Q: Bartholin's Cyst? Please Help!

Am new here, so hello everyone!!!

For about 2 years i've noticed a lump on one side of the interior lip of my vagina.
When I squat I can feel it fully but when i'm standing I can't. It doesn't hurt. It feels maybe full of fluid. A year ago my pap was normal, blood work normal. I am not available for insurance from work for another 2 months. I was reading online about bartholin's gland cyst.. It described exactly what I felt.. A lump on the inner lip on one side. I am just worried about cancer of course.
I will obviously get it checked, but in the mean time... Any suggestions? Any experience? Anything???????????????? The bump is about the size of a strawberry. No pain, no tenderness. Would just like to know if I am crazy lol or anything!!!

Bartholins Cyst
Has anyone had their gland removed????
I have been having this problem for 7 years now. I am now 30 and have had ENOUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I currently live in the UK and have seen so many doctors look at my V that, that in itself has become depressing as it is so invasive [especially since none of them made a difference] BECAUSE IT KEEPS COMING BACK.

My Gland swoll at the beginning of this month but became an absess 3 days ago> I am in excruciating pain right now. I have grown so tired of going to the hosptal and having it drained, that I am trying to bear the pain until it bursts on its own.

I have noticed that the cysts appears either when i am on my period or just after my period. has anyone had theirs removed???? I am trying to find out the side effects of this as I wish to do it.

Bartholins Cyst
I have had the gland removed, only on the right side. I have not had any problems since. I'm starting to think my weight gain started after the removal of the gland. Has anyone else had that same problem?

Bartholin gland removal
Can someone please tell me how I can find an experienced gyno to remove my annoying gland? I've been dealing with this for two years now and my gyno doesnt seem to be helping, she is very dismissive towards my concerns. Does anyone know a good Dr. in Arizona, phx, scottsdale, anywhere in az that is expereienced with these cysts? I am desperate to get this taken care of once and for all, and if it means excision I want the best possible. Please any help will be greatly appreciated! I cant stand the pain any longer.

I have had numerous cysts incidents!
I am going through the same problem right now! About 3 weeks ago, I noticed I had a cyst on my right side of my vag, and after soaking in many warm baths, it drained on it's own. And now.. 3 weeks later, I noticed I have ANOTHER one on the left side of my vag! This is really beginning to worry me! What should I do? Does it *have* to be removed? I am very concerned also that these *cysts* may be some form of cancer! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
