Hard nodule/lumps inside vagina

Hello, 

I noticed three small  hard nodules /lumps just inside my vagina, almost on the muscle, underneath my vagina wall (sorry tmi) I’m so worried! I had HPV and some cells removed a few years back after a smear, but no cancer was present.  Yearly smear now back to normal routine smear. 
of course I’ve googled which I know doesn’t help and no I feel I’ve got a few symptoms of vaginal cancer. My mind is racing and going not over time! I’ve been waiting over a week for and appoint and inally have one this Friday. Worried the GP’s going to Say it’s bad .

Im Not sure why I’ve posted this but I needed to get it off my chest!!!!

thanks 

  • Hello Worried5mum, 

    I am so sorry to hear you have been feeling so worried after noticing these three hard lumps just inside your vagina. The best thing to do really just to get peace of mind is exactly what you've done - to book an appointment to see a doctor who will examine you and with whom you can share your fears and concerns. it's normal to be worried when we notice something unusual about our bodies and it's really important to flag this with your GP but try not to worry too much if you can or anticipate the most unlikely scenario. 

    You are right that Googling doesn't help even if the temptation is understandably very much there and we all have a tendency to look things up online when we are worried about our health. Try to stay well away from Dr Google as it will only make you anxious and give no satisfactory answers. It's good you won't have to wait too long now for your appointment and that you can be seen on Friday. 

    Everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern and that you get some clarity and reassurance on Friday. 

    Best wishes,
