can a tampon cause a lump to form on the front of the vaginal wall?

Question

How can I tell if my tampon caused a laceration on the inside wall of my vagina?

Answer 1

Bartholins Abscess: Patients with cysts may present with painless labial swelling. Abscesses may present spontaneously or after a painless cyst with the following symptoms: acute, painful unilateral labial swelling dyspareunia pain with walking and sitting sudden relief of pain followed by discharge (highly suggestive of spontaneous rupture) you need an evaluation urgently by a physician.

Answer 2

Without symptoms: Usual rule is no itching, burning, or odor no treatment. Discharge alone can be normal.

Answer 3

Vaginal discharge: The vaginal discharge changes with hormonal monthly changes . Starting with your period then discharge becomes yellowish to a mucous clear discharge at midcycle. Post ovulation the discharge becomes whitish until you start bleeding again. None of these changes are associated with smell or itching or burning.

Answer 4

Need diagnosis first: A vaginal discharge is anything coming from the vagina that is more than the scant amount of normal mucous that healthy women have. A discharge that doesn't smell bad can still be an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria, or a mild infection with germs such as chlamydia (discharges get worse as infections get worse). A woman with a discharge should see her doctor to rule out various infections.

Answer 5

Need a diagnosis 1st: The most important step in treating vaginal discharge is to know what you are treating. There are many causes and treatment will vary. Tests may include std cultures, pH testing, testing for yeast and bacteria vaginisis and a microscope exam ( wet prep).

Answer 6

No symptoms: In the short term, if you have no particular symptoms (discharge, odor, itch, abnormal bleeding, pain, etc), there should be no reason to suspect any particular problem. In the long term, after age 21, women should have annual exams with a pelvic exam (including cultures, paps, etc as indicated) to assess and screen for occult problems.

Answer 7

Maybe: Vaginal moisture is typically due to hormone changes in the vagina or excess cervical mucus production. Occasionally there could be an infection causing the problem. Other factors could be involved including being overweight and wearing tight clothing. I would suggest speaking to a physician about this at your next visit to see if something can be done to change it.

Answer 8

Kegel exercises: If done properly, the so-called kegel exercises can help strengthen some of the muscles in the area. Learning about them from a magazine, a friend, an unregulated website is not the best approach. Seeing a gynecologist or urogynecologist is worth the effort to learn how and how often to do them.

Answer 9

Biofeedback: If not feeling like your getting anywhere with the kegels, biofeedback can be used to help augment your response. Sometimes reconstructive surgery if the tissue is particularly gaping, may be in order.

Answer 10

Kegel Exercise: Kegel exercises are the best way to stregnthen and sometimes tighten your pelvic floor. You can learn how to perform this properly with your gynecologist or pelvic physical therapist. In addition, a non traditional method would be to utilize vaginal beads.

Answer 11

Not needed : I can imagine a scenario where this would be a needed treatment for an 18 year old. Schedule a visit for an exam and to discuss your concerns.

Answer 12

Options: Exercising your vaginal/pelvic muscles is a good place to start. One non-surgical option is ThermiVa and this can be done in the office with no recovery. Surgery is always an option also so speak with a specialist if you decide on such.
