Q: Lump inside the vagina

asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 25th, 2008

i have a hard lump in my vagina about 3 inches up on frontal wall- it would certainly prevent intercourse because it is obtrusive and fells almost like an extension of bone pushing in.behind this is my vaginal wall -what should i do -go get checked out. i am embarrassed to explain this problem to anyone especialy a doctor-i am ver private in this area. if this means i cannot have sex then will i ever be able to get pregnant? but i don't know and i'm scared because i ve never heard of anyting like it
also i have been getting twinges in that general area for a while and i have been through intensive chemotherapy so i am worried about my health although this was present before i was previously diagnosed and am now in remission from burkitts lymphomawhich i'm sure is unre;ated.
i just want some peace of mind and i feel unconfident about sexual activity , this is preventing any relationship i might want to have and stopping me from enjoying myself.
please offer some advice
thankyou

You can consult a gynecologist about that “lump inside the vagina”. Only vaginal examination by a gynecologist can reveal if you really have something inside your vagina.

There is nothing to be ashamed of when your health is involved.
