Before I give you my final answer, could you please give me some additional information? Please describe where the growth is. Take a mirror and look at your vagina. Imagine you are looking at a round clock, with 12 o'clock on top, 6 o'clock at the bottom, and 3 and 9 o'clock on the sides. Where is the growth located? How big is it? Give me the dimensions or compare it to a fingertip, a cherry, or something else. Have you noticed it growing or did you just discover it? What color does it have? Is it hard or soft? Try to give me as much information as you can, and I will answer you right back. If you are having a hard time getting through to me, please e-mail me at info@cvillewellness.com. Sincerely, Annette Owens, MD PhD
