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
