Lump on cervix but consultant said it wasn’t there

I have a lump on my cervix. I can feel it if I put my finger in my vagina - it’s a smooth hard bump kind of at the 8 o clock position if you imagine my cervix is a clock. I sometimes (sorry TMI) experience constipation and pushing on the back vaginal wall helps ease out the poo, hence why I have felt my cervix. I’ve done this a few times and I know the lump wasn’t there 6 months ago.

I went to the GP who performed a speculum exam and said they could see an inflamed area and referred me for a colposcopy. But the consultant said he couldn’t see anything abnormal, he tried feeling the lump with a finger too and asked if I was sure I wasn’t just feeling poo through the vagina wall. I’m definitely not, I know what that feels like, I know what my cervix feels like, and this lump is new. But he basically said there was nothing there and the colposcopy showed a normal cervix.

i know I should be reassured but how can he be sure it’s nothing if he didn’t even feel the lump or believe it was there? He has referred me for a scan (I assume ultrasound?) to double check, but instead of feeling reassured I just feel gaslit and dismissed and none the wiser.

I don’t have any other symptoms like irregular bleeding which I guess is a plus but I’m concerned something is wrong and it’s just been missed. Any advice on what to do next would be most welcome.

Wait for the tests and see what they show. I guess he's seen a lot of cervixes and he thinks it's normal, perhaps the inflammation has gone down since you saw the gp.
