I'm sexually active and I've got a Mirena, but I'm worried because I've noticed these large, sometimes hard bumps on the inside of my thighs. Plus, there's this thick bump, like extra skin, under my clitoral hood, and I just found it while I was wiping. It doesn't have a head, and it hurts if I rub over it too hard. Should I be concerned about these bumps? What's going on with my skin down there?

The bumps on the inside of your thighs could be due to various reasons such as folliculitis, skin tags, or even genital warts. The thick bump under your clitoral hood may be a cyst or a blocked gland. For the bumps on the inside of your thighs, you can try using an over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. If they persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. As for the thick bump under your clitoral hood, it is important not to try to pop or squeeze it. You can try warm compresses to help reduce any discomfort. If it does not improve or if it becomes more painful, you should see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.
The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring
