3 weeks ago I had sex and in the middle of intercourse I got a pain and felt swelling and to my surprise the left side of my vagina like the full on my left lip had blew up like a balloon I didn't know wether to laugh or cry, I went to the doctors and she said it was a burst blood vessel maybe because at the time it was extremely bruised, a week later it was still the same and my doctor gave me antibiotics and imflammetry tablets but these have done nothing for me, I am now on week 3 and my lump has not hanged at all however I have spotted clusters on blisters on the inside of my legs but i thought it could be from sanitary towels however they look like Herpe spots but my doctor said I had no transmitted disease or infections, can someone please help I don't know what the lump is or what is wrong with me

    I'm not sure about the blisters, but the lump definitely sounds like a bartholins cyst. (The first time I had it, it popped up during intercourse too) Are you going to your general practitioner or an obgyn? It's definitely something to see an obgyn about if you're not already.

      I just went to my normal doctor, where would I be able to see a obgyn?

      You should be able to find an obgyn by googling gynecological offices in your area. Depending on your insurance though you may need a federal from your regular doctor. You could find out by calling your insurance company. And make sure you find a good obgyn! I saw a number of them and a good one made all the difference.
