Bumps on labia

[ddiana21]

I recently had a baby and noticed that during the last months of pregnancy I found that I have what look like blood bumps on both sides of my labia. After I had my baby the some of them shrank in size. I Know I should not have popped them, but I popped three of them. When I popped them a hard blood ball came out like a black head but of blood and the a lot of blood. I also noticed that in I have what looks like vericose veins right under the bumps. Could this be caused by the vericose veins. There are also other bumps that are not close to any veins. They don't look like warts given that warts cannot be popped. What could this be it is driving me crazy?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
What you have is probably a Bartholin cyst. On each side of the vaginal opening there are Bartholin's glands which secrete fluid to lubricate the vagina. At times their openings become obstructed causing fluid to accumulate in the gland, resulting in relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin cyst.
You can soak in a tub filled with a few inches of warm water (sitz bath) several times a day for three or four days. This may rupture cyst and which will then drain on its own. If this does not help, then please consult your gynecologist for incision and drainage.
Otherwise the bumps can be lipomas, blocked sebaceous glands or even small abscesses if the blood sugar was high during pregnancy.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please consult a gynecologist ASAP. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
