Anyone ever had a Bartholins Gland Cyst?

[nametaken]

I've had them before and I think I'm getting another one.

I never go to the doctors about it though, I just wait for them to burst. The relief is immense when it does, but the smell is vile.

Why do I keep getting them, I need to see the GP don't I?

Isn't one cause an ingrowing hair?

Oh, i guess it could be - but how can you prevent ingrowing hairs anyway?

and some.

if i were you as soon as you feel a twinge of it pea sized as it were, get in bath and press down v firmly on it. you should find (if you've caught it early enough) that the fluid (non smelly) comes out.

being lubricated enough during sex so to speak helps enormously in avoiding them and doing the above after having sex should keep infection at bay.

i had 8 drained under GA before i read about doing the above on the internet. have not had a prob since.

I've had one.

The gp gave me some anti-biotics and it cleared up very quickly.

Perhaps yours has a bit of lingering infection which never really goes away even when it bursts.

Anti-biotics should do the trick. My gp didn't even look at mine. He knew what it was just by my description.

Well my way of avoiding i not to shave

Just googled.
Oh my giddy aunt

Don't look.

mine were never THAT BAD and i was rushed to hosp with a couple as apparently is risk of septicemia if they burst.

Moondog you goon! If you post links and say dont look.................

I will not look.
I will not look.
I will not look.
I will not look............

i looked.
AAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sorry.
My idea of a leetle joke.
Don't get me started on haemorrhoids.
I've just frightened myself half to death.
Being alone late at night with a finger on a mouse and easy access to Google Images is not necessarily a Good Thing.

twice!

and then i had loads more.

and now i realise that all the ops were totally unnecessary if i'd just nipped them in the bud so to speak early on. after sex (they are the glands that secrete the lubricant when we get turned on) have bath, press down, no more cysts.

Glad to hear it Lockets or you would have had to attach a sturdy carrier bag to yuor thigh to accommodate said cyst when out and about.

moondog you are officially gross.

Oh dear, I looked too. Poor woman

I am going to have a salt bath now.

MY question is- how did that poor woman manage to remain fuzz-free for the photo? Even I can't do a job as good as that without a huge barnacle hanging of my lady lips.
