Bartholin cyst

Anybody had one of these? Where do they usually appear? I have like a golf ball size on the inside of vaginal entrance but it’s not painful. Got awful stomach ache though with it but I’ve read mixed things that the cysts are on the inside, then they’re to the side under the lips. I’m just trying to rule out what it could be. I’m also 5 months post birth. I have phoned the doctors this morning just waiting for an appt!

I had a bartholin cyst when I was pregnant, it was more in the labia just under the vaginal opening. It didn’t hurt at first, but once it grew it was very painful and eventually burst with a lot of hot compresses to draw it out. At its largest it was around the size of golf ball.

Yes. They are very deep inside often - they are so painful. Try a warm bath with Epsom salts. I had to have mine lanced. I didn’t notice I had one till really late on. They can get really infected though. Please be careful x

Check yourself for a temp etc or if you’re feeling unwell.

I had one 4 months pp, worst pain of my life I was just crying. Couldn’t even walk hardly nevermind sit. It was on one side of the vaginal opening but was swollen to the point you could tell with just my pants on. I finally went to get checked and by time I got seen the puss had already come out (in the bath with warm compress I just kept putting weight on it. They say too once you’ve had one you’re prone again so I’m dreading it 😫😫

Thank you everybody’ see I’m not in pain with it at all. Makes me think I may have prolapsed 😩

Whatever it is, it shouldn’t be there so getting checked is obviously the best thing to do before anything gets even worse and you do get pain🤍
