Growths inside

Hi, was going to namechange for this but what the hell...

I have had several abnormal smears, colposcopies and treatment to remove affected areas of cervix. I am due another appt in April where treatment will be decided.

However, lately I've noiced some 'changes' down below. Dryness has become a real problem, which is in turn causing grazes, cuts and bleeding from simply wiping after going for a pee.

I had a look in the mirror last night to see if there were any cuts and I noticed a 'growth' inside on the vainal wall. I looked more closely and higher up there are several more of these. They are flesh coloured, soft and look like skin tags but much bigger...I'd say about an inch and a half in length and I can actually hold one between my fingers.

I'm 43, and I suspect the dryness is another symptom of early menopause...I get night sweats and insomnia and have tried HRT but didn't like it so stopped.

ANy ideas. I have an appt later on today but wanted to ask opinions first.

They could be skin tags, caused by friction from dryness. How did you get on at docs?
