Hello doctor,
I have found small bumps on the outer edge of my vagina. They are itchy and sometimes burning. Once in a while they leak a little blood but mostly yellow discharge. Also I am 34 weeks pregnant and currently on some medicines for UTI.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have not seen your problem and nature of the bumps, but from the symptoms you mentioned I suspect that this could be HSV (herpes simplex virus), but I am not sure about it. As you are pregnant, I would suggest you contact your local doctor and have it assessed urgently. If it is HSV, then it could be harmful to your baby as you need to plan safe delivery of the baby timely. I must say that this is something which must not be ignored because especially you are approaching near term now. I hope it has helped you. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
