Vagina bulge

Hi ,

Just wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms to me ,

pain during sex , felt a bulge pushing into vagina ,about  a inch or more  up , feels firm to touch,  size of a  walnut , if i istrain it protrudes into vagina even more ?

im going through menspause no periods or discharge for over a year

pelvic / back aches , dripping after a wee sometimes .  Can't stop mid flow when I wee anymore ? 

seen doctor on Monday who said she couldn't see anything in vagina but could feel lump in womb / more on one side ? 

said it could be prolapse but then said Cancer ! Which absolutely has freaked me out !! Got a quick appointment ( normally 2 weeks but am going next Tuesday) to see Gynaecologist

Really panicking now , spoke to another gp yesterday for help with anxiety and he said when referring a patient it asks on the form if they have told you it could be cancer ? 
I mean I don't think it should mention cancer unless they know for certain ?  But I understand they have to prepare you . Surely there are other reasons for these symptoms too ? 

thanks for reading

  • Hey , I hope your appointment had the best possible outcome , did you find out what it was ? As I can totally relate ...

    I must admit I'm concerned myself , I had abnormal cells found on a cervical ectropion 4 years ago so I have cryotherapy to freeze them off, I had a smear a year later and they were borderline abnormal again , they then said I'll have a smear in 3 years so I'm on year 2 currently . Since the last smear ive noticed i'm getting lumps inside the vagina (in research it looks like extra hymenal tags now for some reason) but inside on the right it hurts to touch and I can feel not necessarily a lump but just a lot of discomfort afterwards , I'm also starting to have pain after intercourse and a pressure feeling ( I had this the first time - this was a reason I went to the docs) . I'm booked in to a clinic tomorrow to have a look , interested to see if it's abnormal cells again and if it's related or not .
