I recently visited my doctor 5/27 because i had discomfort in my private area, itching and sometimes a sense of burning after sex. thought it was a yeast infection, i have never had a yeast infection but i assumed it was that as I was at the same clinic 4/2 for a IUD checkup and std screening. My test came back negative for std's and so did my bf, as the same in 2019. We have manogomous . I went yesterday to the clinic for what i assumed was a yeast infection, and NURSE PRACTITIONER said "Looks like it could b genital warts". And just like that, didnt explain much, seemed so rush to give me medication and left. But i wasnt satified. I have never had an std. or abnormal paps. I have a a doctors appointment next week with my general doctor. And see if it could be something else. Also, my boyfriend has never tested postive for anything, nor does he have bumps or itching or redness...... I am freaking out because i dont want to believe it is genital warts.

hey i have this and have been back and forward to the doctors and gyno. they said it was vestibular papilloma someone else mentioned they said it was normal. my abusive ex was very rough with me and they said it can be from friction. i had the coil put in then i kept getting bv and now this. they are in the placement that hurts and swells with sex but the doctors wont do anything they dont recognise it causes pain even though i have cried explaining it they class it as cosmetic. i have even managed to tie a piece if string around one hoping it will cut off the blood supply. i know that sounds insane but i cant cope with it anymore

Oh thank you so much. I also have 3 kids and 2 episiotomies. (3rd one just ran out). lol. husband said it was normal but I was like it looks weird, like a ball hanging in there. I did notice it smaller before about a year ago and asked the Dr but now its bigger I'm going to ask her again .

I have the same thing/something similar and im really anxious about what it could be. i've never had any kids and i've never even had sex with anyone so i dont know what it could be. im too embarrassed to tell anyone and i've never been to a gyno before. What should i do???

im in the same situation! i think i first noticed them after having a yeast infection. idk if that was what caused them ... but its so embarrassing. and they look so gross. im a virgin too. did you see a doctor yet? im wondering if theres any way to remove them

you can get them removed, but it likely isnt covered by insurance depending on where you live. its hymenal remenants , can happen if they hymen breaks (which can happen whether you are a virgin or not) such as a tampon, finger, friction, or simply nothing. it doesnt take much! hope this helps ❤️
