<klaxon> grape sized lump... hurts to sit down...

[KatoPotato]

Wahhhh...

I've had this lump on my labia for many years now, hard but painless.

Since a few days ago - I blame spin class - it's got really big, red and painful. It's the size of a large grape and is mostly hard. I've had mag sulph paste on it, germolene, hot baths, tentative squeezes... nothing - It's hard to dress too, thanks to the location.

I've had similar before, hence my mag sulph knowledge, but this just doesnt seem to be coming to a head, paracetamol and ibuprofen are not touching the pain.

Any ideas???

Goodness, Kato, that looks painful even from here. I hope you get some sleep, and I hope it goes well tomorrow and you get some relief. (Push for the morphine, as long as you're not the sort of person who gets sick on it.)

Jake you click on OP's name above any of her posts. Her profile will come up, then you select 'see KatoPotatos photos. Make sure you are sitting down

Jake. Make sure you are logged in. Click on kato's name should take you to her profile then click on photos.

Bloody hell, think you'll be having an episiotomy tomorrow!

Oh my god. You poor poor thing. That looks horrific. Wishing you some sleep tonight.

My other worry is I'm actually on my 2ww... 1st cycle ttc number 2... I can't have a ga can I? And they won't be able to do a pg test either yet?

I think you would be able to have a GA, lots have them during pregnancy for various reasons, don't they?

Anyway, DP has hydrodenitis superativa and recently had abcesses (and I think sweat gland or whatever it was on) removed and it was done with a local.

They'll do it under local anaesthetic I'd say.

You don't want tc with that there, it'd turn out like Alien!

But in any case - talk to them - ask them about pg test and GA and so on. (Take a sample bottle in with you...)

I'm only 5-6 Dpo and don't even know if we've been successful

Marking place.

I think if you were pregnant (and congrats if you are!) then at that point I don't think a GA would have much effect on it? I am sure they will be able to tell you tomorrow though. :)

Wow! Mega Bollicle. Poor you!

Snot and Want

Thank you.

Kato

Fuck me, don't touch it, from a Dr phobe like me. It looks soo painful. Legs open and ice packs all the way!

Good luck today.

Farewell Follicle Bollickle. It's been a blast!

Morning. Hope you are ok Kato, today's the day hopefully. Bollickle be gone!

Bolickus Burstus!

Morning Kato, FX for you today

Its just occured to me that there will be no lucious pus description here will there.

Its gonna be, "I lay on a bed, doctor sorted it but i heard a satisfying pop."

Kato, pleaseeee sit up and watch its birth! We need details.

Ouch. That's one mega sore bollicle!! I've had one similar before, the pain of it!! I I moved in the wrong way I would break out into a sweat, and the damn thing would throb! It ecenetually became too much for me and I took a sterilized needle to it, pinched had behind the lump and stabbed it-the amount of blood and puss tat came out was incredible, but the utter relief when it had emptied was blissful.... I wouldn't recommend that course of action for you as there's no visible head, or area of pressure to aim for.

Interestingly, you say you're TTC-elevated hormone levels make it more likely for these nasty little buggers to appear!!

I had similar when I was pregnant so they did it under local because of baby.

Sweet lord what a night. Woke at 4am in absolute agony.

Drs opens in an hour to get my referral but I took another photo this morning and we have a head... There's also a lot of bruising, go look!

I am delirious with the pain!

Oh no. that looks worse than yesterday.

so, you have to go to GP to get referral to hosp? I hope they can drug you up and get it sorted quick sticks.

I'm sure a head is good news, but bloody hell you poor thing! I hope it gets sorted today

My eyes!!!!!!!!!

Yes I tried nhs24 and they said they can't refer me!
