Hi today I was standing on a chair when I slipped and fell straight into the straddle position. Now there's a large, hard lump on the right side of my vagina where I sustained a bruise and I'm not sure if this is normal. It's hard to walk normally but there's no bleeding
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, this is obviously hematoma subcutaneously located, which was caused by injury and there is no need to be worried at all. This will pull back in very short time. You should only avoid sexual intercourse till pain persists since it may worsen hematoma. You can take non-steroid painkillers such as Ibuprofen or Diclofenac but need to avoid medications that are blood thinners. If there will be progressive pain or bleeding through vagina other than menstrual one, you should see a gynecologist for more detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
