Lump/swelling in vaginal area, painful and no walk in clinics open

Posted , 3 users are following.

I had noticed a little discomfort rescently that I thought was a cut or something healing and didn't think much of it. But now I'm noticing this lump that's very painful and seems to be getting larger. What could this be?? I am freaking out after googling and just want some real people answers. My google searches have brought me here. Thank you so much

    Sounds like an abcess. You can get it treated at an ER and follow up with your gynecologist. The longer you wait the bigger/worse it will get. With my first one I waited because I didn't know what it was, and by the time I got treatment it was huge and I had to have surgery.  Prayers for healing.

    I want to add that if you are not in massive pain yet, please call an expert OB GYN from the list of doctors you can be referred to and ask on the phone him or the secretary if he/she knows and have experience with bartholin cyst. 

    sometimes ER doctors have no idea and can cause you damage by treating you the wrong way and i do mean even cutting you the wrong way or inserting in there a drainage or what not in a wrong way... So again - avoid ER is possible it's a russian roulette....
