lump on vagina

Hiya, I really am lost to turn anywhere else. i was just going to the toilet and had a painful urination (I'm prone to water infections) and then just to the left of my vagina I noticed a lump so i went to feel it to see how big it was and it burst and bled for a long while. It's still swollen and I'm unsure of what to do. phoning my gp in a time like this is the most terrifying thing to me. any advise would help please :( thank you so much in advance x

  • Hello soph77, 

    I know it's really hard sometimes to talk to your GP about such intimate things especially in the current climate but your doctor will be in the best position to tell you more about this. So don't be shy, do pick up the phone and talk to your GP about this especially as it is swollen and the lump has burst and bled profusely. You could, if it makes you feel more comfortable, ask to talk to a lady doctor - doctors are experienced in dealing with these issues and I am sure they will be happy to advise you further  on this. 

    Best of luck for your appointment and best wishes,
