Dr. Montogomery is right, it could be varicose veins. But it is unusal that you wouldn't have had the lumps during pregnancy it is varicose veins.

If it does turn out to be varicose veins you can try the V-brace from http://www.fembrace.com it helps a lot for pressure and pain of varicose veins on the vulva.

Good luck.
