hi everyone, i haven't been here awhile. working two jobs while attempting to get accustomed to the newest one...the commute rocks by the way.....i digress...this is sort of personal but i figure come to the people who may and usually do know....other day i noticed it stung when i voided...discovered a hard nodule on one side of my vulva which seems to be embedded ( like those reporters overseas lol) and tender...researching has led me to discover it could be any one of a thousand things, mostly requiring biopsy just to find out and i have an appointment to be seen monday. my question is if any of you have had similar symptomology and if so, if you would be kind enough to share with me some of your experiences, discoveries, frustrations over being told "it's nothing" when it turned out to be something , etc...i don't have any dismal feelings or anything, but given the way some women are approached gynecologically these days, without much seriousness, i am really very curious about other's experiences with this topic, especially as it is a personal first for me....the nodule is about .5 to 1 cm, oval with a bit of a depressed center under the skin. no skin color change, and tender, although that seems to be due to the space it occupies...nothing like getting up close and personal......any advice or info beyond what i have already mentioned, would be gratefully appreciated. will keep you updated....thanks a bunch!
