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

September 11, 2022

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?
