Vaginal bleeding

I have a sort of growth on my vaginal wall that feels like a ring of gristle. It makes it very painful when I have sex with my boyfriend as he can only enter me for about 3cm before hitting the wall of gristle. It is also extremely painful for me. However, at the weekend, whilst having sex, my partner pushed and has torn the ring of gristle, making me bleed. Can you please tell me what the ring of gristle is and if it can be removed? Many thanks

  • Hi there and thanks for your post

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you have but unfortunately no one here can say what this may be.

    It is best to make an appointment with your doctor so they can examine you to see what this might be and what further actions may be needed.

    There could be a number of reasons for this and most won't be cancer, so try not to over think this until you have been seen by your doctor and you know more.

    Take care
