeds if i wipe too hard. please can you tell me what this is.it also gets very itchy. thanks
Posted by Optional on 05/10/2011 at 08:20
A lot of people posting questions on here need to look up a couple things that might relax their fears. 1. Cervix - this is a large fleshy rather smooth lump found high up in your vagina. It recedes and drops, depending on your menstrual cycle. There is a small opening at the tip. If you think about where a penis head ends up when having intercourse, this is where it is located (sperm going through opening at tip is part one of how babies are made). Another thing to look up is hemorrhoids. They aren't just for old people. Tuck's pads and fiber are the ways to help get rid of them, it is mainly caused from straining too hard while pooping. It is essentially a vein in your rectum that becomes enlarged from straining and pops out of the rectum. It is itchy and painful sometimes, but not all of the time. Its like a little ball sitting there, and depending if you've stressed it out recently with a bowel movement, can get smaller and bigger. 3. Pregnancy does a lot of weird things down there, including lots of swollen parts, mucus, and itching. Itching from stretching mucosa, swelling from extra blood flow preparing for babies birth & supporting placenta, and mucus also for prepping for birth as well as changes with cervix, etc. 4. The anatomy of the vagina. The vagina is not usually smooth, it is full of lumps (hymen & remnants plus g-spot and natural anatomy) and ridges (called rugae). Generally the most alarming new bumps are the ones you notice outside of the vagina which could be a sign of genital warts. While on that topic, pimples can result from hair follicles in the area, so small bumps can occur, much like a man's chest hair can cause the same bumps.

I have a probelm which is very hard to descibe. When i urinate its fine but straight after i get an uncomfortable feeling like my vagina just want to push out and then blood comes out and then goes again after a few minutes, it is quite painful. This was after having forplay and its been here for a day now and i feel like i need to pee all of the time. Do you have any idea what this could be??

I've finally met my dream girl. She's 43, is petite, and we're both crazy about one another. The sexual energy is unmistakeable. However, I'm concerned about her enjoyment of intercourse w/ me, as it is obviosly painful. She can handle my finger or two, but thats about it. She wants all of me, but when we attempt intercourse, it is obvious she is hurting. She has had only 3 other sexual experiences in her life, and those were painful as well. I'm concerned that she will become increasingly frustrated w/ herself, as she is heavily aroused, but just can't take the penetration moment. How can we deal w/ this, and is there any chance it will be easier and less painful w/ continued effort? I really have deep feelings for her, and I know she feels the same...any suggestions for us would greatly appreciated! Thank you

i have had 4 kids so I KNOW what hemorrhoids feel like and what they are, internal and external. this feels different, it is what is would call a hemorrhoid, but it actually feels as if it is hanging there out of my anus? usually hemorroids feel like they are attached and this feels more like, if i was to pull on it, it would snap off..doesnt hurt really, just can feel it when i wipe and seems to bother me when i wear underware..i can feel it..

My clitoris is two inches long, and lumpy. Should I get it checked out by a doctor, or is it fine? Every time I have sex, it gets hard and starts to hurt; it scares me. My boyfriend said it was ok, but he sounded hesitant. When I play with myself, it happens. Sometimes, I let my boyfriend suck on it; that seems to make it feel better. The pain goes away after I climax, every time, but I don't know what it is.

I know this has nothing to do with the vagina, but I have a saw little lump the size of a skittle on my bottom (Anus) and its been there for a while but I only notice it when i'm on the toilet so when the area is more open to the world lol!! I know I sound like i'm making a joke of it, which like most things in life I do, however it is very saw and sometimes gets itchy, like its coming out, is it piles? I know its not STD so please don't blab on about that, I also know the best thing is to see a doctor , but I wouldn't be writting this if I did that, just need some pre-advice, so , no std or aids comments or see a GP. :) thankyou.

Hello, I have the light to skin colored bumps on my pubic area, but not inside the vagina. I believe that they are caused from shaving as one or two have scarred. I am not sure what they are exactly though and would like some advice. I am not the only one of my friends to have these but I get a little paranoid. They do not itch or go away and there is no discharge.

I am 19 years old and have been in a relationship for two years. We had both had chlamydia about a year ago. But we both got treated... I had had bad dicharge and would often bleed from sex... It went away for a while but I have had thick white discharge again but not yellow like it was..and I found a group of white bumps ( not painful) when I open my vagina lips by the opening of my vagina. and I also felt inside my vagina and felt another bump on the left side about an inch in.. Also not painless... What could this be? It doesnt look like herpes but im scared :/

Ive recently noticed that i have a round, squishy lump on the outside of my vagina, its below my labia and under the top of my vagina lip, its on the pink/red skin, its underneath the skin and about the size of a 20p, when i press on it, it kind of moves around underneath the skin, my vaginas quite itchy too but i usually have that problem, when i itch it it gets worse and doesnt stop for ages but this only happens when its dry. Im worried about this lump incase its cancerous, i dont want to go to a doctor because im insecure. i know it might sound strange but if youve ever felt a mans testicle, it moves around the scrotum and you can feel the ball under the skin, its quite slippery... thats exactly what my lump feels like, its on the left side of my vagina lip and i would really appreciate it if someone could help me find out what it is, ive searched all over the internet and theres someone on here who sounds like they might have the same problem but no answers. please help! thanks.

I'm fourteen and recently I discovered a large, fleshy lump about a finger's length inside my vagina. I'm really concerned about what it might be. It's not painful to touch, but it's really large and I'm scared it might be blocking my menstrual path. My period is late and recently the discharge from my vagina has been really thick and looks like mucus. I think something might be swollen...but I'm not sure. Please help! I'm really worried about it :/

I have just noticed a lump under the skin of my left vagina lip. The lump isnt hard like a stone however its not soft/squishy either, It kind of moves around the area but feels like its attached at the bottom. What could this be?

I have a painless bump under my perineum(female). Can't be easily seen but can be felt when touched. It sometimes seem like a swollen vein which has reached my perineum after putting some leaves(a friend told me to use scented leaves) at the anal opening. Its now growing to my annoyance. I don't know what it is but it caused me gastritis. I've tried antifungal, antibacterial creams. Even hydrocortisone. They seem to reduce it a little but no changes yet. I've also gone to hospital but the drugs just didn't work. I need help please. What's that?

I have always(even before being sexually active) had this whitish pea sized bump inside the opening of my vagina towards the perineum. Its only on one side, the right. Its never sore or causes any problems. When I was younger I thought it might be a large pimple from the looks of it, but to the touch it is sensitive, so I left it alone. I go to the doctor yearly for check ups and she has never mentioned it, so I assumed it is normal. Just wondering though, what is it? Any ideas?

I had oral sex with this guy and he got a little rough and bit my vagina near the clitoris and right after I noticed it was a little sore and its been about a week and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. It doesn't hurt to urinate but its sore to wipe after using the restroom and its a little itchy, could this be herpes?

hi i have an embarrassing issue. I gave birth 4 months ago and recently had sex, before that my partner and i had not had sex for a year! After we had sex I decided to see if all felt normal up there- this was when i discovered a weird 'spot' I spoke to a friend who informed me it couldnt be warts as I had not had sex for over a year prior to that! I wouldnt even describe it as a lump or a spot, more like a 'notch' if this makes sense. It wasnt there before I gave birth and I havent had sex up until last week so what can this be? A friend suggested 'skin' since I needed stitches after I gave birth. I dont want to see a dr as they'll want to look but im worrying its something serious like cancer.

I am 19 years old and am sexually active with one partner. He has given me Chlamydia once and we are both STI free now. While i had the STI i noticed a small little bump just inside my vagina that was sore and would bleed a TINY bit after we had sex. After i took the meds for the chlamydia, the painful little bump seemed to go away. We had broken up for a short while and during that time he slept with another girl and when we got back together I thought he might have given me chlamydia again, we both got tested and came back negative but this little painful bump is back. I don't recall if it's in the exact same spot again but it seems like it might be. Can anyone help me out and tell me what this might be!?

I'm a virgin, but when I have solo sex i can feel one large, cervix- feeling lump about 3 inches into my vagina on the upper wall, and three pea sized lumps above that. Also, the more it is stimulated, the 'tighter' it feels, with the cervix- like bulge growing and becoming sensitive, It's really freaking me out! Help?

I have suffered genital herpes for 2 years. I caught it from my husband, through him perfroming oral sex on me, while he had a mouth ulcer. He has never been a sufferer. The first outbreak was horrific, but each further outbreak is less painfull. My doctors were hopeless, very un-sympathetic. You can live with it and have a normal sex life.

Okay so me and my boyfriend been having sex some protected and some not, we lost our virginity together, but we broke up for a while and he went on and had sex with another girl, she was also a virgin. Just last week we had sex and now I'm beginning to notice bumps on my genital area, it's not inside, it's around it, I'm worried because I've been having all the symptoms of herpes, but I don't really understand. Can we make herpes in our situation? does the other person have to have it to get it?

In need of help or where I could get the answer to.. my doctor found a lump inside the vagina and rectum lining. I was told that they could not biopsy it because of its locations. I'm waiting to find out what we will do next. Its not painful at all.

don't be freaked out the only option this site gives for lumps on the labia is warts, women are also prone to cysts and swollen glands in this area, go see your doctor it sounds scary but will often put your mind at rest.

Im 37 weeks pregnant with my 4th child I think I might have this prolapse! there is a large lump/swelling at my vagina enterance which is not sore but when I go to the toilet I feel like something is going to fall out even just to urinate. I have had problems since my 3rd birth with a weak bladder and been doing pelvic floor exercises to no avail now its worse and coughing/sneezing/coughing causes leaks. I dont like seeing doctors about such things but im getting more and more worried as its feels close to falling out! Do you think this is the "prolapse" thing? Its towards the back and in the middle. Should I wait till after the post natal check to say or can they investigate now?

I just discovered a lump on the right lip of the vagina opening. Its the size of a marble and looks swolen and enlarged. However its not painful or causing any discomfort. My research suggest that its uterine prolapse as symptoms is similar. But I am not taking any chances and will seek medical help... Anyone with similar problem??? Any shall post my DR dignostics...

Dear Sir/Madam, I've recently been ill with a severe UTI which developed into an e-coli infection (first time I've ever had these type of infections). Two days ago I noticed two lumps on either side of my cliterous which feel like little glands. Should I go to the Dr and is it normal to get glands there?
