I have a hard lump that was originally diagnosed as a vaginal cyst.
However, it has increased in size and is very painful. It is inflamed now and hurts to sit down and causes pain during intercourse. You can't see it on the outside, but I can feel it.
When I saw my GI doctor she thought it was vaginal related, but when I saw my gyno she thought it was related to my pouch. Basically, you can feel it in the vagina, but it's in the area between the vagina and the anus. The "lump" appears to get larger when I'm having a flare up of pouchitis and having increased bm.
I spoke with my surgeon today and he wants to examine me and possibly remove it. He said he would have a gyno present during the surgery.
Has anyone experienced this? Does this sound like a cyst, scar tissue, or a fistula?
I have been dealing with this for about a year and a half and it seems to be increasing in size and causing me more discomfort.
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
