What Causes A Fleshy Piece Hanging In Vagina During 3rd Month Of Pregnancy?

Okay, this is a REALLY personal, strange question, and I m not 100% positive that you can answer it for me, but I am willing to try, really need an answer here. Let me start by saying I already sought medical attention, today actually, I went to the ER and I told them (what I m about to tell you) what I was experiencing, and they literally completely ignored my problem and only investigated into vaginal discharge they discovered upon examination. I went in because last night when I was about to take a bath, I noticed a small fleshy piece hanging from my vagina (yeah, sorry this is personal, and I feel strange asking, but clearly the ER doctors thought it was nothing yet neglected to ease my mind and let me know what it was). I was not experiencing any pain (until they did the examination and am now a little soar, which is somewhat common for me after such examinations) it s just something I have never seen before and because I am approximately 3 months pregnant it REALLY freaked me out. I have been sexually active since I was about 16 years old, and I googled what I could only describe as fleshy piece of skin hanging from vagina and everyone online seems to think it s the hymen or cherry. This answer doesn t make sense to me because I obviously had multiple sexual relations, and I bled on my first time. PLEASE get back to me on this as soon as you can, I m EXTREMELY frustrated with the ER for not doing what I went it (and paid ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for...ridiculous). I do plan on seeing an OBGYN in person, but I am currently without a job (searching) and without money and plan on applying for medicad. If you think it s best and cannot honestly for sure 100% answer my question here, I WILL go to see an OBGYN if that is your recommendation. I just want to see if I can get this taken care of without a fee.

Hallow Dear,

I would not claim that I can satisfy you 100% without seeing the tissue or the hanging skin. However, I will share my opinion with you.

This type of skin like looking hanging flakes can be found in fungal (yeast) infection. It causes quite a itching. They can be treated by local application of antifungal cream like Candit. If you are willing to accept messy treatment, you may apply Gentian violet intravaginally. This treatment has to be followed by both the partners simultaneously. Shaving private parts is advised. Also till you are cured, observe sexual abstinence.

If you can take a clear photograph of the hanging tissue and upload them for my review, I will have a better concept of your lesion. If you are not relieved by the antifungal treatment, you may ask me a Direct question on this forum by going to my profile. There you can write the whole problem in details and upload the pictures.

I hope this satisfies you to some extent.
