Aug. 6th, 2004 11:00 pmI have a problem...i think. And there's no one I can approach with it...which is why i'm posting here.
Today, at work. I felt a strange like iching/ burning feeling in my feminie area. I thought it might just be that my tampon was in wrong. So i went to take it out. And as I did...i noticed bumps around the opening of my vagina. Like in it almost. They don't hurt when I poke them. They were never there before- i Know that deffinatly. They look just like regular fleshy vagina material...they aren't differnet colored. THey're like misshapen bumps under the surface of the skin. I looked at them with a mirror when I got home. It's like 1 bumb, that's shaped all weird. It's not bubbly.
It's almost like they're blocking the whole to my uterus.
I'm really really scared.
I'm not sexually active(i've never had intercourse or recieved oral sex)--I'm a vigrin. I'm only 17. A
I've never really had problems down there before. Except that the past year or so I've had excruciating cramps and back pain when I menstrate. I'm on the pill.
I'm scared it's something serious. Does anyone know anything? Should I wait it out and see what happens. Should I wait until my annual physical in 2 weeks? Should I talk to my mom (we're not really close it might freak her out, and it would be uncomfortable ..mui so)
HELP! I'm freaking out!
What are the chances I have a vaginal tumor? Or cancer? Or contacted an STD from a toilet!?
I'm so terrified.

If your insurance (assuming you have insurance) has a consulting nurse program, I would suggest calling them to get professional advice since you're so worried. If you can't contact someone over the weekend, call your doctor's office on Monday morning. In the meanwhile, taking a warm bath or holding warm wet compresses to yourself may help with any swelling or irritation.
I hope you feel better soon.

That sounds like my first yeast infection. In all honesty, you were probably irritated SLIGHTLY a bit before and just didn't notice. That happened to me, and by the time I finally noticed, oh man...I had the YI from hell, including irritated bumps.
I am not a doctor, however. See your doctor just in case. If this is your first issue, you should see a doctor no matter what we say.
