Large lump dischaefged from my vagina

12 years ago

I weas douching the othe day in the shower and a large, grapefruit size viscous lump fell out. I picked it up and examined it (I am always intrigued about what is happening with my body, but have never had this happen before.

The mass, like I said was large and a sort of pliable, it kind of reminded me of "Slime", the toy from the 70's/80's where it was a big wad of gooey stuff that could roll through your fingers.

I have no idea what this is. I know I am not pregnant so this one perplexes me.

This is me shaking my head in disbelief. I don't know if you are seriously asking this question but, I'll answer as if you are.

If you can stomach picking the mass up and playing with it, you should have put it in a plastic bag and into the freezer until you could get in to see the doctor. I doubt anyone here can tell you what it was but I'm sure they will all agree that you need to be seen by a gynecologist to determine the problem. A grapefruit size lump is NOT normal.

Grapefruit size? I'm with Pris on this one.

What color was the substance? What did you do with it? Is there any residual substance remaining of the same type (meaning that it's still being produced)? If so, gently wipe with a Kleenex or something, bag it, and take it to your doctor. IMMEDIATELY!

I took the food out like you suggested velvet, and it does look a bunch smaller. hubbie said the same thing about the feathers covering the other chicks crop. This hen is a leghorn and is supposed to be the same age but is twice as big as the new hampshire and sexlink chick. when we first brought her home I was a bit concerned she kept having to sit down a lot and ate from that position also i think she was just so big she had trouble holding up her own weight. Its pretty much what I expect from getting her from a dealer that orders batches from a hatchery. We are keeping a close eye on her. thats probably why I even noticed the lump. I think her feathers are already starting to grow in though. she has some really white downey feathers coming in under her wings hubbie says they wouldn't grow that fast. but I tend to really feed all my animals, and family. Its a mother thing I think. LOL so maybe the good feed and accomodations is already making a difference. thats my wishful thinking anyway. S . thanks for all the info. Velvet you are just too good to be true. CI

Looks like crown gall. If that is what it is, tree should be removed and burnt or bagged up and placed in trash. Soil around it will also be liable to be infested by the bacteria causing crown gall. If you are in the US nearest Cooperative Extension office may be able to help with diagnosis and treatment. For contact information type name of your state followed by the word extension into a search engine dialog box.

Jim, you made such an excellent choice! I love your roses because they all are known to have amazing fragrance to them! I try so hard to get roses with fragrance, but not always do I luck out... Zyperiris, I would definitely get Gemini from Jackson & Perkins...You will have better luck with them having fragrance at J & P because not all Gemini have fragrance...I love the scent of mine (smells like honey and and peaches)...Advantages of Gemini are that they flourish and look beautiful even in 95-97 degree heat; they are rated exhibition form roses by the ARS and are highly resistant to diseases and are very vigorous! Fragrant Cloud makes...delicious rose petal jelly--haha! man, when I eat that stuff I feel like I'm eating plums, super-saturated kick-pow jam, it's got flavor intensity to the max. It's got a very strong nice perfume, but my favorite perfume will always be Mr. Lincoln. Disadvantage of Fragrant Cloud is that it is very, very difficult to color match whereas Gemini looks beautiful anywhere you plant it! Special Occasion is a very beautiful rose but!!!!!it's got a split personality. It has a classical very lovely shape from young to maturity blooms, but once it's past mature it becomes an antique Souvenir bloom (google search Souvenir de la Maison) and you'll know what I mean. If you don't like the curliness and petticoat shape of this type of antique rose, you may not like Special Occasion... You see Special Occasion is a long-lived blossom, it takes forever! for it to fade and thus it has a split personality-- a breathtaking classical hybrid tea, but once its past its mature bloom stage, it becomes a cute petite OGR. It is now currently sold by Vintage Gardens. Mine was supposed to be exceptionally fragrant, but in my opinion it is only medium in fragrance so far...Also with Special Occasion it is OUCH!if you pick it up by the blossom neck-it's like a bristle brush of very tiny miniscule thorns...

Cost +, not to exceed or Lump Sum Contract?
Q
Comments (14)
Many thanks to pbx2 for posting those articles....so much to think about. I truly trust my Amish crew, but the contractor wants to use expensive products.....so I may have to ask ways that we can cut some of the costs. I really miss DH at these times...since he was an architect/contractor and we "thought" he would be taking care of our new build and now I am left alone to do it by myself. He had planned to act as our GC in our new build and pick out and arrange for all materials that we used. He had many contractor contacts, so we could have saved a lot of money, but now he is gone and the business has closed. All of your responses are appreciated, even if I do not understand them all. I get angry at the person who sold that condo right out from under me just because I asked for a mold inspection, and left me stuck with this decision to build. There is nothing there to buy and this house is sold, so I must find somewhere to live other than stay with my friend very long.

Yes, this is a serious post, and I figured it out. My doctor has me on the Pill continuously, never taking the placebos so I haven't had a period in over 12 years. What the stuff was is the accumulation of ovulation (sans egg, of course) that just collected and all came out in one lump. Now, thinking back, I haven't had the discharge in several months, so this makes sense.

The color was like Vaseline, an opaque yellow, but the doctor said it was fine and if I have any more problems to call her.

Okay, maybe the fruit size was wrong, perhaps a medium orange or small grapefruit.

Thank you for your concern and help, I really appreciate it and will post back if I find anything else out.

Sooo happy you talked to the Doc. I would never have guessed that one. Actually, I've not heard about never stopping the pill at least periodically. Every few months or so but then I haven't had to concern myself with it in a good while. 12 years. Really? I'm surprised your doctor didn't warn you of this possibility. But then, I wouldn't have remembered if they had after 12 years.

I have mishapen ovaries and periods for me are like someone cutting me open with a rusty butter knife. It is the most horrible pain I have ever experienced (I don't have children so I can't compare that) but it was either do a hysterectomy or do the Pill trial, the pain was a full blown 10 on the pain scale. This was still in study stage back then and for me it was the perfect answer. No PMS, no period, no pain.

I am seeing my doctor Monday for my yearly exam, so if anything is out of the ordinary now I will let you know. Thanks for your concern!

Maybe it's time to consider having your ovaries removed. Since they aren't functioning because of the pill, they won't be missed.

I think that this type of surgery can be done with laparoscopic incisions now. Tiny incisions, tiny scars.

I disagree, agnespuffin. Removing her ovaries would cause hormonal problems that are irreversible. Possibly throwing her into premature menopause. Leaving in the ovaries is the reason for partial hysterectomies. It eliminates the need for hormone replacement therapy after removing the uterus. HRT is not only for hot flashes and menopausal symptons. Estrogen also protects your bones and heart. Why mess with that at her age and chance brittle bones and heart problems at an early age?

I am with Pris on this one, I have hypothyroidism and my hormones are so messed up to begin with. We are finally balancing them with Synthroid and I don't want to have a procedure I don't need if there is a tiny pill I can take daily that will do the same thing without disrupting my hormonal balance.

When I see the doctor Monday I will ask but last time we visited this option we both agreed it wasn't in my best interest. Thanks though!

Upsetting your hormones isn't the only thing a hysterectomy can do. You could get a blood clot in your lungs, and after that, no hormones at all. I have lived with this situation for 33 years. Premature menopause is hell. I'm 77 now and still having hot flashes.

My gyn told me to hang on to my uterus and ovaries,I need them..They do more than you know.old dr agnes up there..

Old dr. agnes is 81 years old and knows many many women that had ovaries or uterus removed. Sometimes it's the better choice. Agnes had hers out at the age of 40. It improved her life about 95%

Agnes also worked for a Gynocologist practice for years. Artificially stopping the menstual cycle for years can cause problems too. Some doctors do not agree. If you happen to have one that thinks it OK, fine! Time will tell if she is right.
Good Luck!
