This is all a bit yucky, so sorry! (and long...)
Had first DS 3 months ago: home birth, all went really well until right at the end when I was told he had passed meconium and I needed to get him out fast - which I did, resulting in a 2nd degree tear. (Aside: he has a gigantic head)
Tear then got infected, so I was on antibiotics for a week.
All quite painful for a while, but seemed to be settling.
Then had a few weeks of yellowy discharge; nothing turned up on a swab, but was given metronidazole pessaries which reduced the discharge.
Then, while still using the pessaries, started to bleed a bit - thought it was my period, but (this is really horrid) when I put a tampon in felt something like a cherry just near the entrance. Really freaked out (was abroad at the time); even more so when on removing a tampon later that day the 'cherry' broke off! Was about the size of my finger nail, a bit flatter than a real cherry. Bled a bit, but that was the end of it, and on reflection I think I was probably bleeding from there all the time, not having a period at all.
Then, having a bit of a feel, I realised there still were two other little round blobs.
Anyway, I went to the GP after getting back and she says that they are vaginal cysts and not to worry: they will either go away or won't, and are benign.
The thing is: they're really close to the entrance, and may have been the reason why sex was proving a bit uncomfortable (haven't tried again since finding them). Am a bit uncomfortable all of the time down there anyway. And am just quite freaked out by these lumps anyway.
What do I do? Follow GP's advice and try and ignore it all? Go back and ask for a referral? Has anyone else had anything like this? What did you do??
