Hi,
I’m having trouble finding information and just wondered if anyone else had experienced a very deep (I’d say ‘internal’) Bartholin’s cyst abcess?
I started to feel unwell on Christmas Day and after a few days of feeling increasingly poorly (nausea, cramps, downwards pressure) and then finding a large painful lump I ended up at out of hours yesterday. The doc said she thought it was a Bartholin’s abcess as it’s around the right location, however it’s very deep. I was prescribed two different anti-bs and she said to give it 48 hours & go back to doc if worse.
Only thing is I’ve woken up today with it bigger and more painful than ever with nausea even worse (assuming from anti-bs).
Has anyone had one of these ‘deep’ abcesses before? Was it definitely a Bartholin’s or a different one? Did it go away with just anti-bs or am I likely to need it to be drained? I’m supposed to be driving on hol with the kids on Tuesday but the docs won’t be open on Monday and I’m trying to work out whether to cancel holiday or not. The way I’m feeling now I can’t even get off the sofa. So worried it might burst too with it being internal :( Can’t remember ever feeling this poorly & miserable!
Any insight would be gratefully received!
