cyst between vaginal opening and urethral orifice Posted: 03-10-08 20:23pm
I just noticed I have a cyst looking like
bump about the size of a penny or smaller
between my vaginal opening and my urethral
orifice. It is not painful but it is
disturbing to look at it since it looks
very abnormal. Also, I can't really find
my clitoris.
In addition my breast never developed (or
fully developed) I have a very stick thin
stature. I have my period which is good.
I also got pregnant before but it took a
while for me to. But I got a TA done after
that. I don't have THAT much hair around
my body. In addition, I have a square jaw
somewhat (i think it looks to broad or
masuline)
I am worried or plain SCARED that I may be
a psuedohermaphrodite. Since I'm such a
hypochondriac I fear many things that I
may not have, and I just freak myself out.
Someone explain too me what it could be
or reassure me that I'm not. My boyfriend
says everything looks normal, but to me it
looked different that that last time I saw
myself down there (about 3-4 years ago).
I'm very scared.

Okay, Beebobee:
I think you are making too much out of
this. If your bf says you look normal,
then the chances are nothing is wrong. If
the cyst is bothering you, go to a doctor
and get it checked out. Have you shown the
cyst to your gyn or asked about your
clitoris?
On the other thing, if you were more
manly, wouldn't you have MORE hair on your
body, especially pubic hair and male
pattern hair? I know you are scared of
finding out you might have signs of
hermaphroditism, but it could just be a
hormonal imbalance and easily fixed with
medication.
Best to make sure everything is good
medically before you start worrying about
how things look. Most of all, don't try to
diagnose yourself. It's normal to freak
out a little with changes in your body,
but the truth about your condition should
calm your fears. Don't believe anything
until you visit a doctor.

If you are able to get pregnant, chances
that you have ANY type of intersex
condition is very very unlikely. Usually,
there are other symptoms obvious long
before now, or a woman finds out (at the
latest) when she is not able to conceive.
But you should probably get your cyst
checked out!
