for women

I have been having a problem for about6 months maybe longer. Have been feeling a raw feeling on left side of vagina, Seen family dr. and 2 other ones and 2 said yeast infection and1 said maybe inflammation coming from bum area becasue was also having burning bum on and off. Now this was was before my fissure which i've had 8 weeks. Seen the dr.s for this about 5 months ago because when i the vagina opening on the left side looked slightly redder and swollen. They all seen it. One dr. did a internal exam and felt nothing. but also on that side onthe outer lips feel not a lump but some sort of feeling and the other side is soft. Yesterday it was feelinga bit more burning so put canastanon it and i think it burned more. The question is from the sitz baths i'm doing can i make this problem worse and should i put some sort of cream for dryness.

It's possible that it might be a Bartholin's Cyst, Matty. Have you been to the doctor's again since the visit 5 months ago?

Grumble is right possibly. An itchy feeling and a softening. Followed by a lump and pain can be a cyst. And the the baths should help that actually.

I thought mine was yeast. When I had several ct scans due to other problems it was a cyst. What you are doing with the warm baths is a help, if that is what it is. You need to get it to head and burst. Sorry it's gross, but....

I will say this, if you are shaving or waxing, this can cause this issue.

thanks for replies. I am going back to my family dr. to check and when they checked it 5 months ago they said its not a bart cyst. But maybe they made a mistake. I have an appt next week.

I had a similar problem 4 yrs. ago. My gyn thought it was a Bartholin's Cyst so he removed it. He was wrong and I now have a fistula that won't close. I have been hospitalized twice in the past year for the same swelling. Weeks of iv antibiotics is what finally got rid of it (at least for now).
