TMI bartholin cyst anyone had one

[ree]

i spent monday to wednesday in pain then thursday to this monring in complete agony taking panadol every 4hrs i have never had one before and it was horrid hurt to sit then to get up was mega pain. Just wondering if you have had one what did you do i was told about heat working so used a heatpack last night and it popped this morning ewww i did a google and am pretty sure this is what it was/is still sore but heaps better pain wise also it was huge

Im assuming this is what it was but it wasnt were they say it should be so maybe it was just a cyst

Bartholin's glands they're on the just the inside entrance of the vagina. So that would be something else altogether.

Cysts are painless, abcesses painful, from memory of reading about it.

Ask a chemist or see a GP.

Ree, that is what it could be. I had one a few years back and it got to well over golfball size but by the time I got in to see my GP it had gone down enough that 1 he didn't need to lance and drain it at the hospital and 2 I didn't need antibiotics. It was extremely painful and I had no idea what it was because I'd never had one before so you can imagine how worrying it is!

Emc, yep they are on the inside, but when they get infected like that, they become quite large and you can certainly feel them in the area Ree described. A cyst isn't always painless either.

i had an infected bartholins cyst and had to have it surgically lanced (it surpassed the size of a golf ball within a couple of hours) - it was nasty. was inside the labia - not on the outside where leg meets labia - that sounds more like it may have been an infected sebaceous cyst (which i get semi regularly -but not that big - and they tend to pop on their own in an ewwwww fashion)

the scar for my bartholins cyst surgery is sorta alongside my clitoris to give you an idea of location
