What Could Lump Between Vagina And Anus Indicate?

I have just noticed a lump yesterday about the size of a small grape between my vagina and anus, on the left hand side. I have been under alot of stress recently and have lost a lot of weight, and have not had a period for 3 months (I am 42). I am worried that something has 'fallen down' or is now 'sticking out' of my body. I had piles after giving birth to my 2 children and don't know if this could be the same thing, and am using anusol at the moment, no sign of shrinking yet. I am very worried about what it could be. It feels quite hard, and is not that sore. I have a docs appointment, but not until Thursday.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and elucidate history.
The lump you described is not a pile , nor it is related to the menses.
This looks to be just a boil which has got organized due to body's healing process. You can help more by a course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.

Surgery is indicated only if it is not responding to medical treatment/ redness/ abscess formation/ if it looks like a fistula-in-ano-.
I find this answer helpful
