Back of Throat

I have noticed 3 lil gland like bumps in the back of my thoat behind my vulva. Is this normal? It doesn't hurt or anything. I am just worried if anyone else has them?

Whitish pockets around the Uvula are often a positive sign of Strep Throat. A simple swab test at the Doc will tell.

I'm not quite sure what the bumps could be, but suggest getting them checked out if they are bothering you.

When making the appointment with the doctor, you might want to tell him/her that it's in your throat alone and NOT behind your Vulva.  Your Vulva is the external genital organs of the female, including the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and vestibule of the vagina.

Just thought you'd like to know that before asking people to look behind your Vulva to see the bumps.  hehe- Could be quite embarrassing.   I'm sure you meant to write Uvula. (that is in your mouth/through I believe)

Good luck to you.  I hope it turns out to be nothing of concern.  It does sound like glands, though you will probably want to get it checked out just to be on the safe side.

Keep us posted.
God Bless!

Throat. They don't hurt. They are small pea size. I just think they are glands of some sort. I was just wondering if anyone else has them?
