Could be a vaginal polyp or cervical polyp.
As you are 52 years now, should get yourself thoroughly by a gynaecologist who will advise you a pap smear or biopsy from the protruding mass for confirming the diagnosis
If it is polyp, treatments can be surgical removal (a very minor procedure). If any infection, should be o.k with appropriate antibiotics
You must take care of yourself, too, along with taking care of your beloved ones
