Just noticed large lumps inside Vagina... rugae?
I just noticed this a week or so ago, so I am not sure if it is new or if I haven't noticed it before.
I am 17, and not a virgin, but not currently sexually active. I don't have a planned parenthood nearby, and I don't have the money to go to a doctor without need, so I'm hoping someone can help me before I freak out any more about this.
How big are the rugae supposed to be?
Inside of my vagina, on the top wall, there are weird folds and 'bubble' type things. They aren't painful and are fleshy and pink. They are huge though... I can pull them outside of my vagina, to where they cover basically the whole hole. When I stretch my labia, instead of a dark 'cave' of a hole, the top half is fleshy and the hole is small.
I can't find anything online, and I'm afraid these are some kind of harmful growths. I've tried to find pictures, and most look normal... they don't have the blockage I seem to have in my vagina.
Is this just a personal issue or can it be something harmful? I don't know if rugae can be this large or if it is something else. I thought at first it might be skin tags, but there are so many of them, it seems unusual.

I am also very concerned, I seem to have the same issue. It is almost to the point where these fleshy swells can be seen without stretching open my labia.. Is it really normal? My Dr. Said it is normal especially for women who have had natural child births (which I've had) but it raises concern for me because it almost resembles and mild case of HPV. I brought this to the attention of my OB/GYN whom also said this is normal that all swabs/pap test have come back normal and that I shouldn't worry about it! But I understand what you mean I always remember my vagina looking like a dark tunnel whenever it was stretched open to take a look and now it appears that my vaginal opening is completely blocked up by these fleshy lumps which fold over one another. If anyone gets any further info regarding this concern please post. I will repost after I get a second opinion from a new OB/GYN.
I just went to the doc today for the same thing and she said it is completely normal they allow the vagina to stretch for sex and childbirth.
When I put my finger in my vagina deep I can feel to bumps I'm super scared. I'm 34 no kids my cycle is very irregular. Help?
I have it also, or atleast similar. I'm 31, but am married, and have had 5 kids. My vagina is no where smooth. It's got lumps of flesh everywhere, infact when you enter my vaginal hole it's like going through a maze of lumpy tissue to get to my cervix. I'm not sure if it's normal, the last pap-smear I had was 3 years ago, but no obgyn has ever said it was abnormal so I'm assuming it is normal. I've read that everyone is different inside and outside, down there.
Do you have any other vaginal symptoms?

did you ever find out if it was just rugae or something that was cause for alarm? I just found the exact same thing and also do not have money to go have it checked out. I am freaking out, esp with how common hpv seems to be.
