Bartholin's Cyst connected to discomfort when peeing?

Hello,

Bartholin's Cyst is a fairly new issue for me. I recently had it drained at by my OBGYN..about a month ago and it's already back. It is not infected so it's mostly just annoying. It's about the size of a ping pong ball. For the last two weeks I've been experiencing a strange sensation when I pee. Not quite painful but definitely discomfort. At first I thought perhaps I had a UTI but I went to the doctor and that came back clear. I've never had a UTI so I'm not entirely sure what it feels like. After the doctor told me that wasn't the problem, I started to pay closer attention to the discomfort. For a couple of days I felt like it was inside my vagina. Now I think it is actually pressure on the cyst. 

Has as anyone else experienced this? I definitely feel like it's more localized to the left side which is where the cyst is. I feel it mostly when I am nearing the end of peeing. In a way it feels like a really strong urge to keep peeing but then it sort of turns into pressure/pain on that left side.

I was not able to see my doctor when I went in so I saw the nurse practitioner and asked her if it could be related and she said she didn't think so because the urethra is pretty far from the vagina. I feel like she really didn't know.

    Hi my first cyst I had was huge like this and I was constantly feeling the need to pee I ended up having to have a MRI scan to see if they could find any more cysts and unfortunately they found cysts from my urethra to my bladder very small ones as well as the huge cyst hanging out of me sad
