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

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???

Bit early in the morning for that photo!

Think I'd be camping outside the doctors.

BelleateSebastian · 16/04/2014 08:11

I think that will spontaneously burst by lunchtime ... hold tight sister! could you bear to get in to a hot bath to help with the pain?

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 08:11

You didn't have to look! I need my hand holding!!

Good luck today that looks so painful. Mucho sympathy. Hot tea tree baths good x

BelleateSebastian · 16/04/2014 08:12

maybe just present at A&E, if the pain is unbearable?

doradoo · 16/04/2014 08:12

ooh a head - be careful if you cross your legs (if you can) it'll go with a torrent.......

Hope you're prepared for the fall out so to speak.

In all seriousness though fingers crossed it's sorted today it looks so sore.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 16/04/2014 08:13

Good grief! How you managed to get any sleep with Gyn at that size is beyond me.

Hope today gets him sorted once and for all.

BoiledPiss · 16/04/2014 08:14

Hot bath i agree. On another note it seems to have actually transformed itself into an actual bollock! Shock

Looks bloody agony Kato :(

BelleateSebastian · 16/04/2014 08:15

It is exactly how mine looked before it literally went 'bang' I'm getting disproportionately excited on your behalf!! the pain will be gone one way or the other later, look at is a good preparation for childbirth!

FuckyNell · 16/04/2014 08:15

Oh Lordy that is baaaaaaaad though.

It looks like you've sucked a zit in one of those ahem "extenders" Grin

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 08:16

Yes he's lost his gravitational pull and is now more hangy...

What if it bursts in the bath? Still go to the hospital?

Oh Kato just go straight to A&E now. No one there will think you are wasting their time, I promise.

noddyholder · 16/04/2014 08:18

No matter what as you may need antibiotics afterwards as it will be open to further infection. Plus you don't know what it actually is and need a definitive diagnosis not just a guess.

SweetSilverSongOfALark · 16/04/2014 08:19

I would because it will need cleaning up properly.

TheGinSoakedBoy · 16/04/2014 08:20

I'm de-lurking here. Frigging hell it looks agony. Lots of handholding from me. Get yourself to a&e.
Hope it's sorted soon.

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 08:21

Ten mins til the gp opens. Gp was expecting me to phone in the afternoon but there's no way

OP posts:
lazypepper · 16/04/2014 08:22

No. Don't wait until the afternoon.

Get on the phone as soon as they are open.

Even if it bursts - I think you should have it looked at.

Incapinka · 16/04/2014 08:22

I think I would go straight to A&E as it is going to blow soon. And would be good to have a good clean out to make sure they get it all so it doesn't come back. What time does the docs open?

Incapinka · 16/04/2014 08:23

Do not wait for the afternoon!!!!

BelleateSebastian · 16/04/2014 08:24

I would just go to your gp if it bursts in the bath, the ab's should cover you from infection, your days as a porn star will probably be over though, like I said up thread I have a 'flap' hole now!! I should put an earing in and pretend ints a fashion statement, in fact I could start a new craze...... wonder if dragons den would be interested!?

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 08:24

Don't worry I'm not! If I get any shite of the go receptionists I promise I'm a and e bound!

Hope you get your referral ASAP op!

candycoatedwaterdrops · 16/04/2014 08:29

If your GP doesn't refer you ASAP, please go straight to A&E. You poor thing. I don't even know you but I want to hug you! You are so freaking brave. Flowers

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 16/04/2014 08:30

Oh you poor, poor thing. You look like you've been kicked in the nuts.
Well done you on taking it in good humour. And also well done on the photos. Will come in handy for placing at the front of the church for Gym's funeral.
Good luck today.

crispyporkbelly · 16/04/2014 08:33

Ooooh look at that head! have a hot bath and get yourself to the hospt!
