    Question

    Hi, this is a bit embarrassing, but last night I was constipated and I felt a very hard lump to the left side of my cervix. It wasn't on my cervix but the lump was protruding through my vaginal wall. It wasn't painful, but quite large, hard and very distressing. I went to the loo this morning and was able to have a number 2. The lump has now gone. Was the lump possible a full rectum?

    Answer

    Yes, that is likely, but if it happens again, you should have it checked!
