A member asked:

Can a urethral caruncle be firm rather than fleshy? i was diagnosed with one but mine is firm - perhaps bc it is thrombosed? worried its actually a misdiagnosis by obgyn. im 5 weeks postpartum and its rare in my age. im using estrogen cream.

Uretheral caruncle: https://www.healthline.com/health/urethral-caruncle#diagnosis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6174723/ Estrogen should help resolve but if concerned consider second opinion and biopsy
