Hi,
One month ago I found a lump in my outer labia. It's hard, painless, about the size of a marble and it moves a bit (left and right) but at the bottom it is attached. It is under the skin and not visible. I think that one the right side there is a similar lump but much smaller. I went to the doctor who said it is a gland. I want to believe him BUT I am scared that it could be something worse, like soft tissue sarcoma (which can develop in a gland). I know it is rare but I also read that they get misdiagnosed often because they resemble benign conditions.
I feel like I have to get it checked out more, like ask for a scan or a biopsy or whatever, because he just felt it..so how can he really know? But another part of me knows that I should just believe my doctor and not bother him, especially during corona. This is keeping me very restless because I am not sure if I should pursue it further or just try to leave it at this (which to me feels like a risk). Any advice on what I should/could do?
Thanks in advance
