Discharge & Lumps in vaginal area
Hello,
Wondering if you can help me. My partner is approx 19weeks pregnant, lately she has been having alot of discharge causing itching and it making her very sore.
Also she has boil like lump appearing in the vaginal area, not sure if these are caused due to the above.
Is it normal for these things to happen?? What is your best approach in order to calm/prevent it??
Many thanks
Michael

Sorry to hear your partner is having some trouble at the mo.
I have had similar problems during my first pregnancy and my advice is for her to go and see the doctor. The boil like lump could be due to increased moisture or different skin conditions. has she had boils anywhere else? the only thing she can do is to keep the area as clean and dry as poss, avoid products like bubble baths and shower gels, and to place a hot flannel on the area a few times a day for half hr at at time to help draw poisons out. The discharge/itching sounds like thrush maybe so i would definitely go to GP.
I know from experience how painful and awful the boils can be so i really hope she feels better really soon.
Hope that helps, good luck with it

Thanks again - hope all is well with you. Michael x
I had the same thing at about the same time! I went to the GP and it was a blocked gland because of an increase in discharge. I had to have antibiotics but it cleared up straight away. Definately go tho because my doc said there was a risk of it gettin bigger and that means she would have to have it lanced!!!!! YAK!
Hope it gets better coz I know how uncomfortable it is!
