Haven Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just noticed a lump right inside my vagina, maybe 0.25 inches in. It's about the size of a cherry, and it's blocking most of the opening. It hasn't always been there, but I recently had a yeast infection and I'm not sure if it's just something normal that's just swollen. It does hurt when I have sex (I always use a condom, btw). I had a pap smear and physical last month, and everything was normal. I'm not sure if I should wait a few days for any swelling to go down, or if I should call my doctor immediately. Link to comment

dragon lady Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 It sounds like it could be a bartholin's cyst. This is caused by the blockage of the bartholin's gland duct. It creates a lump anywhere from the size of a pea to the size of an orange. Sometimes they go away on their own. Other times they need to be surgically drained. Take a look at this and see whether you think this might be it: link removed Link to comment

jul-els Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sounds like something you should see if you can get in to have checked today. Otherwise it might go away and the doc won't be able to see what it is. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment

Stella Sleepwalks Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Could you have scratched it? I would get it seen to as you may need antibiotics. Just go to your GP to be on the safe side. Link to comment

I'm guessing I probably have a cyst that isn't infected.. so I should get this checked out? Link to comment

RipTideRush Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 You should go to the doctor as soon as you can. Best to get advice from a professional than a bunch of people on the internet. Link to comment

You can always get it checked out for peace of mind. It's certainly possible that it's not one of these and it could be something else. If it is a bartholin's cyst, then it's usually not necessary to do anything unless it's painful or doesn't go away after a while. They recommend having sitz baths 3 times a day to help it rupture. If it comes back after that, then you might need to have the marsupialization surgery. Personally, I would only have that done at last resort. Link to comment

Haven Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ok, went to the gyn. today, and everything is apparently normal, just still recovering from the yeast infection. What I felt was normal tissue that was somewhat inflamed. Link to comment
