Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painless bump in the vaginal wall could be due to enlargement of Bartholins gland.
Bartholins glands are a pair of glands present at lower end of vaginal wall which secrete mucus.
Blockage of opening of ducts of these glands leads to accumulation of secretions and thus their enlargement.
These enlarged glands may get infected and cause pain and discomfort.
However, Bartholins gland is one of the many possibilities of bump in vaginal wall.
A clinical assessment is required to diagnose the condition and thus plan its management.
Thanks and take care
