There is a strange lump inside my vagina...

I don't have health insurance, I'm really freaked out about this I need more advice then just "go to the gyno." I've only ever had sex with the guy I'm with now and that was fairly recently. The other day i noticed that there's a strange cyst-like lump inside my vaginal opening, and it wasn't there before. It doesn't hurt, I can't feel it when I'm walking around or anything like that. I can only feel it when i insert a finger.

How worried should I be?

Probably not very, could just be a clogged gland. Is it actually in your vagina or on the vulva (vaginal lips)? Can you go to your county health services?

Its like up inside, closer to my cervix. But its something that definitely was not there before.

Hi, I also experienced almost similar problem. It went on for about a week after seeing a doctor who gave me antibiotics which didn't work.and then i went to the phamacist who gave me a pill to insert inside my vagina.It worked. I have infections now and then. And i have been browsing through the net and i came accross this site *Removed outbound link* you can copy and paste it on your browser. They are full of advise they tell you things to do and it to cure infections for good. It might be worth your while.

If its big... it could be a prolapsed bladder... thats something that usually is more common later in age, or after childbirth.... but can be brought on for other reasons, straining perhaps?

I know you don't want to hear about going to a gyno... I don't have medical insurance and understand the position you are in, for sure. If you start having any pain or discomfort, any changes in your pee... dark, cloudy, frequent urges to go, symptoms of a bladder infection, you have to find a way to get in to be seen... infections can be dangerous.

If its some sort of serious condition, most of those things are time-sensitive and the sooner treated, the better.

Is this lump small like a pimple? Is it pea sizes or jawbreaker size? Is it smooth and fleshy? Is it soft? Is it hard? Is it painful to touch? When you squeeze your kegal muscles while touching it , does it retract?
