Lizzy,
I'm not a doctor, so treat this as girl to girl advice. You may have
very normal organs, or you may have a little cyst or something. Many
girls get bartholian's cysts or fatty cysts on their female organs and
it is very easily treated by a gynecologist. That is good that you are
going to a doctor and can find out what it truly is. You may just need
your anatomy explained further and gynecologists do that kind of the
thing all the time. Good luck and don't worry too much. A majority of
obvious growths are just cysts and not anything more serious, but it is
a good idea to get it checked out. You'll feel better knowing more afer
your appointment.
