I recently noticed that I have got a lump on my labia but to look at it looks like it has ripped and healed that way. I'm just wondering if that is normal?
I have just turned sixteen and have noticed a lump on the bottom of my vagina. Have been sexually active for 3 months now and does not feel uncomfortable in anyway am just not sure if i should get it checked out or if its nothing to be worried about as it has caused no problems.
hi I'm 16 and I have been sexualy active for 3 months after I started becoming comfortable having sex. My labia have become bigger I am wondering if I should see a doctor or not my mum would not approve if she found out so I cant let her know is there some sort of appointment I could make without her knowing or is this normal?? xx

Hello, I'm 17. I know my vulva is normal and neater than many others, but my ex recently commented about it to me, saying that it was not as nice as one he had recently seen,(even though he wasn't exactly hung like a horse). This upset me and I am suffering from a confidence crisis. I now have a new boyfriend, and hope this won't effect him as much as it did my ex. I just wanted to put this on here to get a bit of feedback. :)
