deep pea-sized lump not attached to the mucosa of the inside of the labia majora
Hi
Am 37 yrs old female
2 weeks ago I felt a deep pea-sized hard lump that is not attached the mucosal lining of the inner surface of the labia majora
The lump is asymptomatic and it is felt only by touch
It is situated deep to the mucosal lining of the inner surface of the labia majora in its anterior part close to the base of the clitoris
Been having safe sex with the same partner for almost 2 yrs now
And I can't remember feeling this thing before
Am a bit worried that it might be a malignant growth

Meant to add - mine was in a different spot. Also, if yours grows or gets painful it could be an abscess in which case you'd need the antibiotics asap. But a quick Dr check up never hurts. I would have had my Dr check but she has been away and since I wasn't in pain I wasn't too worried. After a hot shower last night I tried squeezing it again (as I had many times before with no luck) & finally, this time, I managed to drain it of a lot of puss (gross lol). Not sure if the hot shower helped or if it was just ready since I'd had it for months. Weird. :)
I've had similar and it was there for months (until last night). Similar age and situation to you.
I never ended up getting it checked by a Dr as it was never painful. But if yours gets painful please see a Dr so you can get antibiotics.
I've just been reading this, which sounded possibly similar to mine - a Bartholin's cyst.
Not sure if it will let me post a url to the page I was just reading or not here: http://patient.info/health/bartholins-cyst-and-abscess
I HTH. :)
