      what was the condition you were told. or what are they. I have the exact same and was told its genital herpes, but ive never tested postive for anything, and my bf neigther nor does he have any bumps.... i was looking online and saw many doctors even cn give you a mislead diagnosis. I was seen by a nurse practitioner, i have a doctors appointment next week. I HIGHLY DOUBT its genttal warts.

    I cant tell in this picture but they are definitely either, vestibular papillomatosis or just fordyce spots. Both of which are normal and cause no harm... Sometimes these will get irritated and stand out more temporarily, and sometimes they grow, which is typical but this is usually when people will notice them for the first time and freak out. But completely normal, try looking them up on google!

      Unless you are refering to your hymen? Which looks normal and much healthier than id expect to see in someone with three children. lol

      ok so you think im ok? like i said my husband said he doesnt think anything is weird and he always examins my vagina lol but his ex gf was diagnosed with HPV which is common i know.. he said he didnt show up for it and i dont thibk i did either but maybe i do? but i just want to ease my mind and cant get in with an ob unless i travel about 2 hours ugh and the only other issue i have is my urethra i have had stretchinf done because i get uti every month i am now on daily 50mg of macrobid but i still have occasional symtoms without infection it runs in my family and i also have stage 3 kidney failure and weak immune system

      hmm, with the better imagine I am thinking that if its anything, they would be bartholin gland cysts. swelling or infections increase chances of getting these, as your gland ducts might get blocked... Do they feel fluid filled at all? These are usually painless but may be a little tender. They Usually go unnoticed unless they get big. Just like any benign cycst, they are not really a threat to health but you should still see a doctor. Definitely doesnt resemble hpv or any other sti to me.

      i dont think they feel like fluid flilled they are just really soft i just felt them and they dont feel like much just looked more alarming since i never look at myself down thete and my husband says they havr been there for a long time

      i have had a lot of swelling in my body at times since i was diagnosed with lymes and some medications im on my body is really sensitve

      the only issue ive found is most of them actually have a lot of sugar which i need to avoid.. maybe the supplements would work better? ive cut all juices and soda out of my diet i only drink water with my complicated uti issues

      they're not fordyce spots, which are more like goose bumps in nature. but what this in the pic are more raised and looks vestibular papillomatosis which is contagious if that's what it is even is.

      you need to drink real juice like juicy juice brand that is 100% juice no added sugar or preservatives.
