I am 53years old woman. I am already reached menopause. I found a lump about 2.5inch length near the vagine opening on my thigh about 3 days ago.. It doesn't feel hurt or itchy. I am very worried that it might be a cancer or tumour. i am very shy and uncomfortable to seek a doctor as it involves near my private parts. Could anyone pls figure it out for me. Its size worries my a lot. But it doesn't feel hurt or painful. I just felt a sudden feel of pain just about 2seconds yesterday night but the pain disappear. I did not feel any pain today. Please help me. I have diabetic and i've reached menapouse about a year ago. Pls HELP ME

Time to grow up and stop being shy around a doctor. IF the lump is not actually on your vaginal lip, and is on the thigh, it is likely a lipoma, just a tumor comprised of fat, not dangerous or malignant. If it is on the vaginal lip, then it could be a clogged Bartholin's gland and require treatment.

reliable grief. The cervix is one difficulty the vagina yet another. you want to get a e book and have a glance at that anatomy heavily. period in-between the cervical maximum cancers jab isn't I repeat no longer a vaccine for most cancers. it truly is a vaccine for HPV that may perhaps sometimes for some human beings forestall maximum cancers by ability of attacking the HPV virus. it really is not a maximum cancers vaccine.

It could be a cyst or it could be a swollen lymph node. Don't hesitate to get it looked at though because something like that could be malignant. Some types of cancer spreads through the lymph nodes. Dont wait call your doc.

It could be a swollen gland. There are two glands on either side of the vagina. You should consult a doctor however. No shame in that. They have seen much more believe me!

First off you're old enough to know doctors are there to help, not make fun of your body.
Second if it is something that needs to be removed, you'll need a doctor.
Get of your fear and go.
