I've found a strange lump in the opening of my vagina.

For a few weeks I've had an itch down below at the opening of my vagina. It also burns when I urinate. I thought it was thrush and used canestan. it seemed to go away after a few days. then I took my period an it itched again with a heavy feeling like wearing a tampon. The itch has been there now for over a week and I checked with my mirror and found a horrible looking lump. when I feel it it moves but its stuck to the vaginal wall. Can anyone help me with what it could be? I will contact my gp first thing Monday morning.

it could be a polyp

Thanks. I’ve added this one as you can see it looks like a cluster and its blocking the entrance. Very strange. Fingers crossed it is something innocent. Doesn’t stop the worrying mind you :frowning:

Had my GP appointment today and she hasn’t seen anything like it but doesn’t think its anything to worry about. She’s referred me to gynaecology for to check. she said it looks worse in pics than in real life but if its something new then I’d be best getting it checked.

i have the samething i was told it was HPV

What kind of treatment were you offered?

OK so I just back from my gynaecology appointment and it’s great news. What I’ve seen is my hymen and part of my vagina, but as we age it can drop so I need to do more pelvic floor exercises and try to lose some weight. All normal tissue, no warts or STIs. I hope this helps people. This site was very useful for me.
