Bump On Vaginal Opening
Hi all,
I've been sexually active with the same person for over 2 years. I've had other partners, but don't conisder myself promiscuous, I've been monogamous with any relationship. I've also had 2 children, and am completely embarassed to say that though I know my anatomy.. I've never really checked everything out on my own. My last several exams have been fine. But I have noticed about 4 or 5 months ago few tiny bumps on the bottom of my vaginal opening, where it meets the perenial area. They don't seem to get any larger or really itch or anything, and if i run my finger across them they amost feel flat. They are lighter than the surrounding skin, but I'm guessing moisture may be to blame for that, as they don't always seem to be. I also have noticed my labia is definitely not smooth (although everything feels the same) it's just maybe been this way all this time and i've not noticed. I did have stitches from tearing with both births, but I can't seem to find a lot of information as to how skin appears once it's healed. I can't say that it is or isn't HPV, and the more I read somehow the less I know as everyone's situation / outlook varies so. I am not really asking if I have it, I will find that one out fairly soon... I'm awaiting the appointment with the gyno, but am curious as to others' thoughts/ experiences. Thanks!

Thanks for replying! :) I'm waiting on my appointment, I wish I could know today, but, I don't believe it's going anywhere anytime soon. Sometimes the abundance of information on the internet can be a double edged sword, and I know that everyone is different. Thanks again!

Some bumps on the labia are normal, but its tough to say about the other bumps. Just make an appt with your doc, and get it checked. While you are there, ask for a mirror and have her point everything out, so you know what's normal. Don't be embarassed about it, lots of docs do this. :)
