I found a just-slightly-larger-than-a-pea sized lump not too far from the entrance of my vagina earlier today - it's not causing me any pain being there, but it is very tender to touch. At the risk of sounding daft, I can 'hold' it between my thumb and finger.
After doing some research online (I know, I know), it seems to fit the description of a Bartholin's Cyst, except for two things:
-The descriptions I've read seem to indicate there would be some vulval swelling/indication, and there is none; but then this could be because it's not very big at the moment?
-It feels further in than some of the symptom lists indicate, but I don't know whether that's just my perception?
I've read that a hot bath or hot compress can help, but I'm not really in any 'pain' with it, so not sure whether I need to do anything at the moment?
I know I should really see my GP, but obviously that's not possible tonight, and I was just looking for some information from others who have had similar.
Thanks in advance for any information/advice.
