I took some pictures of my vagina to observe her better and noticed a very strange appearance. I'm worried because I dont know if this is HPV.

Can anyone help me? What do you guys think about that? Please, I'm desperate. I already scheduled a doctor, but only in two weeks and I cant even sleep right thinking about my condition.imageimageimageimage

    This looks like VP (vestibular papillomatosis). I personally developed some on my vulva after a yeast infection. My GYNO said its normal tissue some women get and its harmless. If you search the web it will show some pics of severe cases but they are all fine.

      Did you go to a doctor? What did he say? Because I saw on the internet that only 1% of women have VP 😦

      Dont be scared to ask your doctor ever they are there to help you. They have seen the weirdest cases so you just trying to get familiar with your anatomy is nothing. I would reschedule and just ask if its normal so you have peace of mind.

    girl!! 1% of women with VP? im pretty sure almost every woman has VP. if it was HPV- they would be cauliflour shaped & discolored. some women just have more growths on their vagina then others- every vagina is different. BUT- go to your gyno, because you will worry about it non stop unless you dont.

      Do you think this might have something to do with a frequent yeast infection?
