Swollen (sore) bump under skin by vagina

3 days ago I woke up without the bump, but throughout the day the area around the left side of my vagina became increasingly sore. It wasnt till i came home that i took a look at it. Its a hard pea-sized bump under my skin, and can be pushed around a bit. I was thinking it was a cyst, but is it normal for it to develop within 8 hours? I normally have a bit of vaginal discharge, but it seems to have increased the past few days. Any ideas for what it might be? I don't think it is an STD because i havent seen my boyfriend since the summer... so haven't had sex since then ( he has been my only partner). Worried because it came so suddenly and it hurts when i walk (underwear rubs against it).

I have a pea sized (maybe a bit bigger) lump under the skin between two veins, it beside the clitorous and the lips, it has just shown up and I'm worried it may be something worse as I am sexually active, I came to the conclusion that I was suffering from cystitis as i had the bladder symptoms, now because of the lump I'm affriad it is alot worse, or am could it just be two things wrong rather than one big problem?

hello ladies. i've been reading all the comments above and sadly i'm in the same boat :( i have a lump, the same lump i had a few years ago that was diagnosed as a cyst. i had to undergo minor surgery to get it cut and was placed on anti biotics for a few weeks, or days....i can't remember lol. but hey, if its a cyst its nothing to be frightened about. i mean i was frightened at first, but my doctor made to feel comfortable alltho he was a male and the cyst was like in my passage. it was VERY painful, i walked funny couldnt sit down properly and was more frightened to tell my mom than go by the doc! but i had to. And just as i feared they jumped to conclusions and blamed me having sex and bla bla bla. i am a woman dammit! neways straying from the topic.....yes so here i am with this stupid lump again and i looked it up it is mainly caused by an infection or blocked up glands that cause them to become swollen and painful. others are caused by tumors, developing embryos etc. So i hope you ladies are okay now because i know what inconvenience this is! i hope i get thru this one okay too. :)

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone could help me??? I have recently found a lump on my vagina at the bottom but towards the side of my lips on the left side. However the inside area of my lips is very tender and sore, and feels like sharp mini shooting pains too. But I have also notice white thick discharge every time I check my vagina when going toilet. As well as this I have felt tiny lumps on the inside of my vagina when washing near the curvex area. But even though I have thick white discharge around my clitorus tends to be very dry but extra painful and feels like it burns when I wee. What can all this mean??? As I am single and not had sex for 2years at least and have had std checks about a year ago. However I tend to masturbate regularly can anyone help ???? I'm to scared and shy to go doctors???? Xxxx
