What Is A Red Piece Of Skin In The Vaginal Opening In A Person With Endometriosis?

Hi, I have a tiny in width (mm) but about 1.5ins piece of red skin which is in my vagina in the opening, it never hurts but I am slightly paranoid with it. I have had it for years. I m 28 yr old female, healthy otherwise other than endometriosis and painful sex as a result. What do you think this skin could be? I looked at if I could almost push it back in but it s like there isn t anywhere for it to go. Any help much appreciated thanks, KA

Hello,
A painful lesion suggests infection. If the lesion hurts and swells during a period, it is likely to be an endometriotic deposit in view of your history. Tears of the hymen usually heal well and do not cause much trouble. Warts are another possible occurrence. As the lesion is causing discomfort during intercourse, you need to get it treated. You need a local examination to identify the cause. Your sexual partner also needs to be examined for any infections and further management planned accordingly. Hope this helps.
