Vaginal Cyst

I just had my 6 week check up today and it turns out that what I thought was a prolapse (since the birth of my first child) is actually a cyst. I've been doing kegels 20 x a day thinking it was a prolapse and it wasn't helping at all, so I'm really relieved. This does mean surgery though. Has anyone else experienced a vaginal cyst before? Was the surgery painful?
