i have no way of diagnosing (or treating) you blindly over the internet but a bartholin cyst is most likely what you have. since this cyst is painful (and engorged) it would be wise to see a gynecologist right away so it can be properly drained. if this cyst is recurrent you may need a marsupilization procedure where the entire cyst sac is removed to keep it from coming back.
is what i have a bartholin's cyst? . i've had cysts before and this one is much different. it is on the one side of my vagina opening (which is typical) but it remains very hard even though i've taken warm baths it does not drain it out it is extremely hard and purple. is it normal that it's purple in color? it is the most painful cyst i've ever had and i've never had any issues in draining it before. not sure what to do. is this a normal cyst?
