So worried - is this a prolapse?

[User183]

I am 35, never had kids.

Two days ago I suddenly felt uncomfortable when sitting, initially thought my underwear was bunched in a weird way but it wasn’t that. I’ve now realised that the left side of my vagina feels different. The lip feels bigger (fatter/swollen?) and lower and there is tenderness around the area where it reaches my buttocks on that side. It feels difficult to put my fingers inside to investigate, the entry feels smaller now?

I am constantly aware of it but when I am sitting it feels like I am sitting on a small balloon and it’s really uncomfortable. There is a constant pressure on the left side and it feels like the left side has dropped.

I have a GP appointment scheduled for next Wednesday but I am really stressing and just feel so worried. Why has this happened?

I think I feel worse as typically the next 4 days at work for me are my busiest yet where I have to be out and about, when all I want to do is be indoors trying to get comfortable

I would call 111 to describe the symptoms, see if you can get seen any sooner? Unless Can get appointments easily with your gp.
It could be infection if it hurts, normally a prolapse doesn't hurt.

Thank you for your reply, it doesn’t feel like a pain necessarily it’s more of a discomfort and it feels physically feels different. I’m going to see if I can get a sooner GP appointment and then if not will call 111.

Managed to rebook the appointment for Monday, tying myself up in knots as I’ll have to cancel my attendance at one of our works xmas do’s. We have two and I’m attending the main one so it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I just feel totally stressed. I’m trying to remind myself that my health is the most important thing
