What Does Lump Inside Vagina Indicate?

My sister has the Mirena birth control, however she is experiencing pain in her vagina, when you used her finger to check around she felt a hard lump (quarter size) on the wall of her vagina... What could this be and should she go to the emergency room right away?

Hi,
This is likely to be a Bartholin's cyst. This is not a serious problem but I suggest you see your doctor for assessment. Sometimes it is necessary to treat these cysts with drainage or surgical removal for long term benefit.
Regards,
