Understanding The Condition

What Are Vagina Lumps & Bumps?

These refer to any unusual swellings, lesions, nodules, or raised areas on or around the vaginal and vulvar skin. While many are benign, some may cause discomfort, discharge, or pain, especially during urination or intimacy. Causes range from infections (such as herpes or HPV), cysts, ingrown hairs, to skin conditions like lichen sclerosus.
