Pregnant... and just felt a lump down there?
I am 26 weeks pregnant and had notice a bump when I've showered about the size of a marble surrounded by my vaginal area. I thought probably it was average swelling, until I started to feel it while walking today. I grab a flashlight and mirror today and sure enough... nearby's a round swollen gland-like lump in in attendance. Any one experienced this?
Answers:
From the way you are describing this, it may be a Bartholin's cyst. If it is, the treatment would depend on the size, how throbbing and whether or not it is infected. Your best course of action would be to see your gynecologist or obstetrician. He/she will be capable of determine the best treatment. Being honest, the sooner you seek treatment, the better for you!
It drastically well might drain on its own...especially if you soak frequently in a tub of heat up water. However, it might become itchy enough that you will a short time ago want it taken care of and not to dally for the warm soaking to work. Also, if infected, you would require antibiotics. Since you are pregnant, I would not keep on for it to drain on its own...I would see the gynecologist or your obstetrician asap.
