What Causes Painful Lump Inside The Vagina?

I have had a painful lump inside my vagina, on the posterior wall for past week. It feels rubbery and is in the area where I would have had stitches after the birth of my son 9 years ago. I am wondering if I may have developed a keloid scar here? Is this possible after so much time has elapsed? I have had no trouble with that area until now? What else could it be if not related to scarring from childbirth? I am a midwife, so understand the physiology!

Hi, thanks for sharing your recent health problem with us!

Well, I've gone through your description and can perceive the tension building within you; but truly speaking, if I were your treating consultant for this case of painful vaginal lump I would like to say you, ' not to worry!'

Yes, this is fairly a common occurrence in women of childbearing age! This is nothing but a Bartholin's cyst recently infected due to some region. It is a congenital cyst related to lateral vaginal wall and prone to get inflamed and cause lump and pain! This is not keloid!

Therefore please get a physical examination by your local gynecologist for confirmation and necessary treatments like antibiotics along with drainage / excision.

Hope you got your answer; please revert back to us if any more queries on this/

Wishing you good health!
