Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported and this small lump. I will like to know for how long this has been going on? If this is visible on a camera, I will like to obtain and review an image. Also, you may want to take an image and indicate the exact site where you feel this lump so that I can evaluate and provide a more personalized and helpful response to you. If this cannot be don, then I will kindly suggest that you get it evaluated by a doctor in your locality during any other routine visits. This is no emergency and requires no specific intervention at this time.

Otherwise, am not particularly worried at this time given the intensity of this discomfort and only during sex associated to the small size.

I hope to hear from you. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Thanks for the image.

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed this attached image. This area seems not to have any vital reproductive organs criss crossing and as such this is probably a small nodule under the skin. Monitor for any possible increased growth or worsening pains. If any ensues, I will request fro direct examination and possibly testing.

I hope this helps put your mind at ease. Let me know how you feel about this.
