Lump behind Urethra?

My urethra is swollen to about three times the normal size and i have a visible large hard lump right behind the urethra, before the vaginal canal. It is extremely sore to the touch. I think this is why it hurts so much to pee. Has anyone else experienced this/know what it is? Thanks!

I dont know if it might be a Bartholin Cyst. I have had one but it is just inside the vaginal opening. They can get quite large and be painful.

Thanks for writing back. From what I have read, Bartholin Cysts happen at the opening. Mine is more inside, behind the urethra...

how do you know you have the lump? did a doctor diagnose it? I would get it checked out and biopsied.

I think I would talk to Boaz or Matia first - whichever is treating you. I had 2 biopsies before they decided it was likely a candida issue and I thought they would never heal. They might be able to recommend something. They might recommend a biopsy but maye something can prevent that.  Doesnt sound like the cyst but they couldnt get mine to drain -did surgery and caused me great vaginal pain and long time healing. I now know Goldenseal might possibly have prevented all that.

Honestly it's so painful, i can barely touch it. I'm terrified to go to gyno as I also have very bad vv. I mentioned to boaz but he's not sure.

These things can be so confusing. Did Boaz suggest that you go have it checked out? Maybe you should specifically ask him if you havent.  I'm sorry that you are in pain. I too have VV . My vagina had caused me all kinds of trouble :) i hope you can get some relief soon.
