Large Lump Found, I'm Very Worried Posted: 10-22-07 18:46pm
"Past history of Polycystic syndrome with
nil treatment. Had son 7yrs ago by
C-section after many hours on inducing
drugs as 3weeks overdue. Very irregular
periods/weight problems all my life but
particularly since childbirth. Just
finished an extremely heavy and painful
menstrual cycle yesterday. Very unusual
symptoms in first 2 days of cycle -
extreme back ache and cramping. Could not
sleep without high doses of codeine
(unusual for me as never use pain killers)
Still having twinges and some deep seated
cramping today. Sounds disgusting I'm
sorry but thought I had better check if I
had left a tampon in from previous
period!! (usually use pads but did use a
tampon last cycle) On internal exam I
found a very large lump on the left wall
of vagina quite high up. No pain when
pressed but have had twinges in area since
(not sure if this is paranoia) Can only
feel half of lump which feels firm yet
spongy and is approx 10cm. Have had
extreme lack of energy past few months but
put this down to unhappiness in general
life. Have recently moved to knew town to
start afresh. I have been single and
celibate for past 9months. Any ideas? I am
obviously very worried."

I don't really know what it could be, but
I'd go the doctor, especially given your
history...

I would go to the doctor... It could be a
fibroid tumor...kinda sounds like it. My
mother was having some of the same
symptoms and that is what was wrong with
her... she had it removed...and then had
to have a hysterectomy.
