What Causes Purple Lumps Inside Vagina During Pregnancy?
hi i am 28 weeks pregnant and have suffered with thrush this pregnancy. I also have group b strep. I have noticed the past few weeks lots of small dark purple lumps just inside my vagina and starting to spread all over. They are not painful and do not bleed or anything like that. I am married and have talked to my partner when i found them as genital warts was of course the first thing that popped into my head but he assures me it can not be this as he has only been with me. Could they be something to do with the thrush or the strep b? Thankyou.

Hello,
You seem to have a complex problem of pregnancy with vaginal varicose veins as these are painless multiple lumps caused from 28-week fetus pressing on pelvic veins, which has lead to these unexpressed varicosities due to the high intrapelvic pressure due to growing fetus.
The thrush and group B streptococcus (GBS) infection have expedited the occurrence due to increased vascularity from the inflammatory process in the vaginal area. Hence both these facts need to be considered while planning treatment of these lumps when need be.
In the above scenario, you need to be very cautious and take the needful treatments for the varied unknown health issues you may have, which requires a thorough evaluation of your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
