      ive had these for a quite few years but not sure if they are getting bigger / worst or thats just my imagination , I go for my 3 yearly smear test with the nurse at the GP and she never says anything . last went a few months ago and no comment by her , but perhaps she wouldnt know ?? and need to see a GP ? wasnt sure if just really bizzare scar tissue from havimg children as had for forceps / episotomy etc

      I would have thought the nurse would have mentioned it if not right but you could ask just to put your mind at rest

    I they dont itch,bleed or cause problems with intercourse and are not sore they are probably Ok.Your nurse hasnt commented and she sees hundreds of vaginas per year so would know if something wasnt right. She would certainly suggest you saw your GP if she suspected something was wrong, or even call him/her into the room to have a look.

    It could be just scar tissue from the episiotomy,or skin tags that have developed.

    However,you are obviously getting doubts about it so do pay your GP a visit just to set your mind at rest.
