I think I a bartholin cyst. IT'S MASSIVE and covers my vagina hole. I'm scared to tell mum?

I was 16 when this happened to me and what worked for me was probably not the best solution but it worked. The pain was terrible and I tried everything; advil, Ibuprofen, and other medications to reduce swelling. But it only got worse. So I went to rite aid and bought oragel. I immediately placed it on the swollen area and inside my vagina and the pain ceased instantly. It was amazing! Then the next morning I woke up and it was barely there and was completely gone in a few hours after only one dosage of oragel. I believe what happened what since I couldn't feel it, I did things I normally did and I think I sat on it and it popped. I was on my period at the time so it would've been a mixture unable to tell the difference. But extra blood came out onto the pad. So oragel worked for me, I hope anyone who reads this considers this option and I hope you find a cheap way to fix it (: cysts hurt

Do not be embarassed. That are is just one part of your body and it has issues too just like the rest of your body can. I a mother, my youngest is a daughter in college now, I always want to know what is going on with her. That is my job, to take care of my kids. Who cares if you dad has to take you or if you siblings know. Its just a medical condition that happens to be in that area. Your pop would know anyway because husbands and wives tell each other most everything especially about the health of the children they love. Just go up to your mom and tell her you need to go to the doctor because you have an issue down there. That is it. Dont worry about it so, much. Just do it and you will feel better. It is what it is and you have to deal with it and the sooner the better for your health and your nerves.

interesting. I'd never heard of such a thing.

I google'd it though, and the internet knows about it. so does wikipedia.

sitz baths (warm salty water, or jacuzzi baths can help to ease discomfort and may help to clear the blockage.

And, if you want to go to the doc, there is no reason for your siblings to even know that you went.

Hunny.. That could burst and you would need immediate surgery. Those can be cancerous. You need to tell. I'd rather you live.
