Today, after the doctor poking around my urethra and vagina at a lump, she turns to me and says, "I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what that is. Have some antibiotics and we'll see how it goes in two weeks." Excuse me while I go panic in a corner. FML

OP here, wow didn't expect it to make it on here ? Well so far no change, she even asked me are you sure it's not part of you, like how often does anybody know themselves there. What? I know myself very well there and it's not normal. Got an appointment with the gyno for next week so should be all good :) thought it was suspicious I got an appointment within half hour of ringing...

Go see another doctor. While doctors can't know everything, it was still really stupid of her to tell you to just take antibiotics for a few weeks and "see how it goes".

Do you often get a lump in there?

At least she is honest. It´s rare to find a doctor who admits he doesn't know.

Doctor's know the bad stuff. Hopefully this means it's just a weird vaginal quirk...?

Perhaps a gynaecologist wouldn't be a bad idea...

sorry for your frusteation OP. good news though, most bumps are not cancerous. most are just natural lumps that will go away on their own.

I hope it will go away. But this is the way the NHS works, so OP, keep an eye on it.

You should seek a second opinion...

In that case, I'm glad someone else figured out Crohn's disease.

Most likely it wasn't anything new or that the doctor hasn't seen before. Multiple things can present in the same ways and so the doctor would have no way of knowing specifically what it is just from a simple examination.

As a rule of thumb, if you have a lump where you shouldn't have a lump, it's not good.

Too bad House doesn't exist. more diagnostic minds out there in the world would be useful for this kind of stuff.

I doubt House would even take the case. He only took the interesting cases nobody else could figure out, I doubt one little lump would interest him, unless Cuddy gave him a year's worth of clinic hours.
