Hi. i'm a 18 year old female. I was in the
shower a few days ago washing and i
relized it hurt. So after i got out of the
shower, (as dumb as it sounds) I got a
hand held mirror to look why. I then
realized i have a bump on my vigina it not
inside but it is like on the right side
inside the lip of my vigina.  I
dont no what to do i cant talk to my mom
about it and im to scared to go to the
doctors to figure out what it could be. I
dont want to find out that i have an STD
or something because i was raped not to
long ago but never reported it. Does
anyone no what it couple be, if so please
help me!!!

Yes, it is still there it may not be as
big. And it only hurts every once in a
while. Mostly when i touch or bump it.

It could be an std of some kind. You
should really get yourself checked out,
screened for everything. If you go to
planned parenthood or a family planning
clinic or even your family doctor it is
confidential and you can get full std
screening and an exam.
I know it's uncomfortable but it's
important for your health. Also, when
you're ready for a sexual relationship
with someone in the future, it's important
to know that you aren't going to pass
anything along to someone you love/care
about.
Some of the most common std's have no
symptoms but can cause permanent damage
(fertility damage) if left untreated.
Chlamydia is an example of one that is
extremely common, very often has no
symptoms, very easy to treat/cure but can
cause serious (fertility) damage if left
untreated.
If you're nervous about going alone maybe
a close friend will go with you.

Um, didn't you say that you were raped not
too long ago? Also, many stds have a
latency period where the person shows no
symptoms for months, or never even shows
symptoms.
Anyone who is having sex needs to go for
annual pap smears.

I had a very similar bump happen to me
once. It slowly went away and nothing bad
happened. It was rather painful for a few
days and I had to sit down a little funny,
but it did fade away.

I would wait a few days. Mine went away on
its own. So if yours doesn't then I'd talk
to your mom.

I think you should still go to the doctors
if you haven't had full std screening done
since your rape - for the sake of your
health and your future partners' health.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that part.
Definitely go get screened! It's very
important!

Is there any chance that it could just be
a boil? I've had them and they eventually
either burst or go away. Just to be safe,
go to your dr.

idk..i have similar bumps myself..they
don't hurt or anything..a few itched at
first ..weird..but i went to the gyn and
got a pap smear because i had just had sex
(with the same guy) for like the
gazillionth time..
no std's ..nothing..and they're STILL
there a few months later..i dont know what
they are..and my gynocologist wasn't too
informative either
so i can't help ya too much on this
one..just thought i'd throw that out
there..so ya don't freak like i did or
anything *althought i DO suggest you get
it checked out* the test isn't as bad as
you think..the wait is the worst part  its over before you
know it

Am I the only one that saw the 'I was
raped and didn't report it' part? Are you
serious? Why would you not report it?

Raped, No. Molested as a child? Yes. I'm
just wondering why you wouldn't report it?
I don't understand. Please explain....

Some people don't like sharing that sorta
stuff but you know the legal systems in
this world don't always work either! I
reported a sexual assault 3 years ago I
went through 3 4 hour interviews and had
to talk about every aspect of my life
things that had nothing to do with it, it
was really traumatic my life was put on
hold for 2 years, I was 7 when it happened
to me he also did it to 5 of my closest
friends ( all family) and guess what......
he got away with it he's still out there
doing this stuff to people. So If you
think you've got a strong enough case go
ahead report it you just may have a chance
of locking them up but if not do what you
have to do to get on with your life. I
cant believe someone would be judging
someone else for not reporting it. I
understand that you may be thinking she
could be preventing it from happening to
someone else, but thats not always true
anyway. Its not as simple as calling the
police and they go & arrest them IT
DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!

Okay first of all i want to thank you
jesticle for your story. I like to hear
people storys and knowing that im not the
only person its happened to. I probably
should have told someone but i didnt. My
parents know about it now and now that im
started to heal (kinda) ive been talking
to people about it so i can try to show
them just because you know a person doesnt
mean they are safe so becareful! i also
want them to know it happens around here
because sometimes when you see it on tv
enough its like oh thats scary glad it
doesnt happen around here but the scary
thing is, it happens everywhere, even
here!!! But i dont think i could win, so
im not going to try.
And second off.... to blulyneguy im sorry
to hear what happened to you. But all
people re-act diferent in these
situations. When i was younger watching
lifetime movies about woman being raped i
often said if any guy did that to me i
would go straight to the police but never
considering about the emotional impact it
has on you. When i was raped i didnt tell
a soul not even my best friend, that i
told everything too. I was embaressed,
blaming myself for what had happened, and
more scared then anything. I had no way of
getting away from my attacker. I had to
face him everywhere. School was the worst,
there was no getting away, isnt school
suppose to be safe, well it wasnt for me.
But im not going to get into the details
because i could go on for days, what i am
trying to tell you is just because you
think you would report it now, keep your
emotions in mind. If that makes any sence.
