Hello

I'm quite concerned, days ago I have notice something very strange inside my  the vagina - it's hard to explain but looks like a grown tisse like with a walnut  texture but soft. 
i am 41 y old and I don't have kids. 
someone here had something similar? 
 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are concerned about your health. I would make an appointment with your GP so they can examine you.

    Often there is a straightforward explanation far less serious then cancer but it is always a good idea to get these things checked out. We can't diagnose you but  it may be a Bartholin cyst which are benign  (not cancer) cysts  you can read about here

    I hope you make an appointment soon. Even if it is for peace of mind

    All the Best,

    Catherine

    I have the exact same thing and I'm also without kids. A soft mass of walnut texture (squidgy and not painful). One day my vaginal walls were smooth and firm and the next, I had developed this squidgy walnut area. 
    It's always best to get these things checked out but ive had it for 10 years. I have had plenty of examinations in that area and nobody has ever said anything so assuming it's just a mini collapse of my vaginal walls as ive got older. It is exactly how you describe (not really a mass...more a soft squidgy of extra tissue)

    Hello, thank you for your response. 
    I will see a private gynaecologist  today. I hope to find the solution to this. I will probably need some scans tests to find out the cause. 
    have a great day
