Excess skin growth inside my vaginal hole growing out over my urethral opening - what if surgery isn't an option?

Question

I've had this excess skin growth for probably 20 years now but it seems like it grows more and slowly. My OBGYN said they probably wouldn't remove it because of an artery there. I always feel like I have a tampon stuck half way out. Prone to UTI's and hate it. What can I do if surgery isn't an option?

This is an unusual question.  Skin can be removed. See a different doctor. Not every doctor is a skilled surgeon.  To me it sounds like prolapse.  Download my free ebook which explains a lot.  If you want to do a phone consult it’s easy and I can look at photos and tell you what is going on.

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

Because there is not a photograph, I am unable to give you any advice as to how to proceed. I would however suggest that you consult a second gynecologist to get a definitive answer as to what is on your vulva.

Thank you for your question Hard to tell without a photo May be just a hymeneal tag which is easily trimmed off in the office

It is very difficult to make a comment without an examination, the piece of flesh may be due to the hymen residue or it may be a polyp attached to the urinary tract. They can usually be surgically removed.
