Q: 

What's wrong with my vagina?

It looks like the insides of my vagina are spilling out and have been ripped up, and the parts that I circled hurt/sting when I push or touch them. I've had 1 sexual partner and we've done it maybe 4 times in the past 4 years. Last time I did it with him was less than a year ago and it was very painful. In the stomach area and the parts that I circled. Please help. [I am in my early 20s]

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You need to have your reproductive organs checked by a medical professional.

If something feels like it's coming out of your vagina, you may have a vaginal prolapse.

Vaginal prolapse is the inward and downward bulging of the vaginal walls. It occurs when the supporting tissues of the lower pelvis weaken. The lack of support causes the walls of the vagina walls to collapse. Other structures or organs near the vagina are also shifted. Types of vaginal prolapse include:

Cystocele (dropped bladder)—when the collapse involves the front of the vagina and bladder
Rectocele —when the collapse involves the back of the vagina and rectum
Enterocele—when the collapse involves the top vaginal wall and small bowel
The severity of vaginal prolapse may be simply defined as:

First degree—collapse into the upper part of the vagina
Second degree—collapse further into the vaginal canal
Third degree—collapse that reaches the vaginal opening or extends beyond the opening
There are more sophisticated ways of measuring and describing prolapses. Specialist physicians will use them.

Please seek medical help.
Best,
Susan
