Brief Answer:
Likely to be a benign swelling/ blocked gland.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
An oblong grape sized firm lump in the vagina that is painless can be due to a blocked gland or a Bartholin's cyst. These are usually benign swellings and are not related to cancer. In case it is infected, red and painful then oral antibiotics may be needed to control the infection. A direct examination is needed to confirm the type of swelling. Most likely it is a benign swelling and is not worrisome. You can wait for 2 weeks for your appointment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
