The vagina has a lining that can form cysts, polyps, and warts and even tough these occur often, they are not harmful. Polyps are small skin tags found in the vagina. They are usually not noticed and treatment is not needed unless they become painful or bleed. They are not dangerous, but it is still smart to visit your doctor every now and then. Cysts are made when a gland or duct is clogged and liquid collects in a sac and inside the vagina, they are usually painless, round lumps. They can get to be the size of a plum before you notice them and many are found along the sides of the vagina. They usually don’t get larger than a dime. Most of these cysts are Gartner's Cysts that formed when women were babies and they do not need any treatment unless they get larger. A painful cyst from a disease called endometriosis can form, but this is a rare case. Sometimes these need treatment with medicine, laser or other surgical procedures.
