Hi just looking for some advice please,
I had an elective c section 12 days ago and developed a nasty uti infection from an in dwelling catheter. I have just finished the antibiotics today and noticed this morning that my vagina feels really sore and swollen as if I have given birth vaginally ? Which I didn't.

So my main concern is upon trying to ease the pain with compress I have found a large lump/ swelling ? It really painful and explains why I am so uncomfortable I just don't know what it is from ?

Hi better now thank goodness I had a cyst drained and was started on antibiotics for a week which are working and they are improving although very sore.

They think it's because I am run down after my c section as I had an horrendous UTI due to an indwelling catheter, which I actually ended up back in hospital with when I was 6 days post op.

I hope now things are on the mend and no more set backs. Smile
