Bump on clitoral hood: tumor or growth? Posted: 03-24-07 12:42pm
I gave birth to my first child 13 days
ago. He had to be delivered using forceps
but apart from that everything was fine. I
had 3 tears, 2 inside and the 1 on the
outside - its an unusual place for a tear
to be - its above the vaginal opening,
just below my clitoral hood. However since
giving birth I have a lump the size of a
pea on the left of my clitoral hood. It
doesnt hurt and its the same colour as the
rest of my vagina. Almost like a growth.
Ive shown the midwife and she said she
thinks it will just go on its own -
however its been nearly 2 weeks ands its
still there. I dont like it and my
boyfriend said it was off putting so
obviously I want it gone before we start
having sex again. But what the hell is
it??? Im going to book an appointment with
my doctor at the end of the week if it
shows no signs of going. Any help would be
good, thanks.
It is not possible to diagnose a “bump
on the clitoral hood” without seeing it.
However, it sounds like you might be
experiencing a benign skin tumor, a wart
or something similar... but only a
gynecologist can give you an appropriate
diagnosis. You can make an appointment
with a specialist.
