Bartholin abscess - 3 weeks and still in pain!
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi! I'm new here so go easy on me please!
I'm 26 and had my first bartholin abscess marsupialisation on the 2nd March. I was terrified and hate blood so all in all was not happy about going in. The op went well, and I was home that evening.
I had a serious lack of follow up information given to me at the hospital and through a pdf I stumbled across online managed to figure out what to do. However, it's been just over 3 weeks and it still is really uncomfortable to sit, it's still hurting a lot if I catch the skin when I wipe after I've been for a wee, and it still let's off a smell I can only describe as, well, medicinal or clinical. I'm terrified to look at it because I really upset myself checking jt after the op - no-one told me he have about 8 bright yellow stitches and I sobbed my little heart out 
All in all, I'm just looking for some advice before I ring my gp and book a follow up appointment. I've had to leave my work this evening because I couldn't get comfortable sitting down on the office chairs but I can't afford to keep coming home.
