Soft Swelling/Lump outside vagina

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hiya I've had this lump/swelling for quite a long time. I went to see a Dr and she said it's not a bartholin cyst. Then what do you think it is? Do I need to see a skin specialist? There's no pain, no abnormality inside the vagina but yes I've got thick creamy/mild yellowish odorless discharge. It's really soft and painless. I've been taking sitzbath. image

    Your gyno told you it's not a bartholin gland? And this Dr. doesn't seem concerned or interested I. finding out what it is? For starters sounds like you need a new Dr.

      Yes I went to two doctors they said its not bartholin because the swelling goes down till the anus. But not covering the anus park. And it doesn't look like bartholin cyst, they said.

      So they had no idea as to what it was? i had to have both mine removed. my Dr said she had never seen any swollen as big as mine. and they were nothing like that. How long has it been this way? Did it happen suddenly or gradually?

      For quite a long time, more than a year. So do you think it's a bartholin cyst? I stretched my vagina lip and checked if there was any any cyst inside but there was nothing inside except white pieces of I don't know what. I had a video call with a doctor today and she wasn't a gynae but she told me to make appointment with a skin specialist.

      It was small before but then it started growing and became like this.

      I might be crazy but it seems to me that it is something your gyno should take care of. At the very least they should be the one referring you to a Dr. according to what they feel that it is.

      I stretched vag lips and there's no cyst inside. Please have a look. And let me know if you can see anything.

      I have appointment with my Dr on Monday. I'm really scared. Does bartholin cyst look like this? Ive been taking sitz bath but stopped taking them because I feel pain now it's like burnt skin.
