we're gonna tackle your lumps and bumps
and even more today starting with the
most sensitive of subjects the growth
that happened down there and they do dr.
Lisa they absolutely do that's why it is
so important for women to know and
embrace what's going on down there
whatever you want to call down there and
so you want to look and I mean get up
and look some more when dr. Ruth told
you to get in front of the mirror naked
she did okay you all should get in front
of the mirror naked and I don't mean
just look up here you if you get a
full-length mirror and just spread those
legs and look at that I'm serious right
those legs look at that Anatomy look and
feel so you know what should be normal
and if you don't feel any something
that's normal or it's something that's
new you go to your doctor okay we don't
want you to self-diagnose now I would
love to play a game with somebody out
there if pollen tear to learn about
private parts and the bumps and lumps
and things that go on down there you
have any volunteers all right yeah yeah
look at that okay what's your name Aaron
[Applause]
all right so you look down there you's a
man down there I try I try yeah do you
know what this is right here we're gonna
start with this number one bump this is
the labia majora so this would be on one
of your labia okay on the sort of right
on the inside usually all right and now
once you go and feel like I can't feel
look feel looks like a wad of bubblegum
all right okay obviously it's gonna be
different colors and different people
and you can actually sort of move it
back and forth between your fingers a
little bit and kind of move it around
it's almost like a water balloon feel to
it and this is what we call the bar
saloons glances and basically you have
Barcelona and which are the natural
lubricant for the vagina okay so you if
you're everything's going right with
your partner you don't need the
lubricants down there but if not it's
the gland that does it for you what
happened is the duct in that gland can
get blocked for whatever reason now if
it gets blocked the fluid backs up
that's what's in this cyst
now if the fluid in the siskins in fact
it becomes an abscess but so this fluid
filled cyst the things that you can do
can sit in a warm bath like a sitz bath
hope that it opens on its own sometimes
it'll go away on its own
but if not you go the doctor and what we
do is we do a little simple incision and
it should pop open just like that and if
it's if it's infected it's very
foul-smelling but what we do is we
either marsupial eyes it meaning we cut
these back in like a star-shaped thing
and then we sue them back so it stays
open and it continues to drain or we put
a catheter in it because it needs to
continue to drain and heal now feel this
next one kind of looks like moles or it
could be they could be purple they could
be red they could be black they're just
little raised bumps now in this case and
sometimes they are moles down there or
skin tags in this case there Comanche
omus which are just like red benign
tumors with they can be vascular a lot
of times you'll see them at birth
they're usually nothing absolutely
nothing nothing needs to be done to now
go ahead and feel that one that just
does not look good okay you guys in the
audience at home it should feel sort of
cauliflower like that they're happy
bumpy no what do you think it is again
it's on the outside it's on the labia I
have no idea but I would be scared if I
this is actually a pretty benign look
and I know some of these may be kind of
graphic free of of condyloma or genital
warts which is caused by the HPV virus
or human papilloma virus it's an STD
sexually transmitted disease you get it
through sexual intercourse oral
intercourse anything that exchanges
sexual fluids it can start smaller and
just feel like a little raised bump
that's why again when it gets to this
point it's pretty obvious sometimes they
get so big they can block the opening of
the vagina and prevent the baby from
coming out or cause bleeding and come
friable that you don't want to get
because they can be treated with
specific medications or by removal or by
freezing they can be treated but the
virus will never go away the prevention
is the vaccine that we want you to start
before you actually get second sexually
active for boys and for girls now so you
know both want to get those vaccines and
at least it should be mentioned that
unlike the berkland cysts that you
mentioned which only women have you know
right this this men it will actually see
this growth as well often times and
there
area because men like women are at risk
for for these this is a gift you don't
want to get man to wear condoms there
because if you you know if your man has
something like that you have to tell him
to go get it checked out and I would
deny that's why I go stand in front of
the mirror then and women check all your
stuff out down there figure out what's
going on how it feels and how it looks
thank you
