    Question

    Hello, I do not have medical insurance. I had my period and after I noticed there was a lot of discharge and itching. A week or so later, I noticed after I peed there was some blood coming from my urethra. I took a closer look and noticed about 4 small bumps just outside the opening of my vagina. They look like they are just balls of access skin. Do you have any suggestions on what it might be, before I pay a mint for a doctors appointment as I do not have a job to pay for it.

    Answer

    Most cities have clinics for people without insurance - call your public health department, or a local Planned Parenthood, which will charge on a sliding scale, based on your income. Good luck!
