Thank God for this forum and honesty!!! I had my first Bartholin's cyst at 27--terrified that I had some sort of cancer, I saw my ob/gyn right away. My(male, of course) doc was very nonchalant about it, said it was only a cyst, would probably go away on it's own, but if I'd like, he could just drain it right there--but it would hurt. Those were my only options from the head of the ob/gyn department in a prestigious hospital! So, I felt like a fool and went home. Fortunately, it did go away w/o getting bigger/infected, but for the last 2 years it has come back(20 years later!) with a vengence. I've been sitz-bathing, massaging, waiting for the dam thing to drain over and over, blah, blah, blah. I've been fortunate to have had a great relationship with my vagina for these 47 years and it has served me well---BUT REALLY!!! Enough is enough! I don't want to spend any more time thinking about it, soaking, massaging, worying about the damned thing suddenly bursting/oozing at work, you know? I miss the good old days of hopping into bed with my husband w/o trying to plan sex around this THING!!! So, I think I'm resigned to finally go to a NEW doc and keep trying until I find someone who's going to take this damn thing seriously .....so here's the ??, ladies..... Once I find a decent doc, and they start what seems from all reports, the struggle to get rid of this damned thing---with all of the poking, draining, stitching, etc.....What are the chances that they are going to fk up some nerve or something that will screw up my enjoyment of sex? Seriously. Does anyone have input?
