I went to the hospital for a lump that I felt in the walls of my vagina. I f I stood up too long or walk around to much, it would start aching really bad and I would have to sit down (slowly). The NP came in the hospital room, checked me out herself (felt around down there) and said I had an abscess. She said that it had to be drained or it was just going to get bigger, but not burst. I thought that she was going to get the doctor, but instead came back with an intern/student. She numbed me and started to cut and push. She cut me again and pushed some more. Then she cut me again, it felt like a paper cut, and pushed some more but harder. Ouch! My fiance was with me. He saidthat nothing but blood came out. There was no puss, no smell, nothing. She put a thin guaze in me and some larger white ones, told me to take a sitz bath, an that they were still waiting on my pregnancy test and left out of the room. My fiance is worried that she used me as a guinea pig. What should we do?

Hello, I'm 17, With a common problem with the bumps like you guys, but the bump i have on the left side of my vagina hurts very bad and stings. It would start out as this blister looking bump, and then grow into this big bump or pimple (whatever it is) and then it will pop on it's own. It gets puss in it, and it leaves little blood stains on my panties.When it did bust the swelling went down but, it's still there and hurts. I had it on the right side of my vagina before, and it went away..but, i'm curious to know what the hell are these bumps coming from, and what can i do to prevent? I can't even sit down without it hurting or stinging, i hate when my panties touch it, and when i walk i have to limp. I've only shaved my hair once before, a while ago, and i never got a bump after i shaved, it was smooth. And i'm not sexually active at all! And it lasts for like a week! SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

The pain got worst, so I went back to the hospital. I had fluid build up and possible meningitis. I had to get a spinal tap and they had to drain the fluid. They put me asleep for both processes. When I went on 12/02, the NP did not give me an ultrasound. She just went to cutting me open. Well she missed where she was suppose to cut, which caused the cyst to flare up. Can you say mal-practice?!? Thank God I am okay.

You should go to the Emergency room, if you don't have any money. Tell them what happened. They will bill you later. Some hospitals even have finacial aid to help with your bill. Just please go somewhere instead o trying to do it yourself. Better safe than sorry. God bless and good luck.

It sounds like your having an out break of some kind. As with any medication, if you get new symptoms or if your symptoms become worst, you must stop using the product and seek medical attention. You can go to the Emergency room if you have no funds. God bless and good luck.

Hi girls, i had a big lump on the outside of my vagina, went insane looking things up, tried the hot water trick, it didn't seem to work and got really painful so i made an appointment with my doctor for this morning, Surprise Surprise, it burst this morning in the shower, and it's practically gone! :) It was gross, so i recommend hot water on stand by girls! But you should always get it looked at after because you don't want it getting infected again!!! I'll porst what my doctor said today :)

To: all

Mine was just an abscess, Hot water does the trick, she said you do need to pop it and get the puss out, i was also given antibiotics to make it go away faster!! and pain killers to make it hurt less! :) hope this helps anyone who is suffering :) xx

Hi. Oddly enough, I had a really bad yeast infection once and when I scratched-- even through my panties-- I broke the skin just a tiny little bit and it got infected. It felt like a knot in the skin in the labia. It didnt hurt at all but it freaked me out. The doctor gave me a topical antibiotic to rub on it and told me to keep super clean and try not to scratch. Within a day the knot was much smaller and within two or so it was gone. Now when I get knots like that especially if I've been itchy for whatever reason I just use regular antibiotic ointment and they always go away. It was a knot sort of under the skin. Not like a pimple. But razor bumps and things can easily get infected too since it's a warm moist place. Icky but true.

you don't have to have an odor for it to be an infection having rough sex is with trigger that problem just get some monstat cream and it will help. or any kind of yeast cream

Hi im 18, and i started seeing lumps in the walls of my vagina a month after having sex with my boyfriend. At first i though it could not be a STD because we use condoms but im not sure anymore :(. The lumps appear around my period time and disappear a week after under the skin but they dont fully go away. Every month they reappear and its very painful, i have been ignoring it for a year now but its unbearable. I cant tell my parents and im really scared...please help me

HELP!!
i am 12 years old and i have now over about 6 months had 3or 4 lumps.

The first one was a long time ago and i cant really remember it.
The next one was on my right lip close the my leg and it was red, painful and has puss.
The next one was a while after and only went down about 3 weeks ago, it was on my upper leg very close the my "secret garden" and it hurt to walk or touch it.
after a while im not sure wat happened to it, it could of burst or blood just came out because it got small and blood would come out of it and it hurt so much to walk that i had to put a bandaid on it so my right vag lip wouldnt touch it and it wouldnt hurt anymore.
I had to keep putting band aids on it for about 2 weeks and then eventually it stopped hurting and went small, its still there but it doesnt hurt anymore.
AND now just yesterday i realised i has ANOTHER one.

This one is quite big and its red.
it has a weird brownish coloured thing on top of it and it hurts to touch.

Im really scared that there is something wrong with me!
i havent done anything sexual in any way besides masturabating (dont tell anyone).

There is some other stuff im not sure about that might have something to do with it but im not sure.

When i need the toilet for some reason i have no bladder control at all.

I have peed my pants twice since 2010 and when iu need the toilet on the way home from school a tiny bit of it just comes out and i have no control over it.
I dont know why and im worried it has something to do with the lumps and im quite scared!

Oh and one more thing......i had my first period earlier this year, i think it might have been january or something like that. but anyway after that one i had another one at normal time when i was supposed to and i havent had one since, and its now july.

I know that they say that your first few periods may be weird or iregular but its been like 4 months!

Anyone who can help me please do i dont know whats wrong with me and im too embarrased to tell anyone or go to the doctor so any help i can get would be much appreciated.

remeber im 12...

Hi, I need help. Fourth of July I noticed bumps on my inner leg right next to my vagina and it hurts really bad.. So I waited a couple of days and it grow.. The bumps are on both of my inner legs and even on my vag lips. I'm 16, and I'm scared to go see the doctor because well... I don't know what it is. I tried putting on neosporin.. It just burns even more. I put Vaseline and it helps the pain but that's about it. I really need you guy help.

you should look up bartholin gland cysts. they can occur at pretty much any age, regardless of sexual activity.

I get these every so often, it's awful painful. I had one about 6 months ago and had to have it lanced open, it was huge. It was awful!! She tried to numb the area several times and it hurt like hell! I have another one now and it started draining on its own and I called the dr for a scribt for the antibiotic that helps it go away. This is like my 4th one and my doctor says the only thing to do is not shave, but how could I do that!?!?! I wish I could get the hair permanently removed in that whole area!!!

i had the same thing tomorrow makes a week. For the 1st 3-4 days I wasn't sure what it was, and still not sure. I just assumed a Cyst or abscess and decided to look up Home remedies.

Tea Tree oil is a BIG help on draining your abscess/ cyst with out having to pop it.

I been using tea tree oil for 3 days and it has brought my extremely LARGE bump 95% down. It's barely noticeable but a Little swollen still.

I'm sure by tomorrow I will be back to normal.

To: Laura

Ive recently had a lump exactly like this. I went to my GP and was told its something called a Bartholins cyst. Minor cases can just be treated with antibiotics, however the more serious cases have to be operated on (i was the more serious case). They put you under a general anaesthetic and make a small incision and drain it. It is usually a day case however I stayed in over night. Anyway I just got out today, and have antibiotics and lots of painkillers. Apparently they are nothing to worry about but you do need to get it checked out.

:/ I have the same thing ... I try to be very careful about sitting and walking .
It hurts when i touch it and when I urinate it burns on the sides .. i think I scratched my self hard and caused it i always wear tight clothes and it gets humid down there so in a appropriate way / place i scratch since the sweat made me itch . Sometimes I feel like crying from the burning sensation. I've had it for about 2 days now , Im going to take a hot bath tmm morning see if it pops on its own .. I already showered twice today and even bought a feminine cleansing wash see if it helps.

Wish me luck :) if it continues to grow I'll go to a gyno by friday but hopefully its nothing serious , now I feel 50x more afraid to get anything else so Im going to be wayyy more cautious about my sacred place.

Two weeks ago I shaved and about last Thursday sometime I got a huge pimple like bump on the left side of the outside of my vagina lip. At first I thought it was a shave bump cause I've gotten them before. But then I burst it, it went away but came back that Friday not as big. But this week on Monday I burst it completely to get all the blood and pus out now it left a small open sore. I've been putting rubbing alcohol on it and it looks like its healing. But I'm super nervous about what it is. Help pleaseeee !

It's more than likely a shaving bump. Which is nothing more than a hair that has curled back into the hair shaft. You can squeeze them and they will pop but it is extremely painful. If you can't stand the pain go to your li. Health Department they will help you for free or at a minimal fee.

If you scald the bump it helps with the speed of the process.
