Bartholin cyst?

Posted , 2 users are following.

 Hi I'm worried sick I have a lump in the same area as many on here have described and thinking it maybe a bartholin cyst my outer labia on both sides at the front really hurt. Could a cyst be the cause of this, has anyone else experienced the same? I am desperately worried!

    I have had them on my outer labia, but they are not considered bathrolin at that point because it isn't on that gland. I have gotten benign cysts on my wrists, top of my shoulder blade. They can form anywhere joints meet, glands or abscesses can occur anywhere a clogged duct becomes infected. The ones on my wrists, come and go and just cause discomfort. The one on my shoulder has been there a few years and doesn't bother me, is just a small lump, mustly under the skin. The ones on my vagina usually became abscessed. I had about 20 incision and drainings on both sides and the bartholin. I eventually had surgery and they cut me open and scraped me, removing 20 cysts! Ive felt a lump and lots of sensitivity from the scar tissue, but haven't had another cyst since Dec 2015. smile Tea tree oil really came in handy for me as an antiseptic and pain reliever. It even helped some cysts go away on their own. There are other home remedies lots of people have used successfully. Lots of sitz baths! Best advice through all my experience, don't let them over prescribe you antibiotics! Now I have lots of stomach issues from them killing off all the good bacteria.

      Thanks for your reply . I don't actually have any lumps on my labia just a pain. It also started in the opposite side to the lump on my vagina. I'm confused and so stressed i can't eat😥
