What's this lump?

Question

My girlfriend had found a lump inside her vagina. What could this be?

Has your girlfriend ever had a pelvic exam? If no, or if not lately, then she should visit her doctor and get checked out⁠. That’s the only way she’ll figure out what that lump is. The best I could suggest is it may be her cervix⁠. That’s the lower tip of the uterus⁠, and it feels like a rounded bump at the end of the vagina⁠. Otherwise, it could be the G-spot, which is located on the ventral (belly-side) wall of the vagina, about 3 or 4cm in from the vaginal entrance. But there’s just too many possibilities for what it is, so her best bet would be to just see a doctor.

    If you’ve been reading Scarleteen for a while, you might already know that for many years now, we’ve heard from a good deal of young women who are deeply ashamed of and disgusted by these parts of their own bodies.

    We take this very seriously, and have always wanted to do everything we could to try and help dispel all kinds of body shame or hatred, including that of the vulva. Over the next couple of months, we’re going to go ahead and take the risk of publishing some photos of real-person vulvas, because we’ve found something we think is beautifully done, very much needed, and that we think can be of great benefit to many of our readers, whether they have vulvas themselves or not.
