hi, in response to this survey, mine is pasted below. i am so sad this has to happen to me and i am extremely happy to find a forum such as this who shares my disapointments that it has to happen to me.i have been prolonging my agony.since the first time i had my marsupialization done in 96, i havent gone see a gyne for the very reason that i feel that it is very embarrassing. i am catering more to the shame that i would be feeling having a gyne check on my abscess than the pain i will be feeling if and when infection occurs. the culprit for my abscess was staphylococcus.
