vaginal bulge
I am 33 and have had 3 kids. A 9 8 and 7 pounders. last one over 3 years ago. I had a tubal right after last one. I also have pcos. A few months ago I felt a vaginal bulge that lasted a few days. Since then it has returned a couple of times for less than a day, but is back again and pronounced. I am at a loss of what to do. I read on a site to do kegals which I have done but am wondering if you can shed any light on this as it has returned.
Thanks for the advice. It feels better today not as uncomfortable. The cervix being low does make sense as this one happened about 24 hours after ovulating. However how low would the cervix hang because I feel this slightly bulging out of my vagina. Would the cervix go that low?
There are several things it could be. The cervix drops low in midcycle getting ready to 'pick up' some sperm, so you get pregnant. This can be felt as a bulge low in the vagina if you are used to inspecting your vagina.
It could be the pelvic floor bulging and this does need to have Kegel exersises done to help improve tone. They are not easy to do and take a lot of determination to do. I wonder if you are doing them correctly?
Also having large babies and long labour can cause the pelvic floor muscles to overstretch.
You can buy internal Pelvic Floor exercisers which give immediate feedback so you know you are doing them correctly.
I personally think it is probably your cervix being low down for the few days you are noticing. It could be a uterine prolapse but they tend to stay there not disappear as the cervix naturally does.
