Suggest Treatment For External Growth At The Vaginal Opening
An embarasing question: It seems to be the vagina stinging and it looks like a kidney bean laying horizontal at the vaginal opening. I am 69, widowed, not sexually active! Is that thing supposed to be there? Feels pressure when I walk fast or jump, not that I do a lot of jumping--but this feeling is definitely limiting my hiking and other exercise.

Hi.
It could be a Bartholin's cyst which is a cyst developing in the Bartholin glands that are responsible for the production of lubricating your vagina. I recommend a warm compress over the region several times a day, avoid hair removal in the region for a while, take warm water sitz baths with epsom salt in it, and avoid inner wear for a while to prevent friction. You should be fine soon, if not then visit your doctor for further management.
Best wishes.
