Yesterday I had a routine smear test. While the nurse was ‘looking’ she noticed a rash on my vulva. She seemed concerned and said she wanted to get a femal doctor to come in and have a look. While we were waiting I asked her what kind of rash and she said she had never seen anything like it 
.
The doctor came in and had a look and said to the nurse maybe it’s cysts. She asked me some questions and squeezed the area. There is no pain at all. I have felt these lumps but I am rather lumpy down there anyway ( I have had abscesses in pregnancy and during my period since I was a teenager - I just put it down to a surge in hormones). I can feel these lumps and they feel very fleshy and quite big but I believe I have had them for years - although maybe not as big - I just can’t remember of be sure. They are on the left side of my vulva and the flesh almost feels loose.
The doctor finished by saying that she was sending me to the gynaecologist so that they can have a look.
Anyway as you can imagine I have massively built this up in my head and now I’m terrified I’ve got cancer. I’m trying to be rational and say to myself that they are only cysts and harmless but in reality I feel sick with worry and stressed that I can’t fine a rational explanation for them. I’m 38 and have got two young children.
