Lump In Groin Area Posted: 01-21-07 14:05pm


I am a 34 year old female, generally good health, other than smoking and migraines. I have recently found a small, hard, tender lump in the fold of my thigh and groin area. It cannot be seen on the skin or under the skin, it can only be felt. It doesnt hurt or bother, unless I press in that area to feel it, then it is tender. It is deep inside, you must press to feel it, and is about the size of an odd shaped nickel. I never noticed it before, only noticed by accident and that was about a week ago. There is no change in the week since I found it, no smaller or bigger. I am worried. When I look online all I find is either some type of lymphoma or sexually transmitted disease or a whole list of male issues. I have been with my husband for 9 years so the sexually transmitted disease is out (at least it better be!! Lol) I am panicking and thinking about making an appointment to get it checked out, just thought maybe someone had experienced something similar. Thanks!

Try reading up on a bartholin cyst. Very painful if it becomes infected.

Bartholin cyst introduction the bartholin's glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the ducts of these glands become obstructed causing fluid to back up into the gland, resulting in relatively painless swelling called a bartholin cyst. At times, this fluid may become infected, creating a small area of pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess). Signs and symptoms of such an infection may include redness, warmth, pain or tenderness near the vaginal opening. A bartholin cyst or abscess is uncommon. The condition occurs most frequently in women between 20 and 29 years of age. Treatment of bartholin cyst depends on the size of the cyst, how painful it is and whether it's infected. Sometimes, soaking in warm water (sitz bath) allows the cyst or abscess to rupture spontaneously. In other cases, surgical drainage of the bartholin cyst may be necessary. If an infection is present, your doctor may also recommend antibiotics to treat the bartholin cyst. Hi there, I personally dont have any experience of it. But thought this might help. Good luck with the dr appointment. Please keep us up dated.

Help! Posted: 04-27-07 15:13pm


I am experiencing the EXACT same symptoms, this is the only posting I have found that accurately describes what I have. Did you see a doctor? Can you advise me at all on what you have found, or if it went away? I am worried. Thank you so much.

Same Symptoms Posted: 08-04-07 17:29pm


I have the same pain but it is definitely not in the area described by the bartholin's cysts/glands. Mine is "in the pelvic" region, pretty much where the ovary would be. Any ideas on this one?
