I think I've jsut found a lump in my vagina. It felt weird down there so I felt around and about as far as my fingers go in there was something in the way, kind of squishy. It definitely hasn't been there before. I managed to squeeze it and it felt fleshy and squishy, and when I squeezed it it didn't hurt, like there were no feelings in it. I poked it and it made a dimple, as if it wasn't entirely solid, like it was smaller inside than the outside bit, yet not as if it wasn't all one thing.
I don't know what to do. It's 10pm on a Saturday night and I've looked at all the links on thesite for my area (York at the moment) and nothing is open and all my flatmates are out and I really don't know what to do. Just crying and shaking. I can't call anywhere because I have no credit on my phone. please help. or tell me that it's normal, which you won't because it isn't. I'm so scared it's cervical cancer, and the lump is a tumor. I can't think of anything else it would be.

are you sure it's not just something that hasn't been there all along? as in do you check yourself regularly?
if you're worried get yourself down to your GP on monday morning and until then stop worrying. you'll just get yourself worked up.
So I'm assuming you've found a lump on your cervix? Or was it actually on a vaginal wall? If it's on your cervix, it could be what is known as a Nabothian cyst - I've got one meself.
If I were you I'd make an appointment to have a pelvic just to get it checked out. In the meantime, you can always check out NHS Direct's webpage
:yes:
there are LOADS of things it could be, and the vast majority of them are not serious at all. did you know they raised the age of first smear tests from 20 to 25, cause the incidence of cervical cancer in under 25s was so stupidly small? i'm not saying it definitely isn't, but it's really, really REALLY unlikely.
