Drug treatment
To get rid of condylomas using a conservative method, antiviral drugs are used. Popular medications among consumers are Alpizarin, Lykopid or Podophyllotoxin. When prescribing such medications, the doctor takes into account the patient’s age, health status and individual sensitivity to the components. In combination with antiviral drugs, drugs to stimulate the immune system are prescribed: Cycloferon, Galavit, Immunofan. "Galaderm" is an ointment with restorative and healing properties that is applied directly to the growth.
Hardware treatment
Gynecologists recommend using hardware methods for getting rid of vaginal condylomas. Such treatment is not as long as medication, not as traumatic as a conventional operation, which is performed by a surgeon with complete excision of the condyloma, and, if necessary, with nearby tissues. Hardware techniques reduce the risk of relapse and leave no scars. It is carried out in combination with immune therapy under the supervision of a physician. The table provides descriptions of hardware methods.
Reasons for appearance
The main reasons for the appearance:
- decreased immunity;
- insufficient hygiene with profuse sweating;
- poor quality hygiene products;
- excess body weight;
- disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine system;
- dysfunction of the sebaceous glands (clogging of the sebaceous glands);
- hormonal disorders;
- stressful conditions;
- unprotected sex with casual partners;
- the presence of infectious and inflammatory diseases (chlamydia, vulvovaginitis, gonorrhea, etc.).
Causes of tubercles
Often, during intimate hygiene, a woman feels various changes in the structure of the tissues of the genital organs. Many patients are most interested in the question of why various neoplasms appear. Mostly such formations have the form of tubercles that appear on the neck of the reproductive organ. Such a symptom may indicate dangerous diseases occurring in the female body.
Experts identify some reasons that can trigger the appearance of lumps on the cervix:
- Nabothian gland cysts. Cystic formations on the cervix appear as a result of blockage of the glands located on the cervix. Nabothian gland cysts do not cause pronounced symptoms, so they can be identified only after a thorough diagnosis by a doctor.
- Surgical interventions and labor that cause tissue scarring. The growth of tissue indicates an organ injury, which ends in the appearance of a scar. In some cases, uneven scarring of the tissue occurs, resulting in the appearance of dense tubercles on the cervix. Mechanical damage to the uterine tissue can occur after a blow or sexual intercourse.
- Benign neoplasm. A small bump by itself is not capable of causing any harm to a woman’s body. At the same time, there is a danger that a small benign tumor may eventually transform into a malignant tumor. It is for this reason that when such growths are detected in a woman, experts recommend that they be removed.
- Erosion. One of the common reasons for the formation of a ball on the neck of the reproductive organ is considered to be erosion. Subsequently, it can develop into an ulcer and cause fluid discharge that contains blood. The main method of treating epithelial ectopia is cauterization. The insidiousness of cervical erosion lies in the fact that in the absence of effective and timely treatment, it can transform into a malignant tumor.
- Myomatous node. The cause of fibroids is considered to be the growth of the muscle layer located in the area of the cervix. The consequence of this pathological process is the protrusion and formation of a round pea, which can grow rapidly. In some cases, fibroids take the form of a pedunculated node that can penetrate from the cavity of the reproductive organ into the vagina. It is necessary to remove such myomatous formation if it tends to progress. The fact is that a tumor can cause infertility and prevent further pregnancy.
Major diseases
- HPV (human papilloma virus). A growth formed inside the female genitalia is medically called condyloma. The incubation period can last from 2 weeks to 3 months. During the formation of condyloma, a woman experiences itching, pain and burning. The mucous membrane may become swollen and red. The growths often emit an unpleasant odor. Untreated condylomas can cause cervical erosion, dysplasia and oncology.
- Lipoma. Wen is localized on the walls of the vagina and labia. Education occurs asymptomatically. The growth has an oval or round shape. There is no pain when palpated. If the lipoma is located outside the vagina, then when examining it, the woman will be able to notice yellow contents inside the seal. The patient is not recommended to squeeze the contents out of the seal, use burning devices, rip off the growth on her own, and take medications until a doctor makes an accurate diagnosis.
- Cyst. The formation of a vaginal cyst is asymptomatic and is detected during a routine examination by a gynecologist. When the growth reaches a large size, it can fester and make sexual life difficult (due to pain). The cyst is examined using colposcopy. The cyst has a round shape, and its structure is soft-elastic.
- Polyp. Characterized by a single growth in the area of the uterus and vagina. Multiple formations - uterine polyposis. If left untreated, polyps cause infertility. There are adenomatous polyps (grows in the mucous membrane and covers the inner surface of the uterus) and glandular polyps (formed from endometrial tissue and glands). Symptoms of formation: spotting and spotting during the intermenstrual period, discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse, nagging pain in the lower abdomen and menstrual irregularities.
- Genital wart. The growth causes discomfort, pain, and clings to underwear. The disease is transmitted through sexual and household contact. Condyloma has a pointed, papillary and flat shape. The base of the wart can be wide or thin. Papillomas are located on the labia minora and majora, mucosal walls, near the anus, in the groin and pubic area. Main symptoms: swelling, itching, redness, copious discharge with a pungent odor, possible bleeding, pain.
- Herpes. Genital herpes is a disease caused by herpes simplex viruses. The growths are filled with fluid and are localized on the thighs, pubis, anus, vagina and cervix. During the formation of a vesicle, the patient feels itching. After 7 days, the growth bursts, forming an ulcer.
- Haemorrhoids. The growth in this case is localized between the entrance to the vagina and the anus, and its shape resembles a nodule. Symptoms of the disease: varicose veins in the perineal area, pain in the lower abdomen, vaginal discharge, discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Types of growths are classified according to:
- sizes (small, medium, large);
- form;
- color;
- structure (hard, loose).
Formations can be located:
- Inside the vagina. The patient can observe this type of formation only in a photo taken during ultrasound diagnostics. Only a doctor can detect such formations during examination or palpation.
- Outside at the entrance to the labia, on the pubis, near the anus, on the thighs.
The formation occurs either asymptomatically or accompanied by burning, itching, and bleeding from the vagina.
A pea-sized lump is felt on the cervix - what could it be?
Some pathologies of the reproductive system are accompanied by the appearance of various formations on the cervix.
They can look like peas, bumps, bumps and growths. In some cases, they cause discomfort and pain to a woman, but this is determined by the reason that provoked their appearance. Lumps on the cervix may indicate dangerous pathologies progressing in the female reproductive system.
If a woman discovers even small lumps, she should seek advice from a specialist and not self-medicate.

Another common cause of a lump on the cervix is a polyp, which, like a tumor, can bleed. If this happens, it is necessary to remove the formation. Moreover, polyps can transform into cancerous tumors, so experts also recommend getting rid of them.
Generalized table:
Dangerous formations on the organ
Large lumps on the cervix may indicate cancer or indicate precancerous conditions.
Cervical cancer is one of the common reasons why women visit a gynecologist.
At the initial stage of its development, this pathology does not cause the manifestation of pronounced symptoms, so patients often come for medical help with advanced forms of the disease.
Very often, those tubercles and bumps that a woman palpates on her own turn out to be scars after destructive surgical treatment of pathologies and after childbirth.
A woman needs to pay attention to the following signs:
- the appearance of a lump on the surface of the cervix;
- vaginal bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle;
- pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Important : Cervical cancer can also begin to develop in girls who have not yet had sexual intercourse. The main cause of this disease is considered to be the papilloma virus, which can be transmitted through household contact. During labor, a child born from a mother infected with papillomavirus becomes infected when passing through the genital tract.
If a woman discovers a lump on the surface of her cervix, she should consult a doctor as soon as possible. Regardless of the type of pathology that caused the appearance of such a formation, a thorough diagnosis is carried out. The doctor carries out a thorough examination and collects data, and further examination and treatment will depend on their results.
On a gynecological chair, the cervix is examined by touch using mirrors, which allows you to identify growths. If endometrial polyps are suspected, additional methods are prescribed, since they cannot be identified using a routine examination.
It is possible to detect neoplasms of various types on the cervix using the following procedures:
- Collection and study of a smear, which is taken from the surface of the cervix of the reproductive organ. This test is considered quite simple and allows you to determine cancer.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs is considered one of the informative diagnostic methods, with which it is possible to identify growths on the cervix and thickening of endometrial tissue.
- Hysteroscopy helps determine polyps, their number and structure. To carry out this procedure, a special device is used, which is inserted into the uterine cavity. During hysteroscopy, material is taken for a biopsy, which is subsequently studied in the laboratory. Usually, a biopsy is resorted to in cases where there is suspicion of cancer of the genital organ.
- Metrography is a diagnostic method with which it is possible to determine the irregularities of the cavity of the reproductive organ and study the growths. This procedure is considered a kind of x-ray and involves the introduction of a contrast agent into the organ cavity.
A woman needs to remember that any lumps near the cervix can lead to relapses and degenerate into cancerous tumors. If a woman experiences relapses of the pathology, she should be under systematic medical supervision.
Prevention measures
The appearance of large and small peas on the cervix is possible in patients of any age, and this problem can be quickly eliminated thanks to diagnosis and effective therapy.
Important : In the absence of timely treatment, a small formation on the organ can cause infertility in women and miscarriage. In addition, a lump on the surface of the cervix often provokes malfunctions of the glands, hormonal disorders and even death.
Doctors recommend following some preventive measures that can help reduce the likelihood of tubercles appearing near the uterine pharynx:
- during pregnancy, follow all doctor’s prescriptions and recommendations;
- it is necessary to give birth only in a medical institution, and all ruptures must occur during protection;
- It is recommended to terminate pregnancy only if there are medical indications;
- you need to be vaccinated against dangerous types of papilloma virus;
- Visit a gynecologist at least once every 6 months.
It is important to follow hygiene rules, that is, carry out water procedures twice a day, change pads and tampons on time.
In addition, you need to avoid hypothermia, increase the body's defenses and avoid casual sexual contact.
If you have any suspicious discharge in the middle of the menstrual cycle, pain during sexual intercourse or urination, you should definitely contact a gynecologist.
: Cyst. Rescue from cysts and polycystic disease
From a topic on baby.ru:
I inserted a clotrimazole suppository and discovered a large, rock-hard lump, 5-6 cm, on my cervix. Who knows what this could be?? They write horror stories on the internet, I'm scared. I'm not going to see the gynecologist until tomorrow(((I still have pain and aching in my lower abdomen and lower back. Everywhere they say it's cancer, I'm afraid
https://youtu.be/KR6XPCcLyos
There may be a polyp

Asked by: Oksana Leonidovna Gender: Female Age: 39
Good afternoon. I have two small parallel (approximately 3-5 mm) convex lumps on my cervix. I've had them for 2 years now. They don't hurt, they don't bleed. Don't bother. Found it with my fingers. They are located on the side of the cervix, quite deep.
3 doctors could not see in the mirrors - deep!. Three doctors could only guess, just like you now.
Please tell me what this could be? And could these semi-convex formations be malignant? Can malignant lumps appear in this area of the cervix? The fact is that three days ago I had erosion removed by radio waves.
And now I put out candles with sea buckthorn and Hexicon candles. I am afraid that if the cones have (or may have) a malignant environment, then sea buckthorn suppositories can (I assume) cause increased division of the bad cells of these cones. I'm really looking forward to your answer.
Hello! I don’t quite understand how you feel them, but the doctors can’t see them. Strange. These bumps can be nabothian cysts or papillomas or condylomas. In the latter case, you need to get tested for HPV. To determine malignancy, only a biopsy can be done, but they need to be seen
Elena Viktorovna, the doctors and I can only feel the bumps with our fingers. They don't see them in mirrors - they are far and deep. Therefore, doctors DO NOT see them, but only feel them with their fingers, just like me.
There is nothing strange in this, that the four of us (three doctors and me) can only feel them with our fingers - they are located on the cervix very deep, and not on the external os of the cervix in the field of view in the mirrors. But, in principle, you confirmed the opinion of the doctors - that they can be Nabothian cysts.
Could there be cancerous tumors in this place instead of these lumps? That is, I understand correctly, Elena Viktorovna, that nabothian cysts can be not only on the external os of the cervix, but can also be located deep on the sides, correct?
You argue with me so “competently” :) Even with capslock from time to time :) For me, this situation is incomprehensible and there is just something strange about it. Because you can examine not only what is visible, but also what is not visible. There are tools for this in the arsenal of specialists. You need to biopsy these lesions.
Under ultrasound control. The sensor MUST see this. And you won't have to guess. Nabothian, or retention cysts (Latin name - ovuli naboti) are small round whitish-yellow or white benign formations on the cervix, which are located in its vaginal part.
Because if it’s deeper, then it’s not them.
Thanks for the answer. But, in your opinion, what could it be? And could they be a malignant manifestation of any process on the cervix? The doctor will definitely do an ultrasound as soon as everything heals after cauterization of the erosion.
I will go to my favorite oncologist with 40 years of experience after the erosion is cured. I would now like to know the assumption that this could be other than nabothian cysts.
At the beginning you decided that these were nabothian cysts, in the second letter you refuted your opinion, so it could be on the side of the cervix, located in the middle of the cervix along the length of the uterus? Thank you.
It is unlikely that we can talk about malignancy. The fact is that malignant processes in the cervix begin externally, that is, with erosion, for example, leukoplakia. Plus, in almost 100% of cases they cause contact bleeding after sexual intercourse, for example.
I assumed Nabothian cysts, because it is not entirely clear where these formations are located. After your clarification, I understand that it is very unlikely that it is them. Other options are polyps, cervical canal fibroids.
Such formations can be easily differentiated using transvaginal ultrasound. Wait a little and you will stop guessing.

Treatment options
- To eliminate HPV, the patient is prescribed a comprehensive treatment consisting of drug and device therapy. Drug treatment includes taking antiviral drugs (Alpizarin, Lykopid, etc.) and drugs that stimulate the immune system (Cycloferon, Galavit). It is recommended to apply ointments with restorative and healing properties to external growths.
- Elimination of lipoma in the vaginal area is often carried out using surgery (excision with a laser or radio waves). If there is a slight compaction, a specialist may recommend injecting a substance under the skin that causes the growth to dissolve. But in this case, there is a risk of incomplete dissolution of the lipoma or relapse.
- Cyst treatment is carried out surgically.
- Polyps are eliminated surgically. We will use a polypectomy method, in which the polyp is unscrewed and the wound site is cauterized with electric current. Radio wave surgery is also recommended.
- Treatment of genital warts is a difficult task, since no universal drugs have been invented to completely stop the virus. Some medications can reduce viral activity, but doctors often recommend surgery when making a diagnosis. Drug treatment is effective in 70% of cases, but there is a high risk of recurrence of the disease. In conjunction with surgical treatment, the patient is prescribed immunomodulators (Cycloferon, Laferon, etc.).
- To eliminate herpes, it is recommended to take antiviral drugs and immunomodulators.
- Hemorrhoids can be eliminated both conservatively and surgically.
Hardware treatment methods:
- Laser therapy. The formations are dried and removed using a laser. The procedure is effective even for large growths.
- Cryodestruction. The growth is frozen with liquid nitrogen. The process can be carried out several times until the source of formation is completely stopped.
- Radio wave destruction. The growths are removed using radio waves, which avoids the appearance of scars.
- Electrocoagulation. The appendix is exposed to electric current.
Removal of growths (warts, papillomas) using traditional medicine methods:
- Celandine juice. Problem areas are treated with celandine juice up to 3 times a day.
- A mixture of oils. For the mixture, take 5 ml of tea tree oil and 5 ml of olive oil. The composition is applied in a thin layer to the growth; after 15 minutes, wash off with warm water.
- Castor oil. Treatment of growths occurs up to 2 times a day.
Bartholinitis: causes, symptoms, treatment
Bartholinitis occurs due to poor hygiene, urinary tract infections, and genital infections. If not immediately, an abscess may occur. Pus will accumulate in the area of the labia minora, then treatment will take a lot of effort and time.
Bartholinitis is eliminated surgically by opening the abscess. After this, antibacterial treatment is carried out to prevent relapse of the disease. In addition to pus, a cyst (fluid accumulation) can form during bartholinitis. It is also removed surgically. After the operation, the patient is prescribed a diet, and hygiene procedures must be followed. Antibacterial drugs are prescribed.
If you see a doctor in time, you can get by with antibiotics and physical therapy. In combination with treatment prescribed by a doctor, traditional medicine methods can be used. So, you need to make baths from infusions of chamomile, calendula,... Also good are lotions made from brewed leaves of nettle, yarrow, and black elderberry. They also make lotions from baked onions. The onion along with its peel is baked, then crushed, and placed in a bandage or gauze. The lotion is applied to the sore spot. Under no circumstances should you open an abscess yourself; this can lead to even greater infection.
To prevent the disease, you should maintain good hygiene, visit a gynecologist, and strengthen your immune system.
After childbirth, growths in the vagina
Growths in the vagina may turn out to be scars.
They are formed as a result of ruptures.
Ruptures are often observed in women after vaginal delivery.
If the deep layers of the mucosa are damaged, even suturing the damage can ultimately lead to scarring.
These scars can cause discomfort in the future.
Pain appears during sexual intercourse.
These growths inside the vagina can be removed surgically.
Laser, electrocoagulation, and radio wave removal are used.
The procedure is painless because infiltration anesthesia is used.
What are these - tubercles on the cervix
Some women, when carrying out hygienic procedures, may feel a tubercle on the cervix, let’s try to figure out what it is. It’s worth saying right away that such formations are far from uncommon, but in most cases they do not pose a threat to the health and life of the girl.
Medical opinion in this regard is ambiguous. Some experts argue that therapy is necessary, while others, on the contrary, assure their patients that regular regular monitoring is sufficient. In some situations, a tubercle on the cervix indicates a serious illness, but not many people know how to determine this. Therefore, the topic should be disclosed as completely as possible.
Symptoms
Often after childbirth, girls develop lumps on the cervix, what this is can be explained by the doctor after a thorough examination of the patient.
Such situations are a common occurrence for those who had this process with certain complications, for example, there were tissue injuries, then scars formed, and it is in these places that the cervix will be lumpy to the touch.
In the absence of pain, discomfort and other unpleasant sensations, such formations do not pose a danger.
However, if a lump on the cervix, a photo of which can be viewed on specific resources and ultrasound images, bothers a woman, pain appears when pressing on it, and it also rapidly increases in size, an urgent consultation with a doctor is required. Almost any gynecological disease, if treated at the initial stage, can be easily eliminated.
Polyps
A neoplasm on the cervix may be a cervical polyp. They are some kind of growths of the mucous membrane of the cervical canal. Its main symptom is the sensation of a tubercle on the surface of the organ. As for the frequency of diagnosis, a lump on the cervix the size of a pea (slightly larger or smaller than this size) is detected in women during menopause.
https://youtu.be/qwdICcqyh7s
Doctors assure that such a tumor on the cervix is benign, but if you do not control the process of its vital activity and do not carry out proper treatment, you may miss the moment when it begins to transform into a malignant formation. This is what colposcopic images look like for a benign cervical tumor (shown below).

We will also consider the factors under the influence of which polyps form on the reproductive organ of women:
- Inflammatory and infectious diseases of a chronic nature, including cervicitis, adnexitis, endometritis, venereal pathologies;
- Hormonal imbalance - in this condition, the functioning of the ovaries is disrupted, which often leads to an increase in the level of estrogen production, and progesterone, in turn, decreases, as a result of which the mucous membrane of the organ thickens and a tubercle appears on the cervix, a photo of which can be seen in the article;
- Injuries to the mucous membrane of the cervix of various etiologies: abortion, curettage for medical reasons, complicated childbirth;
- A neoplasm on the cervix can be a consequence of stressful situations, constant overexertion, depression, psycho-emotional shock;
- A lump on the cervix may appear as a result of pregnancy, diabetes or dysbiosis in the vagina.
Many women are interested, having noticed that they have a lump on their cervix, what it could be - with a high probability we can talk about the formation of a polyp.
In this case, a frequent accompanying symptom will be copious discharge of secretions from the vagina mixed with blood in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
It is possible that the leucorrhoea will change its character, it may become gray with an admixture of pus, pain appears in the lower abdomen and lumbar region.
A small ball on the cervix can cause a woman to feel pain or discomfort during intimate contact. As for menstrual bleeding, they also change their character, become long and profuse, and the development of infertility cannot be ruled out.
Cyst
Having felt the tubercles on the cervix, every woman is interested in what they are. Gynecologists say that this may be a cystic formation. The fact is that on the surface of the organ there is a mucous membrane containing Nabothian glands.
Thanks to them, mucus is released, which acts as a protective barrier against pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms.
If there is a malfunction in the reproductive system, the duct becomes clogged, fluid accumulates in it, the pathological area swells and a cyst forms.
It is not enough to feel a formation on the cervix, what it could be, and what the reasons for its appearance also need to be considered. So, following medical data, experts identify the following reasons for the development of cystic formations:
- The period of healing of the genital organs after labor;
- Infectious lesions of the reproductive organs;
- Menopause.
If there is a lump on the cervix the size of a pea (photos can be seen in the article), they do not show any signs. However, they gradually increase in size, as a result of which the woman begins to feel discomfort in the lower abdomen and pain during sexual intercourse. The same symptoms are present in malignant formations.
Oncological diseases and growths in the vagina
Cancer of the vulva or vagina is one of the causes of large growths near or inside the vagina.
These formations may look different.
Some women complain of a dense, cartilaginous growth in the vagina.
In other cases, only erosion is detected.
Such erosive growths at the entrance to the vagina are very dangerous.
They may indicate that the tumor has begun to disintegrate.
At the same time, subjective sensations are noted.
This is pain, burning.
Quite pronounced swelling may form.
Papillomas and warts in the vagina in women, causes and treatment
Properly caring for the intimate area of a woman’s body is not only about following the rules of hygiene.
Taking care of the female genital organs is a healthy way of life, because many different diseases affect this area of a woman.
Most often, the infection that provokes the development of diseases enters the body through sexual intercourse, so you need to take care of the intimate area and protect yourself during sex to avoid papillomas in the vagina.
The information on the site is for informational purposes only; we ask you not to self-medicate, but to make an appointment with a doctor for an examination! Women can live for years as carriers of the papilloma virus and not even realize it. The most common problem for women (in the intimate sense) is warts in the vagina.
What do papillomas in the vagina look like?
Papillomas in the vagina in women are small formations that have the shape of a cockscomb or genital warts.
Most often, warts appear due to the human papillomavirus.
Warts can also be papillary, elongated, with an average size of 1 to 8 mm . Sometimes they can be flat. If they appear not one at a time, but in a “bouquet,” the wart resembles a cauliflower. Women do not immediately notice them, since warts in the vagina can often have no symptoms. And this is why they are dangerous. Only a gynecologist during examination can notice their existence.
https://youtu.be/tsJIWLjPHso
If papillomas are at the entrance to the vagina, they can be identified by touch when washing. Sometimes warts can itch and hurt. We recommend that women examine their organs themselves. This can be done using a mirror; it is better to lie on your back.
Reasons for appearance
Warts near and inside the vagina often appear in women who do not protect themselves during sex and whose partner is infected. The human papillomavirus is transmitted both sexually and through contact with the skin of a patient.
In modern medicine, several factors are identified that contribute to infection of a woman’s body:
- Have many sexual partners;
- Often endure stress, depression, anything that affects the nervous system;
- If the immune system is not functioning well;
- During pregnancy and lactation;
- If you have bad habits (smoking, alcohol or drugs);
- uncertainty about the health of the partner.
When papilloma enters the bodies of women, the vaginal papillomavirus actively affects the organs of the genitourinary system. If complex therapy is not carried out in time, the wart can develop into a malignant one.
Symptoms
If there are no symptoms of the problem, this means that the woman rarely turns to the gynecologist for help and examination.
Sometimes papilloma that progresses can lead to the following symptoms:
- Severe burning and itching in the vagina;
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse;
- Discharge (possibly bloody, more often after sexual intercourse), discomfort;
- Swelling of the intimate organs and redness of the mucous membrane;
- Failure to defecate if a wart appears in the anus;
- Urination is impaired.
Treatment options
There are several methods for treating growths in the vagina in the form of hanging warts and ordinary papillomas.
Medication
In drug treatment, it is best to choose antiviral drugs to suppress HPV, namely rectal suppositories.
The labia and vaginal walls can be treated with the aerosol preparation Epigen.
Previously, doctors recommended that women lubricate warts in the vagina with oxolinic ointment. This remedy is not currently used due to insufficient information confirming its activity.
Virus papillomas are often treated with a whole range of medications. They have the following properties:
- Cauterizing;
- Bactericidal;
- Oppressive.
There is also a component that helps prevent the development of warts and papillomas in the vagina. Sometimes antibiotics help women in this situation, but the main thing is to understand which ones.
Doctors identify the following basic means to combat papilloma:
- lapis pencil;
- pills;
- drops;
- ointments.
Effective drugs include:
- Feresol;
- Phenol in glycerin solution;
- Salicylic acid;
- Cryopharma.
Women also use drugs with general effects, which can increase the immunological status of the body.
Surgical
There are a couple of types of treatment for warts in women:
- Chemical coagulation. It is carried out under the influence of such drugs: Solkovagin, Podophyllin.
- Cryodestruction. Effective if small areas are affected.
- Electrocoagulation. Occurs using a laser (radio knife or excision with a scalpel). Prescribed only for extensive lesions.
Features of removal in pregnant women
One of the reasons for the formation of papillomas in women is the proliferation of the epithelium.
Warts can affect pregnancy outcomes in different ways. This virus does not pose a danger to the mother and her child, and the disease rarely causes pain.
Among all the shortcomings is the unaesthetic appearance. There is a possibility of warts growing and multiplying. But papillomas do not always appear in one form. Several warts may grow in one area.
Women are prohibited from trying to remove existing papillomas and warts on their own, much less using folk remedies.
Doctors say that if a wart that appears during pregnancy does not hurt, does not irritate and does not have signs of infection, it cannot be removed before the birth of the child.
Why are these neoplasms dangerous?
A wart can cause various diseases, such as:
- Cervical erosion.
- Dysplasia.
- Malignant formations.
Can papillomas go away on their own?
Sometimes papilloma can go away on its own, if the female body has a strong immune system, you need to ignore the influence of many provoking factors.
Growths in the vagina due to mechanical damage
Mechanical irritation can cause a growth at the vaginal opening.
It may be caused by:
- administration of Betadine suppositories or any other
- too rough sexual contact
- medical procedures
- depilation
- independent use of various devices with intravaginal administration (Kegel exercisers, pessaries, etc.)
The growths themselves on the vaginal mucosa are scars.
It could also be elements of a rash.
They arise as a result of inflammatory processes in those places where damage has occurred.
Diagnosis of the pathological condition
A woman can often detect a lump in the labia on her own, but in order to find out the nature of such a formation, it is still necessary to contact an appropriate specialist, that is, a gynecologist.
During the history taking, the doctor must conduct a gynecological examination of the external genitalia using a special chair and a magnifying mirror.
During this procedure, the doctor evaluates the condition of the pubis, anus, labia minora and labia majora. In addition, the gynecologist pays special attention to the presence of any neoplasms and the structural integrity of the skin in the intimate area.
Expert opinion
Knyazev Igor Vladimirovich
doctor
The examination is based on palpation (feeling) of the following anatomical structures: the clitoris, the external opening of the urethra, the labia minora, the entrance to the vagina, the anus and the large glands of the vestibule.
If the patient has leucorrhoea (liquid discharge), a sample is additionally taken, after which it is examined under a microscope (cytological examination). If necessary, the uterus and its appendages are examined.
Instrumental diagnostics
Instrumental diagnostic methods are also used to diagnose pathological formations in the vagina. The main ones are:
- lymphography (studying the condition of the nodes of the lymphatic system with the aim of possibly detecting cancer cells in their structure - metastases, which can, along with the bloodstream, enter the lymphatic tissue from other internal organs). The procedure is done using intravenous injection of a contrast agent into the lymphatic vessel. Its movement is then monitored using x-rays;
- ultrasound examination of the pelvis. Today, ultrasound is considered the safest diagnostic technique. During its implementation, the condition of the human genitourinary system is assessed. This procedure has virtually no contraindications and therefore can be used under any circumstances. However, ultrasound scanning is not recommended during menstruation, since at this time the indicators are somewhat distorted, which will significantly complicate further diagnosis;
- computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic organs. Such diagnostic techniques represent layer-by-layer scanning of anatomical structures and are non-invasive (that is, they do not require direct penetration into the body of the subject through the skin or mucous membranes) and highly accurate procedures. In addition, if the lump on the labia is of a malignant nature, the patient will be prescribed an additional consultation with an oncologist.
Condylomas as growths in the vagina
Very often, the growth between the vagina and anus is a condyloma.
In another way, these formations are called anogenital warts.
Their appearance is caused by the human papillomavirus.
These viruses enter cells and damage their DNA.
As a result, their too active division begins.
The papillary layer of the dermis grows.
Characteristic growths form around and inside the vagina.
Infection occurs through sexual contact.
The incubation period can be quite long - several months.
As the wart grows, unpleasant subjective sensations may occur.
Active inflammation often occurs.
The tissues swell, itch, and sometimes cracks appear.
Then growths appear in the vagina, which gradually increase in size.
How many there will be and what size depends primarily on the state of the immune system.
The most severe lesions are observed in immunodeficiency diseases, including HIV.
In this case, the number of condylomas can reach hundreds, or they acquire enormous sizes.
But for most women these are single formations.
In the future, the virus can leave the body on its own.
Although the condylomas remain.
Their spontaneous disappearance is observed in no more than 20-30% of cases.
Moreover, this happens after several months or even years.
Therefore, most people simply have to remove them in a medical clinic.
The papilloma virus can be dangerous.
Because some types increase the risk of malignant neoplasms.
Photos of seals on the labia in women
Bartholinitis
Inflammation in the Bartholin gland causes pain on palpation and walking. The cause of the disease can be either a sexually transmitted infection or a bacterial outbreak in another part of the body. For example, a bad tooth, inflammation of the tonsils or cystitis. But most often, pathogens penetrate through microdamages due to insufficient personal hygiene.
The disease smoothly flows from one stage to another:
- A seal forms on the outer lips, usually only on the right or left side.
- After 4–5 days, the hard ball begins to hurt, especially when the girl wears tight underwear or tight-fitting clothes.
- The labia swell and swell, causing pain and burning.
- Sometimes the tumor spontaneously opens, and the purulent contents come out.
- Without treatment, the pathology becomes chronic. A constantly recurring disease will remind you of itself throughout your life. Often the gland becomes inflamed during periods of decreased immunity and rampant colds, during pregnancy, and vitamin deficiency. It is possible that a Bartholin gland cyst may develop, which will have to be removed surgically.
The whole process is accompanied by symptoms:
- increased temperature;
- general disturbance of health;
- weakness.
In addition to opening the purulent cavity and draining it, antibacterial drugs and multivitamins are prescribed.
Diseases that can cause the appearance of seals on the lips
In some cases, a seal on the labia is a sign of a benign tumor or even oncology:
- fibroma is a lump localized mainly in the submucosal layer of the vagina or in the thickness of the labia majora. Formed from connective tissue, hard or soft to the touch, oval, with a smooth structure. Therapy is exclusively surgical, and the prognosis for recovery is favorable;
- fibroid is a mobile, elastic tumor consisting of muscle fibers in the area of the labia majora or vagina, not fused with the surrounding tissues. Surgery is also required to remove it;
- fibromyoma is a benign neoplasm characterized by the simultaneous presence of signs of the previous varieties;
- Lipoma is a small nodule of fat cells located near the vulva, on a dense stalk. Soft to the touch, surrounded by a capsule, mobile. The disease is complicated by hemorrhages, infections, swelling and tissue necrosis, therefore the lipoma must be excised;
- myxoma - formed from the remnants of mesenchyme (embryonic cells, rudiments of connective and muscle tissue) under the skin of the labia majora or pubis, more often in older women. The benign formation is also removed;
- hidradenoma - areas of hardening that occur due to increased activity of the sweat glands. Multiple nodules are symmetrical, oval or flat in shape, pink, yellow or brown in color, located in the upper part of the skin;
- oncology - a seal on the labia minora or in the vagina, accompanied by copious discharge of pus, mucus with an unpleasant odor, bleeding, and accumulations of diffuse cellular elements. Even if you consult a doctor in a timely manner, the prognosis of the outcome of the disease cannot be predicted;
- hemangioma is a congenital anomaly of the development of blood vessels and mucous membranes of the genitals. This is a bluish or red spot, slightly raised above the surface of the skin, which, when enlarged, can spread to the internal genital organs - vagina, uterus. The tumor is removed using destructive methods, and radiation therapy is often indicated;
- lymphangioma – formed from lymphatic vessels in the area of the inguinal folds. The nodules are small-tuberous, merging with each other. The tumor grows slowly, rarely becomes inflamed, and its treatment is exclusively surgical.
If the formation that appears does not go away within 2-3 days, increases in size and is accompanied by pain, a mandatory visit to the gynecologist is recommended.
Sometimes it happens that a woman completely unexpectedly notices a subcutaneous lump on her labia majora or minora, most often painful. It can be a sign of various gynecological diseases, so if you have the slightest suspicion of discomfort or foreign tumors, you should consult a doctor.
In some cases, a lump that appears on the labia may be an ordinary pimple as a local reaction to an external irritant. Over time, this compaction goes away on its own.
Bartholinitis
It is necessary to exclude the presence of such a serious gynecological disease in a woman as bartholinitis.
Bartholinitis is an inflammatory process that occurs in a special Bartholin duct as a result of a sexually transmitted infection, less often in the case of an infection in the tonsils or dental diseases. If a woman has a lump on her labia, a common reason for this formation is insufficient adherence to the rules of personal hygiene, as a result of which pathogenic pathogens invade the body.
Symptoms of bartholinitis
If the disease is advanced, then a hard formation on the labia can be quite painful, and a tingling and burning sensation is also felt in the area of the lump. As a rule, when you press on the seal, the pain intensifies.
In addition, the following symptoms may be observed:
- the seal grows to the size of a chicken egg;
- at the site of compaction, the skin is red, often has a bluish tint;
- there is a high body temperature and fever that antipyretics cannot cope with;
- chills;
- there is a general loss of strength, lethargy, and apathy.
In especially severe cases, the pain reaches such a degree that the woman cannot walk normally.
If the seal on the labia does not prompt the woman to start treatment and consult a doctor, then over time the abscess may spontaneously open. In this case, the woman temporarily experiences relief. However, the disease itself remains, as a result of which relapses may occur in the future. The disease itself can become chronic, which is more difficult to treat due to its neglect. If the disease progresses, then the formation of a cyst in the area of the labia minora and majora is possible, which requires surgical intervention. Often the presence of a cyst can make it difficult to perform physiological functions (urination, defecation).
As a rule, treatment of seals in the Bartholin gland is carried out in a hospital under round-the-clock supervision of medical staff. This is caused by the need to open a purulent neoplasm and in order to exclude an abscess and other complications, it is important to monitor the woman’s condition every three hours. During the period after treatment, it is necessary to especially carefully monitor the hygiene of the genital organs in order to prevent the entry of pathogenic microbes into the body. It is recommended to do sitz baths with the addition of a weak solution of potassium permanganate, chamomile or eucalyptus decoction.
Treatment of seals in the labia with folk remedies does not have a therapeutic effect unless it is combined with the parallel administration of antibiotics (tetracycline, ofloxacin) and antibacterial agents (for example, betadine).
It should be remembered that if there are any seals in the pelvic organs, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner, even in the absence of pain symptoms or visible signs of disease, since it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat its consequences.
If a lump is detected on the labia minora, you should contact a gynecologist as soon as possible. The reasons for this problem may be the following.
- It could be an ordinary abscess, or, simply, a pimple. Small ones also have skin, although it is very delicate. As a result of sweat, bacteria, or minor damage, an abscess may form. In this case, you can make anti-inflammatory baths using infusions of chamomile and yarrow.
- The resulting compaction may be an indicator of some kind of inflammation, for example, inflammation of the Bartholin gland. The Bartholin gland is responsible for supplying a woman with the right amount of moisture. If the gland becomes inflamed, then over time its paths and ducts become blocked, and a seal forms, causing discomfort. When compacted, it swells more, causing pain. The pain intensifies in the cold.
Genital herpes near the vagina
Genital herpes is an infection that is sexually transmitted.
It causes the appearance of growths in the vagina, the causes of which are viral infections of the skin and mucous membranes.
Bubbles containing clear liquid appear.
The pathology is accompanied by burning and other unpleasant sensations in the problem area.
General intoxication symptoms often occur.
A woman's body temperature increases.
Symptoms of genital herpes go away even without treatment.
Although this takes one and a half to two times longer than when receiving adequate antiviral therapy.
Such growths in the vagina are especially dangerous during pregnancy.
Because herpes is one of the most unfavorable viruses for the fetus.
It often causes spontaneous abortions or congenital deformities.
Homeopathic treatment
Homeopathic treatment for lumps on the labia will also depend on the identified disease.
- If this is inflammation of the Bartholin glands, then (Belladonna)
or
(Mercurius solubilis)
. These drugs relieve redness and swelling of intimate organs, eliminate suppuration, and help shrink lymph nodes. - For bacterial vaginitis with discharge, itching and burning of the genitals, it is recommended (Kalium bichromicum)
. This remedy eliminates pain and helps healing in complex diseases and inflammations of the skin and mucous membranes. - For vaginal discharge with a sharp, unpleasant odor, Kreosotum
. This remedy eliminates burning sensation in the vulva, between the labia, in the vaginal area and removes discharge. - A drug
Every woman, having discovered a lump on her labia, begins to worry greatly. And first of all, immediately contact a specialist. And this is the right decision.
The lump may be painful. In any case, consulting a doctor is necessary, since the cause of this phenomenon may be different. Most often, a lump on the labia can be a symptom of bartholinitis.
Treatment most often involves surgical removal. After removal, antibacterial therapy is mandatory, thereby stopping the further development of the disease.
Sometimes it happens that a woman completely unexpectedly notices a subcutaneous lump on her labia majora or minora, most often painful.
It can be a sign of various gynecological diseases, so if you have the slightest suspicion of discomfort or foreign tumors, you should consult a doctor.
In some cases, a lump that appears on the labia may be an ordinary pimple as a local reaction to an external irritant. Over time, this compaction goes away on its own.
Growths in the vagina due to sexually transmitted infections
With STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis), inflammatory foci may also appear.
Some women call them growths.
The cause of infection is unprotected sexual contact with the source of infection.
The vaginal mucosa swells.
She is red and painful.
Symptoms of these infections appear after an incubation period.
With gonorrhea it lasts 5-7 days.
With chlamydia, it can last 2-4 weeks.
Without adequate treatment, these infections become chronic.
In the future, they can lead to complications, including infertility.
Symptoms
Often after childbirth, girls develop lumps on the cervix, what this is can be explained by the doctor after a thorough examination of the patient. Such situations are a common occurrence for those who had this process with certain complications, for example, there were tissue injuries, then scars formed, and it is in these places that the cervix will be lumpy to the touch. In the absence of pain, discomfort and other unpleasant sensations, such formations do not pose a danger.
However, if a lump on the cervix, a photo of which can be viewed on specific resources and ultrasound images, bothers a woman, pain appears when pressing on it, and it also rapidly increases in size, an urgent consultation with a doctor is required. Almost any gynecological disease, if treated at the initial stage, can be easily eliminated.
Tests for growths in the vagina
The doctor can identify some types of growths in the vagina after just one examination.
But in any case, tests are necessary.
They allow:
- establish the exact reason why a growth appeared in the vagina
- carry out differential diagnosis
- confirm the diagnosis, even if it was established after examination
- clarify the diagnosis (for example, determine the type of HPV when condylomas appear)
The tests allow you to choose the optimal therapeutic tactics and assess the risk of possible complications.
In addition, they give the doctor 100% confidence in the diagnosis.
What tests will be ordered depends on the clinical examination data.
Different pathologies are diagnosed in different ways.
To diagnose molluscum contagiosum, skin scraping with microscopic examination is used.
The doctor sees mollusc bodies in the sample.
They are inclusions in the cytoplasm of cells.
If condylomas are suspected, a test with acetic acid is first performed.
It allows you to differentiate condyloma from other formations.
Then PCR is performed.
The material used is skin scraping.
PCR allows you to find out which type of HPV caused growths in the vagina.
This is important for determining prognosis and therapeutic tactics.
Because some types of viruses are not dangerous.
While others can cause cancer.
If highly oncogenic types of HPV are detected, the woman is placed under dynamic observation.
She comes to the doctor for examination every six months as long as the papillomavirus is in her body.
If sexually transmitted infections are suspected, PCR is performed.
Smears from the urethra and vagina are used as clinical material.
Thanks to PCR, it is possible to identify any pathogens, including herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
In the case of a nonspecific infectious process, a tank is cultured.
Antibiotic sensitivity is determined.
Antibacterial treatment may be prescribed even before test results are received.
But in the future the doctor may change the regimen.
Diagnostic methods
Often, tubercles on the cervix do not manifest themselves in any way; they can be detected through regular self-diagnosis and examination by a doctor. But if a woman feels a lump on her own, then a visit to the antenatal clinic cannot be postponed, especially if its appearance is accompanied by pain, copious, foul-smelling discharge mixed with blood and pus. Acne on the chin and lower cheeks may indicate the presence of serious gynecological problems. Skin manifestations such as acne are considered a sign of increased production of male sex hormones. Acne is not always just an external cosmetic defect.
You should not self-medicate, since the appearance of lumps on the cervix can be due to very different reasons; only a specialist can identify them only after examination and thorough diagnosis.
Basic diagnostic methods:
- examination using mirrors to identify growths, bumps,
- examination of a smear from the surface of the cervix to detect malignant cells,
- An ultrasound of the pelvic organs is performed to identify the degree of thickening of the endometrium, the presence of lumps on the cervix,
- hysteroscopy allows you to identify the presence and number of polyps, their size, take tissue analysis for biopsy,
- biopsy of cervical tissue,
- colposcopy in an extended version is necessary to determine dysplasia, ectopia, leukoplakia and erythroplakia.
Any type of lump on the cervix may reappear after removal, depending on its type. Thus, polyps, Nabothian cysts, and fibroids often recur.
Very often, those tubercles and bumps that a woman palpates on her own turn out to be scars after destructive surgical treatment of pathologies and after childbirth.
Growths in the vagina: drugs and treatment regimens
For different pathologies, different treatments are used.
In most cases, growths in the vagina can be removed using conservative therapy.
For herpes, acyclovir is prescribed.
For nonspecific inflammations or bacterial STDs - antibiotics.
For pediculosis pubis, treatment with permethrin is prescribed.
For some viral diseases, such as molluscum contagiosum and condylomas, there are no specific drugs.
Therefore, treatment regimens consisting of immunomodulators and general antiviral drugs are used.
They help reduce the viral load.
As a result, there is a possibility that the growths will disappear.
Although in most cases they have to be removed by laser or electrocoagulation.
Then immunomodulators are prescribed only to prevent the re-formation of rash elements.
Should my partner be treated?
Most growths in the vagina appear as a result of infectious causes.
It could be herpes, papillomavirus, molluscum contagiosum, etc.
Therefore, in such cases, the sexual partner most likely has the same disease.
He needs to be treated at the same time as the woman.
Otherwise, re-infection will likely occur in the future.
And then all the results of treatment will go down the drain.
In some cases, there is no need to treat your partner.
After all, growths can be caused by mechanical injuries, allergies, burns, and nonspecific inflammations.
Such pathologies are not contagious.
Similar diseases are unlikely to be detected in a partner.
Kinds
Vulvar condylomas have their own classification. Condylomas in women on the labia, papillomas on the vulva and condylomas in the internal passage of the vagina can be as follows:
- hyperkeratotic growths - such a wart is characterized by the presence of an upper keratinized layer, their location is predominantly in the area of the external genitalia;
- typical formations appear in areas of the epithelium with high humidity, similar in appearance to broccoli;
- papular - have a smooth surface, small in size;
- flat - have clear edges, do not rise above the epithelium or epidermis.
Complications with growths in the vagina
If left untreated, complications may occur.
Papillomavirus can cause cervical dysplasia.
In the future, it can develop into cancer.
With nonspecific inflammatory diseases, local and general complications are possible.
Local ones include the formation of an abscess or phlegmon.
Sometimes the abscess breaks into the blood, and then bacterial damage to other organs occurs.
With sexually transmitted infections, cases of infertility are common.
Reactive arthritis – inflammation of large joints – may develop.
To protect yourself from complications, consult a doctor in a timely manner and undergo a course of therapy.
Ball on the cervix
Some diseases of the reproductive system, as well as hormonal imbalances in women, can provoke tissue modifications and the appearance of various neoplasms in the form of balls and tubercles on the cervix. Most often they are discovered during a gynecological examination of the cervix or during self-examination.
Causes
Lumps or balls that appear on the surface of the cervix can have different origins. They can be painful or not, be the result of a serious illness, or not cause any harm to the female body at all.
A ball on the cervix may appear for the following reasons.
- Cyst. In this case, a tumor in the form of a ball is formed due to blockage of the nabothian glands located in the walls of the cervix. This disease is asymptomatic and is detected only during colposcopy.
- Benign formations are cervix polyps. In this case, the compaction poses a threat of malignancy, and therefore requires prompt diagnosis and removal. Most often it is formed due to hormonal changes in the body.
- Cervical fibroids. In this case, a small lump or nodule forms on a stalk, which is an overgrowth of muscle tissue. This tumor is removed because it can interfere with conception and the normal course of pregnancy.
- Malignant tumor. The most dangerous cause of the appearance of a ball on the cervix. The main type of treatment is usually surgical removal followed by chemotherapy.
- Scar. Compaction can occur after surgery or difficult childbirth, when tissue ruptures and subsequent scar formation occur. Uneven healing of the injury site can also occur after mechanical damage, injury or rough sexual intercourse. In this case, damage occurs to the mucous membranes of the cervix and disruption of the integrity of the integumentary epithelium.
- Papillomatosis. Papillomas in the form of a ball or tubercle arise due to the persistence of the papillomavirus. Depending on the type of HPV, the doctor determines treatment tactics. Papillomas initiated by HPV with a high risk of carcinogenesis pose a health threat and require removal with parallel antiviral treatment.
- Erosion. This is another reason for the appearance of a ball or bump on the cervix. In this case, the mucous membrane is damaged and an ulcer appears.
In order to accurately establish the cause of the ball on the cervix, its structural features and size, it is necessary to undergo a whole range of diagnostic measures.
Diagnostics
If you find any lump or bump on the walls of the genital organs at home, you should immediately consult a doctor.
A gynecological examination of the cervix is the first and one of the most important stages in the diagnosis of a number of diseases.
Using special instruments, the doctor can examine the lump, determine its approximate size, location and other external characteristics. After this, the following types of studies may be prescribed.
- Taking a smear for cytology. This allows you to obtain preliminary information about whether the tumor is benign or malignant.
- Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs. Using this method, you can determine the location of the ball, which is a nabothian cyst or fibroid, and identify other structural changes in the cervix.
- Hysteroscopy. The procedure is carried out using a special instrument - a hysteroscope, which allows you to study in detail the structure and morphological features of polyps, fibroids and other formations. In addition, the method allows you to take a small section of tissue or mucous membrane for further study of the cellular composition.
- Metrography. The principle of the method is similar to radiography, only in this case it involves the introduction of a contrast agent into the uterus. With the help of this study, you can obtain data on the relief of the uterine cavity, identify all the irregularities, balls and growths.
- Extended colposcopy will identify ectopia or dysplasia.
After detailed information about the ball on the cervix has been received, the doctor prescribes the optimal and most effective treatment.
Treatment and prevention
The type of treatment is prescribed depending on the initial cause of the ball on the cervix and the degree of pathology.
The most commonly used methods are laser removal, treatment of the tumor with liquid nitrogen, and exposure of the affected area to radio wave radiation.
In the initial stages of the disease, as well as in case of hormonal disorders, the gynecologist may prescribe the use of appropriate hormonal and antibiotic medications, multivitamin complexes and agents that enhance the regeneration of cervical tissue.
It is important to understand that the method of treatment also depends on whether the girl gave birth or not. Some methods, such as cauterization using an electric loop, are strictly contraindicated for girls. After the procedure, a scar remains on the surface of the genital organs, which can interfere with normal conception and pregnancy.
To prevent the ball from reappearing on the cervix, a number of rules must be followed.
- Use barrier and hormonal contraception methods to avoid infection and unwanted abortion.
- Regularly visit a gynecologist for timely detection of tumors.
- Observe personal hygiene rules.
- Have a measured sex life without frequently changing partners.
Compliance with these recommendations is a good preventive basis not only for the appearance of cervical tumors, but also for the development of most diseases of the female reproductive system.
Balls on the cervix can have different causes. Timely consultation with a doctor and diagnosis of the problem are the key to successful treatment of cervical diseases.

Guest, thank you very much for your answer! I wish you good health and more. Tell us, if possible, in more detail about your symptoms. Have you had cervical deformity, enlarged anterior-posterior wall and microhematuria? Even after the first bleeding during PA, one smart uzologist told me to demand a referral to the RDV. But my gynecologist said that this can provoke the growth of fibroid nodes. ((((Now, of course, I will do it. True, we only do the usual RDV, without optical control. Or look for a hystero? Girls, did the oncogynecologist tell you before receiving the test results about any suspicions? What do they even say in such cases? I wish everyone health and only good news!
Tell me, do shooting pains radiating to the buttock occur with such a diagnosis? Closer to menstruation.
Girls, a week ago I visited a gynecological oncologist about bleeding during sexual intercourse. The doctor did a colposcopy and tested for atypical cells and HPV. He said that the cervix was deformed after childbirth and was gaping. There are “many vessels” on it, and they bleed. There was also blood during colposcopy. A week later I go to the appointment again, it’s very scary, I think about it all the time. The lower back has been hurting for a long time, often radiating to the left leg or somewhere in the rectum. On ultrasound, the anterior-posterior size of the uterus is increased to 61 cm. There are fibroids, but they are small. I went to free doctors for a year, they only questioned fibroids and aenomyosis. They didn’t do the RDV. The gynecological oncologist did not explain anything. Strangely silent. How dangerous is cervical deformation after childbirth? I was given xr for many years. I think there is still inflammation of cervicitis. I've been cauterizing the erosion for more than 10 years, and now there are numerous cysts there. How dangerous is all this? And further. My tests are good, except for hidden blood in my urine. Has anyone had this happen?
I’m shocked that the gynecological oncologist didn’t explain anything to you! He is obliged to do a biopsy before the colposcopy and tell everything! If everything is fine, sleep peacefully, but if anything happens, time passes! Hang in there, pray. And one more thing: everyone who was treated with somna is ALIVE! Good luck:)
Today I had an appointment and without further ado I was given a conization. Currently the diagnosis is ectropion.
Girls! I'm very scared. I have a lump on my cervix on the right side. Today I felt a tumor in the vagina on the right side. It pulls a little and radiates to my right leg. What could it be? I'm really scared.
Girls! I'm very scared. I have a lump on my cervix on the right side. Today I felt a tumor in the vagina on the right side. It pulls a little and radiates to my right leg. What could it be? I'm really scared.
Girls! I'm very scared. I have a lump on my cervix on the right side. Today I felt a tumor in the vagina on the right side. It pulls a little and radiates to my right leg. What could it be? I'm really scared.
I was also terrified six months ago, when I felt a “ball” on my neck, I also had bleeding from PA and my back hurt. But, thank God, everything is fine in this regard, they did conization. There was just a slight dysplasia and the cervical spine was turned out after childbirth, it was very deformed, everything healed incorrectly there.
I go to her every time and to no avail! He says that first you need to cure the inflammatory process and then do colcoscopy! But how long can inflammation be treated? It’s also scary because time passes and I seem to be inactive, and I also have HPV type 16! I started having pain in my lower abdomen, so much so that I couldn’t stand up! Having sex also became very painful! Tomorrow I’m going to see the doctor again after another treatment, let’s see what he says this time? Maybe he’ll do a colcascopy after all! Health and patience to everyone.
