Hi,
I've had a lumpy/itchy episiotomy scar for years (scar for 15 years, became more itchy after ds2 around 10 years ago). My Dr said fentons procedure pointless as would no doubt get more scaring and told me to use biooil. Years down the line now and the area (labia) grew an abscess which my dr thought was a bartholyns cyst & abscess. After 10/days on antibiotics I ended up at emergency gynae clinic. He changed the antibiotics and told me to come back 5 days later. During the follow up appointment he decided to open me up (despite the abscess slowly getting better/reducing) to help clear the remaining abscess. Whilst in there he removed a 'suspicous foreign body/lump'. He also said definately not a barthoyns cyst and that the suspicious lump was causing the abscess. The lump I've had for years (by/on episiotomy scar) and dr hasn't even looked at it and now I'm worried! Biopsy was a week ago & have heard nothing. Dr trying to chase results. I know vulvar cancer very very rare particularly in younger women (I'm 40) but I'd never even heard of it til now and feel a bit cross that my Dr didnt even look when I mentioned itching down there. Also found out now that one of the precursor conditions has symptoms like thrush and I have that ALOT! And no Dr has not done any lab tests to check it is thrush for 10 years +.
Anyone got experience of this?
