    Question

    I have been occasionally getting a bump on the inside at the top of my vagina. It itches really bad. I had my yearly pap and everything is great, no infections or STDs. I do shave but the bump is always on the inside of the vagina, not the outside. What could this be? What could be causing it?

    Answer

    It might be a gland, or cyst that is responding to the hormones in your cycle or some activity that triggers it - so the next time it happens, I would have a doctor look at it - then you will know for sure. Good luck!
