Sent to Health Experts June 07, 2006 10:35 p.m.

I am a nervous wreck! I have what appears to the untrained eye to a polyp hanging out of my vagina. I also have slight itching and redness...After asking a question last night, a nurse confirmed that she thought my symptoms leaned towards a polyp. Here is my frustration...1- I was unable to get an appointment with my gyn today and 2- no where that I have researched says there is itching and redness in the vagina with a polyp. Could this be something more serious???

ACCEPTED

Hello

Try not to be nervous. This is probably a prolapse of some sort. I'd say that more than a polyp.

As far as the itching goes, if it is a prolapse and it is rubbing up against the vaginal wall, itching and redness are expected.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

I just had a baby in January and have been working out with a beast of a trainer. I had to stop for a few weeks because of intense lower back pain. Haven't been having the lower back pain lately...could these circustances have caused the prolapse (if that is what it is)?

Kerry-

I looked up pictures of varying prolapses...YIKES! While what I read seems to fit my symptoms...after looking at varying prolapses on line, I wonder if that is me. The organs protruding out that I saw were huge! What I have appears more like a tonsil. So could it still be a prolapse? And before I read your first response...I used some monistat cream thinking it would help my irritation and OUCH it made it much worse! So I know it isn't yeast!
