I just want to thank you for posting this. I have the same thing and have been freaking out because I was diagnosed with BV and yeast right before I noticed them. Negative for all common STDs but have been worried it could be HPV since this doesn't show up in men. going to my GP tomorrow. Do you have any follow up to this? I also have three kids and my last was March of 2018. mine are not painful or anything either.

I just went to my OBGYN. They are normal. She is actually going to remove them for me next week since I'm self conscious about them and insurance does cover it!

same!! thank you all for posting. I have the SAME damn thing and JUST noticed it for the first time a few nights ago. have been googling everything under the sun and too am only finding things like cancer!! called the doctor today to schedule an appt but waiting for a call back. I also have 3 children, my youngest was born in dec 2017. My significant other is currently in prison and I havent had intercourse since dec 2018 so I was thinking maybe they have something to do with not being sexually active for such a long period of time but thanks to you guys Im gonna rule that out. ahhhh these darn bodies of ours I tell ya!!! ill post what I find out after my appt.

I am so happy I found this and I am not alone! I'm a mother if 2, both vaginal deliveries. I am 39 now I gave birth to my 2nd daughter at 31. I did not start noticing this until about 3 years ago and it was only like 2 bumps. They do not hurt but make me so self conscious and embarrassed! They keep getting worse. I asked my gyno if I can have them removed he said it is normal, but i still do not think its normal.I hate it.

my wife has the same bumps. I notice them like 3 months ago. at the same time I found a lot of tiny bumps my glands I was tested for all stds all became neg. but I wasnt check for hvp. Im wondering if my bumps are related to her bumps. tomorrow she has Ob apointment. did your doctor tell you what are those bumps?

no he has nothing! My doctor says they ate completely normal!!! This was a little over a month ago. Seems like when i have sex now they get sore and enlarged for a few days. When this virus lockdown is over I'm going back and seeing if they can be removed because they are starting to get sore and irritated.
