What is this soft lump between my vagina and anus?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

That is called: the perineal body but you also could develop a cyst, abscess, fistula or hemorrhoid in this region. If something feels different there than it has in the past see your GYN or PCP to confirm the diagnosis.
