unsure.gif I didn't really know anywhere else to ask about this...

About two months ago I was in the tub washing and I had a sensitive area in my vaginal region. It was tender, but nothing out of the ordinary, I just figured I'd nicked myself shaving. But when I inspected a little further I found a lump. It's located basically inside my outer labia on the left side and I can actually grab it within my fingers and move it around beneath my skin. It's about the size of an almond.

I thought it would go away... that it was an ingrown hair or something at first, and I forgot about it for a while, but it's still there (same size and location).

Has anyone ever had something like this? I was wondering if there are glands or lymph nodes there... maybe it could be something like that. Of course google led me to cancer... and I don't want to think about that, but I'm going to go ahead and make an appointment just to be sure.

Any experience with this?

I am no expert, but I think the glands can sometimes become blocked.

If it is the same size, perhaps it is some sort of harmless cyst? Or a fatty deposit type thing?

Best to get it checked, I am sure it is nothing. It could be a deep ingrown hair. I sometimes get ingrown hairs on my upper arms that cause a little bump and can be there for months.

I think it's a good sign it hasn't gotten any bigger, but I'd still see the doctor. hug.gif hug.gif

cysts are very common, and do last a long time. The fact that it is moveable is also another good sign.
I would get it checked out for piece of mind though.

Try not to panic ... I know harder said than done. It could be all the things listed above, but it's good that you are getting it checked. hug.gif

I had a cyst on my upper thigh once, but it was more like a big mosquito bite that never went away. It was called a sebacious cyst, and it had to be drained, which was no picnic but it never came back, which apparently, they sometimes do. Just a harmless, gross thing, nothing more. I'm sure it's the same for you, but it's always better to hear it from the expert. Good luck and KUP.

I had a Bartholin's Cyst some 3 years ago. Sometimes they can become infected and very sore! The Dr. gave me some antibiotics and it cleared up within a week. I think your best bet is to go see your gyno right away and get checked. Better to get at it early and know what it is than to be scared.

hug.gif I would definately go and see a doctor about it. I know not the pleasant thing in the world. But just for peace of mind I would go.
