Tad embarrassed by the lady bits..

[ladybirdlove91]

So im bit embarrassed and dunno wether i should go to the gu clinic or doctor pretty scared tbh.

anyhow ive noticed a hard spot with like a white head, looks like the top of those needles.that.have like a pearl on top.

doesnt hurt when i sit, wee or doing the deed, i just happened to feel it and it doesnt hurt when touched just feels hard. ive had the same partner last 7.

i cant even say how long its been there for either. hoping someones had the same thing

Possibly a Bartholin cyst? They are quite common and cause no harm. I have had one myself.

yeah those came up on my google search. ( i know i shouldnt do) never heard of them before. thank you for replying

No problem - it would still do no harm to get it checked if it doesn’t go away but it’s nothing the doc won’t havw seen before.

Could be just a straightforward zit.

Try not to worry too much.

MN seems a bit obsesses with Bartholins cysts. If you have one you'd know about it. They are sore, inflamed and need bursting by a dr or antibiotics.

It could be a spot, something called a Fordyce spot (bit like a wart but not a wart) or even an ingrowing hair depending where it is.

I've had a bartholin's cyst and it wasn't painful at all. I left it for years until it became a bit of a nuisance but definitely never sore. I went to the gp and was referred to have it removed. They did it under GA and it healed very quickly. It's been years and it hasn't returned. I think it's worth having it looked at if it doesn't go away. Definitely don't try squeezing/popping it yourself.

Fordyce spots

Q some women have them that are agony and have to rush to A&E- and they can grow to the size of a small egg if the gland is completely blocked.

yeah im due my period in the next week or so, im gonna see if it goes after. i normally get something 2 weeks before im due. if not ill go to the doctors and hopefully ask for a female dr

I know Polly. Sorry I didn't mean for my post to sound as if I was disagreeing with you! I just wanted to mention that they don't always hurt so not to rule it out completely. I was very lucky that mine was just a bit in the way with no other symptoms.

Mine was teeny tiny and disappeared without any treatment at all. Theres a huge variation in how bad they can be. I was obviously one of the lucky ones.

Could be a small cyst, they can go away on their own. If it hasn’t gone soon I would get it checked. My gp said they are very common.

Boiled water on a wsh cloth as cool s you can stand on it 3 times a day. Thats what i was advised and it works within a week.

thank you, i shall try that __

As hot as you can stand i mean sorry. The heat helps draw out whats inside. I was advised this by a nurse and other people and it works very well. It can be a cyst not necessarily the one mentioned. Very common there.

Just to mention, when I had mine he said he could drain it but with cysts the sack can refill over time and you have to drain it again. So he suggested removing the whole thing and it hasn't returned in 6 years.

Bartholins can get bigger than an egg.....

no its a little bit smaller then the top of this pin, not grew any bigger since ive noticed it. will defo try the warm flannel.suggestion.

what normally causes them? sorry for tmi but i was thinking maybe my. d.h's stubble.may have scratched me??

Hello! I had something very similar a couple of months ago, turned out to be a plain old sebaceous cyst but I was absolutely beside myself until I’d had it looked at! Where exactly is the spot, if you don’t mind me asking?

sorry about the bad diagram, i drew a dot where roughly it is. but inside more.

D.H looked again for.me, its the normal colour.as.all.of the area down there is, it had a white tinge before.
