Lump inside vagina wall

Hi I have lichen sclerosus, on examining myself today I have found a large lump inside my vagina wall. It doesn't hurt. I have lost the other side due to the lichen so I am naturally larger the other side, but this is a lump inside the vagina wall... thank you for reading if anyone has any thought I would be grateful x

    Hi there, did you find out what it was?
     

    I've just found a small lump insidey vagina opening in wall, I found it after months of feeling uncomfortable after intercourse. It's right in the wall of the vagina opening.

    Hello

    Yes it was a Bartholins cyst and nurse was not worried and said it's quite common. I still have it, it won't go but has gone down little. She said they get blocked and most people have them and would never know unless gynae nurse sees it when having a smear or Internal. She said leave it alone if it's not causing me any problems but if it did should would refer me to gynae. It causes me no problems so just left it. I just have a blocked duct there.

    I hope you are well? 

    I have exactly the same symptoms as you and was wondering if you had any news as to what it could be?

    Thank you kindly, L-A x

    Hey! I'm having the exact same issues right now. I have a lump inside my vagina with no symptoms (doesn't really hurt) it's kinda soft, but hard? Don't really know if that makes sense. I am 18 years old, so around the same age as you. 
    Do you have any updates on your lump? I hope everything's okay! 
     

    All the best!

    hey, thank you so much for your reply!

    Thanks for updating me, I'm glad it hasn't gotten any worse for you, I can understand how nerve wracking this is as I've just recently got it and im thinking the worst. 
    Mine feels the exact same!!! It feels like skin, but also a lump, so I'm confused as to how I should even describe it. 

    I've done a little bit of research, and the least scariest issue I can find is a bartholins cyst? Your bartholins glands are right under your vagina hole, left and right (sorry really not the correct terminology). My lump is on the right side under the hole, so I'm assuming it could be that. Bartholins cyst tend to not be serious and usually go away on their own, but may take a while. 
     

    Is your lump at the place I've described mine? 

    in regards to the doctors, I'm kind of worried about going, I want to obviously find out what it is but it's just so scary. I've looked at all the alarming symptoms and once I feel like I have any of them, I'll be sure to book a doctors appointment. 
     

    All the best,
