Now I don't know why you turned to us for an answer rather than seeing a doctor but I can guess at some reasons.
1. Your concerned that this bump or round ball as you call it has something to do with sex. A lump in your vagina has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with your health and the health and well being of your reproductive system
I have no idea of what it can be but whatever it is it needs to be diagnosed and removed as it probably does not belong there.
2. You could be worried that it may be cancer. Again only a doctor can make this diagnosis. Fact is if it is the sooner you know the better your chances that the cancer hasn't and doesn't spread. If it is cancer and the odds are great it is not, the odds are in your favor of a cure and you can enjoy a healthy sex life and have children when you're ready.
3. Your sexually active and you don't want mom finding out. First off the doctor cannot tell if you are sexually active or not. Only that your Hymen has been ruptured. You could have ruptured your hymen with a tampon, masturbating, bike riding or exercising. There is no way to tell if you are sexually active unless there is semen in your vagina which there wouldn't be 72 hours after intercourse.
3a. Under a law called HIPPA if you are over 14 years of age you have full medical confidentiality for any problems concerning your reproductive system. HIPPA is a Federal Law and this section was passed by congress so that young people like yourself would seek medical advice when needed or to have questions answered concerning their reproductive system. So that they could speak freely and openly with the doctor which would allow the doctor to make a proper diagnose.
You do not need parental permission to make a doctors appointment to see a doctor, to see that doctor or be treated by that doctor. The medical records are confidential and cannot be seen by anyone you have not given the doctor specific written permission to show or discuss these records with. The doctor cannot discuss your visit with your parent without your written permission. Mom can no longer be in the exam room with you when you are having any type of female exam.
All you must say to the doctor is you invoke your rights under HIPPA. You can even ask for and receive birth control medication. All of this is covered under your parents health insurance.
I have now debunked any reason you have for not seeing a doctor. Please for your own best health interest see a doctor. This has nothing to do with sexual activity if you are sexually active, that I'm fairly positive of.
I do suggest you take mom along with you and that you do invoke your HIPPA rights. Once the doctor makes the diagnoses if surgery is needed you may at that point want the doctor to talk with mom so she can help you make any decisions that may need to be made.
