hi there,
i was recently visiting an underdeveloped country and when i returned, i noticed something that i never noticed before, a small pouch-like bump between the openings to my vagina and anus. it's actually right below the latter, kinda attached to it. is that normal? does everyone have that? it doesnt hurt, but i never remember having that. i am not a sexually active person now, but i did get pretty sick when i was out of the country, just traveller's diarrahea, but i dont know if that would have anything to do with this. i'm in grad school and so i wanted to check this out here before going to the doctor to find out this is something everyone has. can anyone please help me? i'm worried about cancer and other scary things. thanks so much.

It's really hard to say what it could be. Especially when traveling to other contries. They have things we don't. I don't want to scare you! It could be as simple as a hemorrhoid. But, definitely get it checked out. Okay?
Take care,
