While in the waiting room??!!

Question

O my goodness! Such a crazy day, TMI and personal to share on Facebook, lol. But here goes! Monday- noticed a lump down there, passed it off as a hemorrhoid. . . Tuesday- had some fun w the hubby, Wed- It had now DOUBLED in size! And was hurting :( Thurs - little bigger, hurting more. No Dr apt available. Fri - hurt like he**!!! But had stuff to do, didn't make it to urgent care. Looked up online what it might be . . . Concluded I'm dying, haha, just kidding! Found most likely diagnoses was a Bartholin Cyst, which I had NEVER heard of before! 3 different sites said that if it was large and painful to see a Dr. SO! Today! I tried a hot bath, no change, took some Ibuprofen, I had things to do, so I just kind of waddled through the day until I couldn't bear it any longer! It HURT! Time for Urgent Care. Well, front desk had me sit down to fill out papers, got up to give them back, sat down, got up, about 4 times for various reasons, in and out very slowly of a low chair. Finally got called back, told to undress waist down, pull down my undies, there's blood!!!! OMG, Dr came in, lol, "so, have you had a Bartholin cyst before?"  No, but I think it just ruptured . . ."Let's take a look, yup! Looks like it gave out in 3 separate spots! I can numb it and cut it open more to drain it faster, or you can just go home and place a hot compress on it and let it drain in it's own . . ." I waddled out, lol. I cannot believe it ruptured in the waiting room! Now I'm here, with a washcloth between my legs, trying not to cry from the pain of split skin and watching Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, lol. PRAYING it drains completely by itself and I don't have to face the Dr again 😳

Answer

Put Epsom salts in the bath, it helps a hell of a lot 😮

Answer

Omg is that what it is I have the same thing then 
.... 😭😭😭😭☹️ I was too scared to go to the dr so I should make an appointment 😭 ? Also idk if this is anon or not I didn't check but would you find just posting exactly what it looked like? Doesn't have to be you it can be google or ect...

Answer

I know this post is a few days old but I've had a total of 9!!! Yes 9!!! Just a heads up once you get it your likelihood of getting it again doubles!! I found a correlation with mine and was able to stop them from returning. Turns out i was knocking myself shaving and cause it every time. Now I I only wax or use clippers.

Answer

I had one about a year ago, first doctor I saw misdiagnosed it and just gave me antibiotics which didn't work. Several days later I was barely able to walk from the pain and had a small surgery to drain it and a catheter was put in to help it drain. Luckily it didn't come back!

Answer

This is both terrifying and hilarious. Hope you get better soon tho luv, cheers!

Answer

I literally just had 3 of these, I was so ready for accusing my boyfriend of 14 months of cheating and giving me an std lol mine went down with baths and I used lanacaine to numb the lumps (although I scared myself by numbing everywhere else too lmao) turned out, cuz I had been ill in hospital, on antibiotics and on my period,my body was stressed and this can cause them.

Answer

I had to have surgery 2xs!! The first time they drained it and it came right back, the second time they removed the whole wall of the cyst, been fine ever since.. Glad yours isnt that severe!!

Answer

Heat compressions are always the best for those, unless they do not drain entirely then a dr is recommended to get the core out. DO NOT squeeze them yourself! The pus can move to another pocket, and cause another to form else where later on. Glad you got some relief tho! A&D; ointment after its done draining helps prevent infection. Best of luck
