Hi everyone,

I've had cyst/abscess problems in my vulva for nearly 3 years.

It started as a Bartholin's but tracked into other tissues. I still have a small lump (granulation) which weeps. This whole time the lymph node on the same side in my groin has ached to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes it has been really painful. I know they work hard to get rid of infection, but I am currently on 3 months of antibiotics - but it is still aching.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this? I have had surgery twice on this one. I got one on the other side more recently but the lymph node on the left side does not ache. (That burst naturally - but is still discharging months later)

Every swab I have had has been inconclusive.

Mine don't come and go, they are always there, just different in terms of size and painfulness.

I have mentioned my achy lymph node in groin to a number of Drs and consultants but they never seem that interested.

Interested to hear from anyone who has had similar.

I have tried all the things - turmeric, tea tree oil, silica, sitz baths, acupuncture, antibiotics, surgery...

Good luck to all fellow sufferers.

Vic

    Make a lymph detox, 3 days with

    2 calendula tea

    1 l fresh grapefruit juice

    750 ml fresh orange juice

    250 ml fresh lemon juice

    mix them, drink it all day.

    Continue for the whole 3 days, no eating, nothing, stay active. You will see results after 3 days with the cyst.

    After 3 days start eating green leafs: spinach, broccoli, collard green, lettuce.

    Fruits like: blueberries, blackberries, raspberries.

    Spinach has a better effect steamed.

    Broccoli is more recommended raw (has an enzyme for immunity system).

    Eat both ways, and raw, every day!, and steamed.

    Eat garlic every day.

    Make a GREEN soup: spinach, broccoli, green leaves, celery stalks, carrot, onion. You can add after few days beet, parsley at the end. You can boil carrot , celery and onion, steam the rest, then blend everything and make a cream soup.

    Use sea salt only.

    Drink plant tea, like calendula, mullein, clematis, thyme, fennel.

    Use extract plants for lymph: Mullein (verbascum densiflorum) and Clematis (clematis vitalba)

    Extracts for immunity system: echinacea, goldenseal, cat's clow

    Extracts for parasites: Wormwood and Black walnut

    Extract for inflammation: Cranberries, Burdock root, St John's Worth

    Continue to eat only green leaves, fresh salads, soups, fresh fruits, add them one by one. (no meat, fish, butter, diary products, beverages, coffee etc)

    It will take until you will see the lymph node disappear, and some weeks after to make sure you are stable.

    Check on the internet what is a lymph node in that area (usually is a colon problem), the lymph system, lymph detox, check everything you eat.

      Hi cimg,

      Thanks for your reply. I would definitely be up for trying a detox diet, but I'm concerned as I am already one month into 3 months of antibiotics which I need to eat to be able to take - so three days on juice wouldn't work right now. I know you aren't meant to stop taking ABs mid course but they are making my stomach very sore.

      Did your cyst go on this diet? Also my Bartholin's has morphed into a vulval cyst so I wonder if that would help with that type of abscess.

      I eat loads of organic veg and eat a plant based diet. I have never had problems with constipation (apart from when I've had codeine.) Based on this would you still think it was a colon problem? Wouldn't that cause both nodes to be inflamed?

      Thanks again

      you don't let your body recover by itself...

      you will know better what to do when you get informed and read about I've told you...

      eating veggies and stand away from constipation doesn't say much...

      you better stop now the antibiotics... are not even recommended
