Has anyone ever had a bartholins cyst??!

Question

Hi!
I'm 31 weeks pregnant and the last two days I have had an intense pain down below, kind of in the fold between my leg and vagina.. I googled a lot of course and I am convinced it's a bartholins cyst! I'm just wondering if anyone else has had these and how you got rid of it? 
I had a smear test last week and have a doctors appointment this week coming so I will also ask then if this is still bad. It's so sore to sit or get up or walk and everything!

Answer

I too found out I had one by researching. I applied a warm compress on the cyst whenever I could and it slowly drained by itself.

Answer

I wouldn't wait.
Go to the doctor asap.
I had a skenes gland infection and I couldn't walk, sit, or lay down comfortably.
When I finally went to the doctor, she said that no one should ever wait long if there is intense pain down there or if there is any type of bumps.

My advice is to 1) make an appointment with your doctor 2) try taking a sitz bath which is when you fill your tub with enough warm water to cover the area, add Epson salt, and soak in it for 30 minutes or so. Do this many times throughout the day, but clean your tub with bleach after every sitz bath.

Hope this helps!

Answer

Yes I had one last month. Then another one this month. Hate them

Answer

I had it when I was pregnant - so painful! I got put on antibiotics which I was told was safe but then I had a miscarriage, I'll never know if that caused it but I'm certainly avoiding any drugs this time round just in case!

Answer

I've had one. The doctor gave me antibiotics to treat it. Not sure if that's an option when you're pregnant though?
