I had a non painful lump a bit smaller than a pea and asked the doctor to look when I had my pap smear. she said it was a varicose vein. It was there for about 5 months but gone now.

Thanks girls, its only painful if I put any pressure on it.. was trying to see if it was an ingrown last night but nothing happened... so its a little sore today when I 'wipe' but it doesn't hurt if I dont touch it. and it obviously didnt hurt me before I found it because I never noticed it...
I will get the ob to check it out next week, bit embarrassed to bring it up, silly I know considering he will be seeing MUCH more when the birth happens!.... all these things you need to go through... its all worth it in the end of course

now a little worried.... I must have 'rubbed' it too hard when I was cleaning down there in the shower... it started bleeding and hasn't stopped since... I didnt realise it was bleeding until I got out of the shower... I panicked thinking it was the bloody show or something... then realised where the blood was coming from... now my liners are being used for something else because it wont stop bleeding...
do you think it could have been a varicose vein that has 'popped'??? so worried now!

I'd be ringing your m/w or maternity ward. It's probably nothing, but it should be checked out.
I heard that varicose veins are really painful?

well since it has been aggrevated it has been painful...

Is it still bleeding?
If yes, then yes.
I can't hurt to ring. Maybe even Nurse on Call has an idea?

it kind of bleeds when pressure is put on it, like I walk around for ages...or put pressure on my legs like bending etc... but your right I should call now... it could get infected!
