painful bump above vagina
Posted: 04-15-08 22:00pm

so i have discovered about 2 weeks ago, a hard small bump (maybe the size of a comma , ) on the left side of my vagina. i couldn't see it with a mirror, but i kept touching it, then it grew into the size of a pea and now my whole left side is kinda swollen (and hurts a lot) and now, there's puss and blood mixed coming out and i tried draining it. will it go away. is this some type of an std? please help!! i tried calling in the past 3 days to set up a doctor's appointment but the offices are always sending me to voice mail. i'm freaking out right now. can someone help??!!?

I don't know if it is an STD but it is some sort of infection. Apply warm compresses to the area. If you have drainage from the site note how much, color, odor, if blood is present and how often you notice the discharge in a 24 hr. period. Let your doctor know all this information. Keep the area clean and wash your hands thoroughly after touching the area to prevent spreading the infection.

If it is just one bump and is isolated to an area I am inclined to think it is a boil, pimple or some other type of infection. You should see your doctor. Leave a voice message for them to get back to you and why.

I hope you see your doctor soon. Let us know what you find out.
