Hi,
I have a raised lump (it's not small) on the anterior wall of my vagina. I first noticed it when I was 16 (3.5 years ago), when I first started using tampons (it got in the way during insertion, and still does so I can't insert my tampons in very far/ straight). I am still a virgin. I went to see a doctor about 2 years ago about it, and the doctor digitally examined me, but I was told it was 'just a muscle', and she refused to give me a pelvic exam because I was not sexually active. I was to embarrassed to seek help again after that.
My mum had to have a fibroid surgically removed from her uterus and has been diagnosed with endometriosis, so hence I am wondering if this is something similar.
I started my period at age 10, and was put on the pill at 11 due to excessively heavy and irregular periods.
I have noticed recently that it seems to have gotten bigger, and I am getting stabbing pains in my abdoment at random intervals (nowhere near my periods), and have had markedly increased pain during my periods over the last four or five months. I saw my GP who prescribed me naproxen. I didn't mention the lump.
Do I need to get this investigated further? I am so wary that I will have it dismissed again.
