Huge lump inside vagina

[pearl07]

hi, i have found a huge lump inside my vagina and smaller lumps on my bikini line. i have had them for some months now only on the bikini line they kept disapearing and coming back, but the one on the inside is getting bigger and bigger. it only hurts if i press one of the lumps down hard and when i squeeze them yellow puss comes out. The huge lump inside my vagina makes sex uncomfortable only when the penis is first inserted. im worried that i may have an STI or cancer, but i have only ever had one sexual partner and so has my boyfriend and we have been together for a year and a half. Can any one help?

See a doctor for real diagnosis.  It could be warts caused by low risk HPV.  This is the good kind of HPV because it's always benign - in other words, doesn't cause cancer.  It's also very treatable.  You could also have a benign skin disease such as ingrown hairs.  HPV is very easy to get, you don't need to have intercourse to get it.  About 80% to 90% of all sexually active (this can include virgins that have oral or mutual masturbation) have HPV.  See a dr for real diagnosis though.  It could just be ingrown hairs too.  Whatever it is, it doesn't sound serious to me.

Hi, try not to worry.

The lump inside your vagina sounds like it may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. They are very common but you should see a doctor who will advise on treatment. The Bartholin's glands produce the lubrication in the vagina when we get turned on and they occasionally get blocked - a bit like having a blocked pore and a blackhead. I've had one and it cleared up by itself fortunately but it was scary when I first noticed it.
