Hi - I just wanted to post with an update, I'm finding this hard to write as I know how lucky I am and so very grateful.  I'm hoping it might help others as I know I found it so hard to get through the weeks that led up to me getting surgery and a diagnosis.  I had a normal, routine internal examination by my GP in relation to a bladder prolapse at the start of January and the GP found a firm and fixed mass on the anterior wall of my vagina.  I was red flagged and got an appointment within the 2-weeks.  The consultant scheduled me for surgery, stating that he had found 2 masses, anterior and posterior but he did reassure me that he didn't think they were sinister.  I had the surgery, it was a general anaesthetic but done as a day procedure and all went well.  I waited 2 weeks and 2 days for my results and thank goodness they were benign.  What they removed were fibroepithelial polyps (15x13x4mm and 23x7x4mm) with no evidence of VaIN or invasive malignancy.  Whilst I was waiting I had been googling, which isn't prob a good idea, and I was never able to find anything that reassured me, there didn't seem to be a common reason for what it could have been but thank goodness, here I am and I am so very lucky.  I am so grateful to the champions on this forum too....  not sure I would have got through one weekend and the messages I received really, really helped me.  xx
