VAGINAL BUMPS: Five reasons why you have them!

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Are you surprised to see those bumps? Do you feel like something is wrong? Is it itchy? Do you wonder why these bumps and pimple like spots do occur often a d what seems to be the cause?

The truth is, most women get bumps down there. They are very common and nothing to worry about, but in most cases, they could be a sign of other health conditions. In this blog post, we will discuss five reasons why you might have vaginal bumps.

First, let’s talk about what bumps are. Bumps can be small or large, flesh-colored or red, painful or painless. They can be filled with pus or fluid. They can be itchy or not itchy. They can appear on the vulva, vagina, anus, or in the creases of your skin.

Read on, while I walk you through five reasons why you do have bumps down there.

1). Having bumps on your vagina could be a result of the "HAIR REMOVAL METHOD" you practice.

Bumps can occur after shaving, waxing, or epilating i.e due to the particular genital hair removal method you use. The hair can grow back into the skin, causing bumps and irritation. If you notice bumps after hair removal, try switching to a different method or more comfortably you can trim it.

2). Bumps could be a result of "SCABIES". Genital bumps could also be a sign that you have scabies, which is a skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin and lay eggs. If you have scabies, you will notice a rash of small bumps that are extremely itchy. If you think you may have scabies, see a doctor for treatment. 

Symptoms of scabies include intense itchiness, rash, and bumps

3). In some cases, bumps may be caused because you are having an allergic reaction to a "FEMININE PRODUCT" that you use such as new soap, lotion, detergent, Pads, or Tempon. If you notice bumps after using a new product, stop using it and see if the bumps go away.  You may be allergic to them that's why your skin is reacting.

4). Bumps could also be a sign that you are having a "SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS STI" such as Genital warts, Genital Herpes, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea can all cause bumps.

5). Lastly, bumps can as a result of "CANCER". 

There are a few ways that cancer can cause bumps on a woman's body, including on the vulva. One way is through direct growth of the tumor on the vulva. This can cause a mass or lump to form. Cancer can also cause bumps on the vulva by spreading to the lymph nodes in the area. This can cause the lymph nodes to swell and become enlarged. 

If you are concerned about bumps on your genitalia, you should see a doctor for an evaluation.


In Conclusion 

Bumps around the genital area are common and in most cases, bumps will go away on their own with time. To help speed up the process, you can try a few at-home treatments, such as 

- Changing your hair removal method. 

- Practicing proper hygiene. 

- Check your genital routine.

Most bumps require treatment from  Doctors, so if bumps persist, you should see your doctor to rule out any other potential causes and place you on timely treatment.

IRREGULAR PERIODS: Causes, Signs & Tips Every Woman Should Know.

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Dear Queen, How often have you silently wondered if your period is “normal” — yet felt too scared or confused to ask? You’re not alone in this quiet struggle. So many of us carry the weight of unanswered questions, enduring pain, missed cycles, or heavy bleeding, wondering if this is just “how it’s supposed to be.” Sometimes it feels like we know more about the latest phone or fashion trend than about the very rhythms of our own bodies — those sacred cycles that shape who we are. And the silence around this topic? Deafening. But your body is speaking, Queen. It’s trying to tell you something deep and vital — a message that could change everything about how you feel, live, and love yourself. You deserve to hear that message loud and clear. Because your menstrual cycle is not just a “monthly thing.” It’s a mirror reflecting your health, your stress, your strength, and your spirit. One of the most important signals to pay attention to is when your period becomes irregular. So, what...

YEAST INFECTION (GENITAL CANDIDIASIS INTRO)

GENITAL YEAST INFECTION Yeast infection can be so uncomfortable. It makes you restless, irritated and tired–especially when it keeps coming back even after you’ve treated it. In fact, 3 out of 4 ladies would experience this once in their life time.  Just imagine being invited to an event, and while you are on stage giving a speech, you suddenly feel an intense desire to itch your vulva. You try to ignore it, but the itch just won’t stop. At that point, it might even disorganize your thoughts, and you find yourself rushing through your speech just to run to the restroom. This infection is both embarrassing and exhausting. Let me give you another example:  A lady once said, that when hers starts, she uses a comb to scratch it. Yes–a comb! She said the more she scratches, the more intense the itch becomes. Just imagine what we women go through. And that’s why on this blog, you are going to learn about: “What exactly is a yeast infection, including its symptoms.” WHAT IS YEAST INF...
