Hi all. My cyst is back, big as a cherry but painless, wanting to pop up on the skin ever so slightly but mostly just sitting below the surface. I haven't been keeping up on my baths and had sex the other day so it makes sense why it flared up.
I've been using a portable sitz bath since the issue first started in June. I clean the basin as much as I can but it's kind of hard to clean the bag/tube. Also, sorry for TMI, but sometimes when I get up from my bath I notice tiny little...poop particles...floating in the water. I do my baths after I've showered but I guess the warm water really cleans the entire area..butthole included. I always get grossed out and hop back in the shower and wash my bits again.
The past few days I've had kind of a stingy sensation in my vaginal area/vulva. Not the area where the cyst is. More so the actual vaginal opening. I've also had a bit of white, tacky discharge but it could be cervical mucus. I also have no itching that usually comes with a yeast infection.
Come to think of it I used some witch hazel topically on the area for the hell of it, just in the area where the gland opening would be, but using that on its own kinda irritated/dried me out. Could my sitz bath be giving me a yeast infection? Or could it just be due to ovulation/irritation from overwashing the area and using witch hazel?
