What Causes Large Lump In Vagina And Numbness In Pelvic Floor Muscles?
Question: I think I have a prolapse , I feel a large lump in my vagina, when I insert a tampax it doesn't go straight in , it's like it goes round a corner ? And when I do a poo it's curved and difficult to get out ? I can't feel my pelvic floor muscles .
Brief Answer:
Can be a prolapse.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Feeling a large lump in vagina that is painless can be due to a prolapse. This can be confirmed only after a physical examination by your gynecologist. Other possibility is a large vaginal cyst. In both the cases the lump needs to be removed or the prolapse needs to be repaired surgically.
Do consult your gynecologist for a proper examination and further treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi again, what surgical procedure is available for weak pelvic floor muscles ? As I feel this has caused my prolapse .
Brief Answer:
Kegel exercises will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The weak pelvic floor muscles can be strengthened with Kegel exercises. In case it is actually a prolapse then surgical reduction and strengthening with mesh is done to avoid recurrence. Sling procedure or vaginal pessaries are also used for short term relief.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
