Cyst?

I'm 15 going on 16 but I'm very worried. I started my period yesterday and noticed a small lump on my vagina. It wasnt sore until today when it became painful and hard to ignore, my periods have been getting worse and im getting worried I'm wondering if people have experienced similar situations in their teens. I stay with my dad so I cant exactly tell him out of sheer embarrassment. Some research said it may be a cyst but I want to make sure

  • Hi ErinQ,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Generally it's best to get these things checked out by a GP to be on the safe side. Initially, if you feel you can't talk to your dad about this, it may help to speak to one of our nurses. If you'd like to do that then you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Hopefully you can make an appointment with your doctor, who will be very used to these situations and can help.

    Wishing you all the best,
