I have had a painful lump inside my vagina, on the posterior wall for past week. It feels rubbery and is in the area where I would have had stitches after the birth of my son 9 years ago. I am wondering if I may have developed a keloid scar here? Is this possible after so much time has elapsed? I have had no trouble with that area until now? What else could it be if not related to scarring from childbirth? I am a midwife, so understand the physiology!
Hi, thanks for sharing your recent health problem with us! Well, I've gone through your description and can perceive the tension building within you; but truly speaking, if I were your treating consultant for this case of painful vaginal lump I would like to say you, not to worry! Yes, this is fairly a common occurrence in women of childbearing age! This is nothing but a Catholics cyst recently infected due to some region. It is a congenital cyst related to lateral vaginal wall and prone to get inflamed and cause lump and pain! This is not keloid!Therefore, please get a physical examination by your local gynecologist for confirmation and necessary treatments like antibiotics along with Chat Doctor. Hope you got your answer; please revert to us if any more queries on this/Wishing you good health!
