I have the exact same problem you are talking about - the burning,itching, and rough spots that are almost like a rough canker sore on the vulva. After a year of treatments for yeast infections that didn't help and all my sexually transmitted tests came back negative my doc finally did a biopsy of the vulva where the sore spot was. It tuns out I have lichen sclerosis. She prescribed "clobetisol" which is a cream. It doesn't cure the problem but it will treat the symptoms and make it much more tolerable. Hope this helps!
I too have HPV. Was only diagnosed after the birth of my son. I kept getting low grade abnormalities on my papsmear so they did a colposcopy to check this out further incase they missed something and that is where they found the warts in my cervix. They told me they will more then likely disappear and I have to have another papsmear in 6 months. I had my colposcopy in April07 and I since m/c identical twins on 31st August 2007. I want to continue trying for a baby. I also m/c twins prior to the pregnancy of my son. I have been told that HPV is ok as far as getting pregnant and doesn't affect the baby, is this correct? Should they be getting rid of the warts now that I am not pregnant, or is it ok to continue trying to get pregnant? Oh and I am 32 years of age if that helps. Would appreciate any response you might have to put my mind at ease. I am at loss as to why I keep miscarrying, especially twins.
Kind regards

HPV (warts) can flare up during or after childbirth for no unknown reason. HPV is a virus that lives in the body, sometimes undetected for months. Men tend to be carriers of the virus but don't often show outward signs (visible warts), women are more likely to develop warts.
There are many strains of the HPV virus but at least two of the strains are of greater concern to women because they can lead to cervical cancer. The good news is that pap smears usually diagnose HPV and the cervical wart can then be removed before it leads to cervical cancer.
The most important thing you can do for yourself is to get a pap smear right away if you haven't already. If the pap smear results come back normal request that your doctor send you to a specialist for further, more thorough testing, and the end result should be that you have the wart removed as soon as possible.
HPV is highly contagious via sexual contact, and is the most common STD. It is not a standart test to check pregnant women for HPV. But it is standard to have a pap smear during pregnancy.
Also, warts on the outside of the vagina tend to be bumpy or raised with a cauliflower look and texture. Check out pics by searching Google and you will get a good idea if that is what you have. Skin tags have a similar look and feel.
Check with your Doctor, he/she should be able to tell you if it is a wart.
Just had a check-up related to back pains but the doctor said that they need to rule-out some OB issues. So a doctor examined me and said that I have warts in my cervix. I was confused since i'm not sexually active and the last intercourse that I had was last March. Also, I only have 1 partner since 2005 and he's the father of my 1yr old son. My question is, do OBs tend to see if the pregnant patient has some sort of warts inside the cervix? Because this confuses me since I had regular check-ups with my OB until I gave birth and didn't mention about this.
Please help.
Thanks!
Dear Doctor,
I have a large fleshy bump on my labia. I just finished a series of yeast infection treatments as well as vaginitis treatments. The bump came out of nowhere one day, it hurts if my pants rub on it, and it also feels like a small ball when i grab it. It does not appear to look like a wart, but then again im not sure. please help.
Hello,
I have seen a chronic yeast infection result in plaque like formations on the vulva that look similar to coalescing warts. One way to be 100% sure (which I did in my patient) is to have a small biopsy of the involved tissue taken and looked at by a pathologist.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
