Severe Vaginal Dryness And Itching. Vaginal Cysts That Look Like A Bunch Of Balloons

About 6 weeks ago I experienced severe vaginal dryness and itching. I inserted some Replens but it did not help. I took a little mirror and discovered several cysts clustered together that almost completely blocked the opening of my vagina. When I spread the vaginal lips, I saw that the cysts were connected to the top of the vagina as well as the inner walls. All of the cysts were flesh colored. I went to my gynecologist, who ruled out herpes or STDs. The cysts have continued to grow. I inserted a clean finger and felt around, and the cyst(s) extend further up my vagina than my finger can reach. The top cyst now has a large black mark in the middle of it. The itchiness has pretty much disappeared, but rarely I will get a sharp pain. I understand that the cysts could be due to blocked glands, but I am concerned because they have not gone away. The gynecologist said only to watch and wait and to take sitz baths. Am I missing something? Should I go to a gynecologist oncologist?

Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The multiple cyst you are describing looks more like vaginal warts due to HPV (human papiloma virus).Please get re-examined by the Gynaecologist and ask her to get tested for HPV so that you are not missing on it.Do not neglect please get tested soon.
Thanks

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
You may be having a Vaginal Candidiasis or it could be STD. You should be getting a Blood Work up done to rule out the exact cause.
Kindly consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined. I don't need there is any need to consult a Gynecologic Oncologist.


Wish you Good Health.
