My vagina is bulging - what is it?

[sauvblanc]

This is the second time this has happened to me just after my period. My vagina(?) feels like it is falling down and I can feel it when I sit down. I also have quite heavy discharge. It did eventually go away the last time but should I be worried? Anybody out there have a clue?

go to your doctor please. hope you feel less bulgey soon

thanks was hoping to avoid that as everytime I go (hardly ever) I get a different doc.

prolapse?

I agree, see your doctor please

It sounds like it might be a kind of prolapse - if you google cystocele & rectocele, you can then see if any of the symptoms sound familiar.

If it's any of the above, pelvic floor exercises are the first step. And yes, you will need to see your doc.

Yes, think you're right, just googled and will go to doc. Feeling slightly unnerved/frightened. Thought this was an "old ladies problem" - 44!!

Try not to worry. Are you saying that you only feel it around period time and it goes away for the rest of the time? If so, I'd say it's probably mild. Still go to doc anyway. Know it sounds a bit frightening when you google it, but a lot can be done with pelvic floors.
