Okay but the seagulls head tilt😂😂
I can't stop crying because I'm so worried. Today I woke up and realized that I forgot to take my tampon out last night before I passed out. When I ran to the bathroom to take it out, I noticed that I was feeling burning and was worried that it might be the beginning of a yeast infection (which would be my fault bc uk..the tampon). I went in the shower and washed up and after I felt some relief. But it started burning again a few hours later. I thought lemme just take a look real quick, and now I'm REALLY concerned.
There are two VERY prominent holes, and I'm thinking....has my vagina always been like this? It definitely hasn't. It's like my urethra (I think it is, l've always been kind of confused on the location of it) is close to the same size as my actual vaginal opening.
I started panicking thinking maybe I accidentally put a tampon in there?????
So of course I started panicking and searching online and honestly after searching about, I'm really reall!!!! worried that it's a urethral prolapse. It says a small pink donut, where your urethra is..and it kinda looks like that. But my vaginal opening seems like it has some sort of skin blocking it now from the inside. And now l'm seeing something called a cystocele. And it looks pretty similar to what is blocking the opening.
I'm searching everywhere near me for the soonest gyn appointment, but only found one on June 1st (I booked it) I recently started sleeping with this guy I'm seeing after no sex for 8 months. My period just ended. Idk if these factors matter. But looking at all pics I have of my cooch in my hidden folder from the past (that I hold on to for this exact kind of situation) something is VERY OBVIOUSLY different.

I try not to panic search, but it’s looking like what the pictures show online. It says a small pink donut, where your urethra is..and it kinda looks like that.

I would be more than willing to share a picture, I don’t even care, but I’ve honestly never done that on Reddit and I have no idea what third party site to use.
I just need some reassurance, and maybe advice on what site to use to add a picture. I’m so nervous, like wtf did I do that could’ve caused this.
