Hard ball in vagina... please help!
Okay so I'd say I'm pretty familiar with my own vagina. The thing is though. I was exploring up there today and i noticed a hard ball. I mean I know girls have that but this time it feels extremely different, almost as thoigh its bigger and I feel it every time during insertion of my fingers now. And if I put my fingers on the other side of it, it leads to another hole.. but it seems much more prominent.. like its standing out more than usual. I'm pretty freaked out right now. Is this normal? I've never noticed it like this before...

Good for you for having a self examination ritual. It is very important that you know what your body feels like so you know when something is not right. I hope you are examining your breast regularly as well.
As to the problem you describe. None of us are doctors and it is impossible to examine you over the web. If you are under 14 you need to speak with your mother and tell her that during self-examination of your vagina you have found a lump and it seems to be changing shape Ask her to make an appointment with a GYN for you. Sorry but that is the way it is by law until your 14 and this lump/ball needs to be seen by a doctor. This is nothing sexual and has nothing to do with virginity. Stick to the self-examination story.
If you are over 14 then a Federal Law called HIPPA applies. This law say in part that anyone over the age of 14 has medical confidentiality. This means you can make an appointment with a gyn. Be examined by the doctor and treated all with out momms permission or her being in the exam room with you. In fact she cannot be in the exam room with you unless you invite her as this violates the confidentiality you have with the doctor. The doctor cannot tell anyone what you are examined for, what you are treated for and what is perscribed. This includes birth control pills. Violation of confidentiality by the doctor or staff can result in a prison ter of 5 years. Your written permisssion is needed to tell anyone what you are treated for.
This law was written in part to provide for medical treatment of the reproductive systems of young people like yourself. While primarilly intended fro girls it covers boys as well.
Answer to question: If over 14 make a doctors appointment and see a doctor a GYN. If under 14 talk to mon, but you need to see a doctor.

I would agree that it is time for a checkup. It could be anything as simple as some sort of infection and the doctor can give you antibiotics for it to a small cyst. Don't freak out over it though just go and get your annual and ask your doctor.
