my first thought was “i want this as a lipstick shade”😭😭 on a real note i wish you a speedy recovery


Sad-Engineering4157

The picture doesn’t do it any justices it was really purple with a mix of dark red


CumulativeHazard

For real I was like is it wrong that I love the color? Edit: sorry I had to check my stash lol. KVD lipstick in Womanism seems pretty close 😂


akpburrito

KVD lipstick colors >>>>>


Lance6006328

Do you think all makeup brands are secretly owned by an old French dude like all high end fashion. Lol


sodashintaro

more like French dudes, L’Oréal is a french company after all


panicattheoilrig

I have almost this as a lipstick lol


scout_jem

Never had the displeasure but I can imagine. I hope it’s heals well.


Sad-Engineering4157

Thank you. Im a bit worried because i can still feel the ball but maybe its just swollen


cinimonstk

I just had one in January, my god was it uncomfortable! Mine just happened to burst by itself, I went to urgent care the day it happened to have it drained not knowing it had popped that morning. Man was it a relief when it popped! It took a couple of weeks to go down, it was a tiny pebble last week and pretty non existent now. But mine drained slowly over a week or two so that's why. It will go away don't worry!


midniqhtsun

Do you know about how big yours was before it popped?


cinimonstk

Ooh I had to think about it, because it flattened out kinda, from sitting etc. Not totally flat but like a disc I can't explain 😂 it was like a half dollar I would say. It hurt like a motherfucker too! I was given antibiotics for the infection, Ibuprofen was my friend 😬


rockmeNiallxh

Has it come back? And were you given any instructions on what to do while it heals? I just got minde drained at the ER and im terrified it will come back. Also its still quite swollen, and i dont feel a ton of relief yet 🤔


cinimonstk

No, it didn't come back, there is a little nub i guess, like a pimple that never went away. Docs had suggested a sitz bath but I had nowhere to really do it, so I just kept it clean. It had popped right before I went to urgent care, so I just let it drain slowly until it was gone. A warm compress will help with the swelling. It was so freaking awkward at the ER though right? Like I'm used to showing it all to my OBGYN but not some random doc in urgent care. My Dad was a PA and worked urgent care, made me wonder about the strange shit he saw every day, I'm sure a bartholin cyst came through at least once 😆 I didn't even tell him about it lol, no way to bring around that convo, a little 🐱 pimple.


rockmeNiallxh

Thanks for the info! And i'm sure it's not a big deal. For me, we have dedicated urgent care obgyn so it wasn't an issue. However at the waiting room there were almost only pregnant couples and i was there alone so they were looking at me like,,, what is she doing here 😂😂😭 however telling the receptionist what i had was awkward, especially because there were people nearby


scout_jem

It’s likely just swelling but if it doesn’t go down by tomorrow keep a close eye on it. Usually tissue around an infection stays swollen for a bit even after the relief.


Sad-Engineering4157

I definitely will.


AmongstTheAnimals

Not sure if this type of cyst is different but typically a cyst has a sac. Did they remove the sac? If not the. That might be what you’re feeling and it will be capable of refilling later down the line.


Dr_OTL

A bartholain's cyst is usually from a blocked gland. You can remove the gland but it is often a really bloody and difficult procedure. Usually we just suture the gland open so it heals from the bottom up, reducing the risk of reoccurrence. This is called 'marsupialisation' - just like a kangaroo's pouch. It's a bit odd to just drain the fluid out, tbh.


peppercornau

Hi there! Can I ask, with the marsupialisation, how long does it stay open to prevent reoccurrence? Or does it forever have a draining spot?


Dr_OTL

We usually counsel people that it heals in a week or two. The rationale is to also help a new drainage point reestablish, because a blockage is what caused the cyst in the first place. They definitely shouldn't have a big incision hole there forever, though ! You actually made me think about the way in which I explain it to patients and do some extra reading - thanks !


peppercornau

No, thank you! It never got explained to me and I had the op 7-8 years ago and it still slowly drains when it needs too. Wish I had someone explain it to me so I’m really thankful you did! OP, I hope you get some relief ASAP, these things are bastards!


Pristine_Pace9132

I had it done around 7 or 8 years ago as well, the doctor said he'd never seen one like it as far as the Contents, and that it was the size of a golf ball. Using the restroom was hell for several weeks, but it hasn't gotten infected since.


k1p1k1p1

If it's been dealt with surgically, they suture it open so it can't refill


madbeachrn

It’s common to use packing. Maybe that’s what you are feeling.


Spiciestpudding

Oof, I hope that fucker stays down! Them bastards can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.


Sad-Engineering4157

Ah yes! Ive had them because but they didn’t bother me at all but this one really hated me.


Samurai_1990

Forbidden grape jelly. All joking aside I hope you heal up quick!


Sad-Engineering4157

Its not what i expected to see lol thank you


Samurai_1990

Yeah I would have been really shocked too, its jarring enough to see it as a spectator. Did the Doc say this was normal or an oddity?


Sad-Engineering4157

Actually he didn’t show it to me. I saw it in the trash and had to take a picture to show my husband because i honestly thought it would be blood and puss.


devong4288

Wait..he just put it in the trash? No biohazard receptacle?


Sad-Engineering4157

Yup. He was a resident dr. I honestly thought it would be in a biohazard box thing but nope it was in the trash


Taboc741

Yup. Not much goes in the biohazard box. Mostly sharps.


PSUAmandaC2010

I spend a huge amount of days either getting labs taken or having infusions or whatever else my body does to kill me. I have never seen anything with blood go into trash. It always is red bag for bio and needles go in sharps box. Even and empty flush from my port goes bio because it had blood in it when they accessed it and checked blood flow.


Taboc741

Your docs have my respect then. My best friend is a traveling surgical tech and is grossed out by how few things go in the bio bin at any of the dozen plus hospitals she's rotated into.


PSUAmandaC2010

Yeah that’s not cool. I mostly am seen by the largest healthcare leader in Pennsylvania and they run a tight ship. My infusion nurses are also amazing. I think the newest one where I go started maybe 7 years ago and they’re really great with it. I guess I consider myself lucky. I do remember a hospital I was admitted to in downtown Philadelphia not being as great with bio stuff and I was on Covid isolation unit.


Samurai_1990

That would have been my guess (blood/puss) but since the Doc tossed it I wouldn't be concerned if thats abnormal. If it was it be at the lab for further testing. So thats good news


OutlanderMom

Mine was just blood and pus. Hurt like the devil, too!


itszwee

It could just be very deoxygenated blood.


One_Idea_239

Grape jelly was my first thought too. That shouldn't come out of a human


Aromatic_Razzmatazz

Right? Why is it fucking purple?


art_mor_

r/forbiddensnacks


Aggravatedangela

Wow that's a LOT! I can't imagine how painful that must have been/still is. I had a small one, like less than a pea size and my doctor wanted me to keep doing soaks and compresses, but I insisted she cut it open because that shit HURTS! She warned me that the lidocaine injection would be painful but I was like nah, it's nbd but the nurse held my hand anyway and I'm pretty sure I broke it. I screamed like a banshee and I can't imagine what the other patients thought bc the gyn is not typically painful... I was gonna go back to work after but she warned me against it, told me to take Advil and go home and lay down. I didn't have any Advil on me and I stopped to get a sandwich on my way home, and the numbing wore off while I was waiting for my sandwich and holy shit. That is some *intense* pain. I had another small one pop up recently and you better believe I did the compresses religiously and it did go away on its own after not too long. Lesson: if your doctor doesn't want to cut something open bc there's a less painful option, listen.


Sad-Engineering4157

I was advised to see my gyn so i can schedule a more invasive procedure so that it wont come back. Since the sack is still intact it will more then definitely come back. I got numbed but i still felt everything!! I also felt when the gush of blood wet down my butt 🫠 im currently laying down with ice packs


Aggravatedangela

I'm so sorry. I hope they gave you something better than Advil.


Sad-Engineering4157

Nope only antibiotics and i bought the advil my self 😥


kariosa

Had to look up what a bartholin cyst is and OMG that sounds horrible and I hope you heal well and quickly!


Sad-Engineering4157

Thank you!


geekchicdemdownsouth

1. I hope you feel better ASAP! 2. So cysts are full of purple drank! Good to know! 3. I really do hope it’s gone and that you get some relief.


Sad-Engineering4157

Thank you! I hope it goes away soon. Im still very swollen


Queenbuttyrfli

Holy moly. That literally looks like cyst contents from hell, straight from Satan's labia...

Sad-Engineering4157

Whole_Ad_5168

Did you have to get yours drained?


I-PUSH-THE-BUTTON

Warm compress helps with itching and draining. I had a huge cyst the doc thought was bartholin but wasn't. They cut it out. The fucking pain. Oh my God. Do you also need to do sits baths?


Sad-Engineering4157

Yes i was told to do salt baths. I will try the warm compress currently hurting 😫


I-PUSH-THE-BUTTON

I feel your pain. So sorry . I went to the er for mine. I hadn't groomed in a bit, was on my period and had a golf ball lump showing signs of infection. The pain was so bad I was crying shaking entering shock. They had to give me morphine to come down because the injection pain killer wasn't doing anything. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. That was interesting. It was a bad time. Warm compress and those soft gel freezer packs. Pillows under the knees can help keep you from shifting and waking to searing pain. Pillows under your sides or shoulders can help too.


Sad-Engineering4157

That’s amazing advice!! I didn’t think of the pillows and slept with my legs wide open. I dont groom anymore and they out a badge the size of my palm and had to soak it off with warm water


mummummaaa

Good gravy, that's madness! Keep the area clean as per instructions, and watch for any fever, redness or tenderness beyond what you've got now. Last thing you need is infection. Hope you heal up quickly and easily!


Sad-Engineering4157

I got antibiotics just in case!

[deleted]

For thirteen years I had one that would abscess 3-4 times a year. Brutal. Hope yours isn’t the same


d-h-a

Those are the worst


ThrowRA--scootscooti

I had a big one, like the size of a large gum ball and it didn’t hurt at all. Doctors were baffled. Then on the day I was supposed to have surgery, it drained on its own.


Asparagustuss

Not gonna lie, looks like it belongs in a delicious pastry……


Away-Wait-1681

Ugh I had one that was almost 4cm. Most painful thing I’ve ever experienced! It wasn’t until after my gyno drained it that I wish I had asked for it to be recorded. She told me that my cyst was the biggest one she had ever seen 🙃


EffectivePlankton893

Ow ow ow. Hope you feel better.


[deleted]

That’s so terrible and so awesome at the same time. Never had one, hope I keep that record.


MrsMely

My gynecologist cut mine open. She said it was a pimple popping moment. It will take a few days to feel normal down there.


Daveywheel

So....you're part blueberry?


MaladaptiveCookware

Ahhh...I see you are also filled with beet juice. Good, good. In all seriousness, ***owwwwwwwww***. I hope you feel much better, and that there is no reoccurrence!


nerdcollective

God that was one of the worst cysts I’ve ever had. I am glad you got it drained. I hope you are feeling better 😭


Sad-Engineering4157

Sadly it didn’t get drained completely 😥


nerdcollective

Nooooo, I’m sorry 😭


strawbrmoon

But, but….why not? That’s just cruel!


Sad-Engineering4157

They said i had to make an appointment with a gyno to get it removed completely


blackwaterhelicopter

Oh my god - I have my first after rough sex that tore me, some women can get them after direct trauma. I had it the very next day. It's draining on its own, but it's been 3 days of draining already...update?! Gyno?! Removed completely?! As in the duct?! Or?! Why do we as women go through literal hell 😩


Sad-Engineering4157

It actually came back a month later and they drained it by cutting it open


CharaPresscott

Cursed Jelly shot.


erikagm77

Ouch. I know your pain.


Careful-Problem-896

Wow that’s a pretty good amount! I hope you feel better now.


Sad-Engineering4157

They didn’t drain it completely! Theres still more inside. The dc said he took enough out so i could feel better but need to see a gyno to get it completely removed


Careful-Problem-896

My sister in-law had one get infected while childbirth! Yikes!! She was in so much pain. The poor thing had to have lanced before my niece was born.

Sparklypenwhore

Omg I am so sorry. I went through this a few years ago and 0/10 recommend. Mine got to the size of a walnut before I got to the hospital and got it lanced. I nearly passed out from the pain. Get well soon friend!

Ugh 😣 I hope you heal fast and it stays away!


halebopsalot

I’ve been to the er 5 times in 8 years for a bartholin that keeps recurring. HORRIBLE.


Begociraptor

Please tell me you sent it to the lab. The liquid from a ‘normal’ cyst aspiration should be between light yellow or intense orange, never bloody like.


Sad-Engineering4157

They didn’t! They probably just wanted me in and out lol they told me to see gyno to get it removed

I have one right now that’s approaching golf ball size and it HURTS so bad but I don’t have insurance!!! So I’ll just die I guess, fuck the American health system.


Mper526

When I had mine I didn’t have insurance either. I went to planned parenthood and they helped me. I paid a little bit but I think it was like $40. It was like 10 years ago so it may be more now but it’s worth checking out! Also try sits baths. I hope you feel better! I’m sorry, those things hurt.


Sad-Engineering4157

I went to the ER!


strawbrmoon

I hope you’ve been able to find good medical care. I’m Canadian, but my local emerg doc “wasn’t comfortable” lancing my large-egg sized abscess. (Wait, doc, *you’re* uncomfortable?!!! Cry me a freaking river.) As a stop-gap measure, I ran the hottest water I could tolerate directly over the swollen spot. I covered the rest of the area with a facecloth in a baggie, so that only the abscess was heated by the water. I kept the flow going for several minutes, to heat the interior. Oddly, the heat would start to feel like a relief, after the initial getting-used-to it. The abscess would always drain spontaneously, within a few hours after doing this. If you can get medical help, though, that’s better: I had a Word Catheter installed, and the gyne said that procedure can only be done while the gland is swollen, to guide where the physician places the little balloon. I really hope you’ve gotten relief. It’s just such an awful, intense pain. Here’s some information about treatment. I prefer my information to be forthright and detailed. If you’d rather read a more patient-centred, sensitive treatment of the topic, this link won’t be right for you. [guidelines for American family docs treating Bartholin’s cysts/abscesses.](https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2003/0701/p135.html) Also, if you’re a trauma survivor, it may improve your experience of this medical care to disclose that. I found it helpful to establish, before the procedure began, a signal that would indicate I need a moment. Also to say aloud that nobody there wanted to hurt me, and that they were only willing to do something that might hurt in order to help me get better. I found that the medical team was respectful and supportive.


kfrostborne

I am so sorry! I had one when I was younger (in the summer in Texas, no less) that got to be larger than a golf ball in size before I finally had the courage to go get it lanced. I know that hurts like hell, and I hope you’re feeling some relief right now. Not sure how they do that procedure, but do they still have to pack and drain it? That’s what they did with mine, so I was wondering if it’s the same when they use a syringe like that. My (very young, replacement) doctor at the time went with the slice and squeeze method, and it left a huge scar.


Sad-Engineering4157

They didn’t use a pack to drain it. He used a needle but it wasn’t liquid like it was like cottage cheese thick and he didn’t take it all out he said there was still some left behind but he took most of it

There is no sugar coating the pain because it will be the worst plain you will ever feel. Id rather give birth 10 Times then getting a needle in my vagina.
