 [ Symptoms ] my girlfriend has an egg shaped cyst or boil near her pelvic bone it is very hard and painful can it be a bartholin  we placed a small incision and got a little infection out but it is still very painful and almost the size of an egg it has a line going to the swollen area almost like it is a vein or artery feeding it [ Disease ] your girlfriend should see a health care professional about this it is not the kind of thing you should try lancing yourself as that can introduce infection into the wound and cause more problems your description of the lesion makes it difficult to tell if it is a bartholin gland cyst though it does not sound like it these types of cysts occur very close to the vaginal opening like i say your girlfriend needs to see a medical professional about this wishing you well
