Bruised like feeling around fanjo

[Claire2009]

I've no idea why, but it feels incredibly bruised, sore, walking like John Wayne like....

Period due?

Varicose veins?

Exciting bedroom action?

No lumps or bumps?

What on earth have you been up too Been swinging from the lampshades?

I actually have a giant bruise there and down thigh. Not nice

None of that!

Period not due for another 1-2wks, although that can vary! Varicose veins, no idea, but this is the last 2 days.

Lots of shagging? A cycle ride? If nothing obvious it could be thrush- hot weather can trigger it.

No lumps or bumps, just feels really sore, bruised.

Is it hot?

Enlarged Bartholin's gland? They can make you feel bruised.

Haven't rode a bicycle in years!
No shagging since March i think , am single.
Thrush, have had that before, no discharge or anything but bruise like feeling though?

Not hot. Bartholin's Gland, are they not more like a cyst? There's no lumps/bumps or anything, just feels tender.

Does the (ehem) area feel warm?

have you had a look?

Have you been a bit vigorous with the old ladygarden topiary? Ingrowing hair? Reaction to Veet?

You're going to have to have a look you know.

Doesn't feel warm, feels normal, had a look and looks fine! No different than usual anyway!

No ingrowing hair, don't use veet.

Right, well thrush can feel like this, especially if walking feels a bit uncomfortable. Sometimes it takes a day or two for the discharge to kick off. If you try some canestan cream in the morning and feel relief, that's your answer. Otherwise, GP for you milady!

I get this around period... think it gets dry. Or for a few days after sex.

Or general dryness - can you KY jelly it abit? I know the feeling you are on about... trying to think when I get it.

A gp will also check for varicose veins which ache and feel bruise like.

Thanks, will give it a couple of days I think & if no better Gp. I'm not overly dry down there & all is normal bar the bruise like feeling.
