so I found a pea size lump next to my *** a few months ago, it wasn't itchy or painful, no discharge. It's grown a tiny bit bigger, I went to the doctors today and she said it's thrush and she did a swab, im so worried it's cancer, I do masturbate every day so that could be why. I'm 15 so it's terrifying me .

    Try not to worry too much your obviously very young and it's completely natural to masturbate regularly. It most likely is thrush so just make sure you clean your hands before you touch any sensitive areas best of luck to you x

  • Hello, and thanks for posting. 

    I'm sorry that you are worried about cancer, but today you saw a doctor and they reviewed you and told you that you have thrush which is quite common. Cancer of the vulva is a rare cancer and is usually seen in women who are 75 and over. We have no data currently of somebody of your age with this cancer in our statistics.

    If you remain concerned and the treatment doesn't help do go back to your GP and talk through your worries. It would also be good to chat to an adult you trust about your anxieties about your health.

    Take care and I hope this all gets sorted for you soon.

    Sarah
