Ask the Question

4 weeks ago I slipped and injured myself between the legs. I felt really tired for several days afterwards and when I looked at the injury (with a mirror) I found I had a 20 x 20cm black/purple patch of skin in that area. Gradually the colour subsided but I then developed a tennis ball sized lump. This is now a lot smaller and there is only some colouration in the skin now but, what is worrying me most of all is that I have developed (for the first time ever) vaginal dryness. I noticed this straight away and it has not got any better. I would like to ask if you know whether there is an important nerve etc here that could be permanently damaged.

Thanks in advance, too embarassed to show this injury to anyone...
