Lumps in my vagina

Hello i don’t know why im doing this but i guess its cause im absolutely terrified im 16 years old and have i think two lumps in my vagina one about the size of a grape at the opening on the side that points towards my belly button and one above it smaller there hard and dont move and the opening to my vagina is white which is not a good colour. I first discovered the lumps when i was 11 so five years ago and went to the doctor 3 times about it they dismissed me every time but i cant ignore the fact that i could have late stage cancer having left it so long and i cant put a tampon in cause it wont fit im also a virgin and in this state i could never have sex i have no other symptoms of vaginal cancer other than yellowish discharge but i don’t know if im being optimistic or what but if it was cancer shouldn’t i have died or something by now i dont know how it works eather way im terrified cause i will have to get them removed somehow and i dont want to die i really dont know why im posting this but im scared and stuff so yeah 

  • Hi Qwerty123455, 

    I am sorry you are feeling so worried about these lumps. It's good you went to see the doctor when you first noticed these lumps 5 years ago and I think you can believe the doctor's words that there is no cause for concern but if you haven't gone back to the doctor to get these checked again, given that you are feeling so anxious it would be worth perhaps getting a second opinion and asking the doctor any questions that are on your mind like for example whether you need to get them removed. Talking to your doctor about your concerns will hopefully give you complete reassurance once and for all that this is nothing to worry about. 

    Best wishes,

  • thank you so much for replying I have done some more research and the chances that the lump is cancerous are like less than one in 100,000 so that's reasured me a bit and my mums booking a doctors appointment today to hopefully run some tests and get it removed its a scary thought as I have had not so great experiences with hospitals and its quite an embarrassing area but I have to do it or it will never get fixed but thank you for your reassuring words they mean a lot 

    thanks
