What Causes Lesions Deep Inside Vagina?
Question: Hello, I have a small bead-like lump of tissue that can be felt from deep inside my vagina, on my left side. It feels like the lump is in the flesh between the vagina and the rectum. Meaning if I were not pressing down my vaginal wall would feel smooth.
I know I need to get this checked out and I will, but I am trying to do some research and I cannot find anything anywhere to describe such a thing. To be clear, it feels like a bead that stays in place and causes no pain. If I contract my vagina while my finger is inserted it "goes away". I just wish I could find some literature online but I've found nothing to even begin to describe this.
I know we should get all lumps checked out but is this something I should urgently be concerned about? I do not have medical coverage and it's going to be quite a task to get checked out. In addition, do I go to a colon doctor or a vagina doctor? As it seems to be between the two areas.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your description, the possibilities are:
-Lesions from adenexal structures like ovarian cyst, hydrosalpinx etc.
-Para ovarian cyst, gardener's cyst
-Pedenculated uterine fibroid
-Sometimes hard fecal matter can also be mistaken as lump
-Inflamed lymph nodes etc.
As you told, by examination and investigations only the exact cause can be diagnosed.
So consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound.
By this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
