WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY VAGINA?

Q

I have a dragging sensation ‘down below’ and last night I had a look with a mirror. There’s a plum-sized pink lump at the entrance to my vagina. It’s quite soft, and I can push it back in, but as soon as I stand up it comes back out again. A

This sounds like a prolapse. See your GP, who will be able to confirm the diagnosis and discuss treatment options. These could include fitting a pessary, or an operation. If you opt for surgery, you’ll have to avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks and do exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
