Hello, i have found a hard lump inside my vagina and I was wondering if it sounded like a Bartholos cyst. I have no symptoms with it at all. It is quite a hard lump, not squishy at all. I had it looked at by the nurse during my smear test. She told me that it needs to be looked at by my g.p. I have an appointment on Friday but I can't stop thinking about it. I am so scared that it is something much more sinister. Could anyone tell me how the g.p would diagnose exactly what it may be. Will I be referred to hospital for tests ? Thank you for reading, Susan x
i can only say when i get them, they hurt bad. It makes it hard to walk sit all activity.
I just had both mine removed. They can be painful or not at all. At the time I had mine removed they were enlarged & had been since June but I had no pain. It could just be very infected
Usually if they are not abscesses they are painless. But a Bartholin gland cyst would not be inside the vagina...close but not inside. They are on the inside of the labia towards the back.
On right. Thank you for your reply. Doesn't sound like that then.
Just had the lump confirmed as a bartholins cyst.Susan.
What did they suggest you do?
As I am not having symptoms at the moment she said to do nothing, but if it becomes infected then I have to go back. Fingers crossed ,it wont.
Fingers crossed for you Susan!
Good luck to you. I don't wish it on anyone.
Thank you both x
