Bartholin Cyst + Period + Menstrual Cup = Hell
If getting your period wasn't bad enough, I get extremely nauseous while on my period & suffer from horrible cramps. I discovered that a Bartholin Cyst came back. Couldn't figure out why it was extremely painful to insert & remove my menstrual cup until I grabbed a mirror and started feeling around, tiny pearl in the morning by afternoon was the size of a ping pong ball! My labia look like it was in a fight and lost! Shark Week just turned into a living hell. Called my gyno who said to "Wait until you're done menstruating to come in" Wish men could experience the blades of a blender inside you like cramps, plus the inability to close your legs or sit comfortably because of a Frickin' cyst. Hot bath with tree tea oil and witch hazel to try and get it to drain on its own. Major mother trucker.
