I have had this lump on my right side which sounds like a Bartholin Cyst. Ive read that they are usually there for 3 days, but for me ive had it for 3 years. It only gets bigger on certain occasions but im worried. what if it isn't a cyst???

    Hi Mo

    I had my BC for probably 10+ years! I'd get it checked by your GP next time you have your Pap smear

    I would say you do have one. For me its the abscess that last 3 or more days but there is usually always a tiny lump there just waiting to flare up and cause an abscess. Go to your doctor just to be sure. I find I get the abscess when I an extremely stressed. Go to your doctors for peace of mind
