Bump In Side Of Vagina Lip?
Okay, I'm a girl who is a virgin but I do check myself out down there and I discovered a bump between my vagina lip. I thought It was a pimple but its not. And When I squeeze it, it hurts really bad. Could this be a tumor or something. Oh and I will not go to the doctor right now.
i have a bump on mi virginal lip when its growing in it hurts wen i squezze it it hurts to i havent had 1 in like two months i dont know what it is im sexually active im 16 and i refuse to go to a doctor with any adult i kno
The good news is that tumors are both very rare (especially at your age) and are generally not painful.
Stop squeezing it before you cause a little bump to become a big, swollen owie. The tissue in and around your vagina is delicate.
You don't say whether you have started getting periods yet. Many women get little lumps on their labia at the same point in their monthly cycles every month. We can also get ingrown hairs (especially if your pubic hair is very curly or you shave it). Sometimes we get little pimples - they clear up on their own.
I have no idea what you already know, so please forgive me if I'm being silly. When you say "between my vagina lip" you aren't talking about your clitoris, are you? That is supposed to be there. Here's a link on female genital anatomy: http://www.coolnurse.com/anatomy.htm
Also, it is possible to be sexually active and still a virgin, so you have to consider the possibility of genital warts if you have ever had genital to genital, or oral to genital contact with a partner.
For now, you might try warm baths, leaving it alone and checking it again in a week. If it is bigger, more painful, or just not healing, tell an auntie, your mom or dad, or a close (grown up) friend and get to a doctor.
Good luck, take care of yourself. Good for you for keeping up with the changes in your body.
