A bump on my cervix?
Hello! I'm 22 years old, virgin and I've never been checked out but about, a year to a half year ago I noticed a bump on my cervix, it's not very big and it comes and goes, or maybe I'm just not always noticing it. It's never popped but as far as I can tell it's never gotten any bigger and it might be appearing and fading, I have no idea. I'm just worried it's cancerous and I don't know when I'll be able to get in to get checked out but it worried me every time I find it.

Hm. Honestly, it's pretty hard for a woman to get up there and actually ACCURETLY feel what is going on with her own cervix. I'd try not to feel your own cervix. If we could do that, women would do their own checks in pregnancy to see how far along they were cervix opening wise. :>) You are of an age that most women do get a pelvic exam. I'd encourage this and allow them to examine your cervix. You can see your regular doctor or go to somewhere like Planned Parenthood if you live in the US and paying for a doctor is hard. good luck
