Common Questions and Answers about Abscess vulva

abscess

Avatar f tn Maybe mention to your doctor about a Bartholin gland cyst or abscess. The Bartholin glands make a small amount of fluid that moistens the outer genital area, or vulva. If a Bartholin duct gets blocked, fluid builds up in the gland. The blocked gland is called a Bartholin gland cyst. If the Bartholin gland or duct gets infected, it is called a Bartholin gland abscess.
Avatar f tn Hello, You are correct because it can be a cyst or abscess in the perineal area. It does not look like Bartholin’s abscess. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form but they present on the vagina and not the groin. She needs incision and drainage and a course of oral antibiotics as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn i have a small bump on my vulva and it hurts a lot i cant walk very well its almost the the size of a quarter so its not that small and it hurts a whole lot im 14 so i am a virgin im scared to go to the doctor because a year ago i had a big bump about my butt and i couldn't sit properly or do anything and when i went to the doctor they cut it open and drained it but it was extremely painful so i was wondering if it was the same thing?
Avatar f tn A few months ago I noticed a lump under the skin on the right side of my vulva. It is not painful, not swollen or red and seems to be moveable under the skin. It is located right next to my clitoris and is an ovular shape about the size of an almond. You cannot see it but can feel it. I haven't found anything on the internet about this and I asked my doctor about it and she says it sounds like a cyst. However she did not look at it. If anybody has had this please let me know !
Avatar n tn s twice as big as it should be, no joke, and walking hurts because it is to large to be concealed undaer the vulva lips. it happens very rarely. i thought at firsthat the horseback riding and bouncing around in the saddle would irritate it, but not this much. There is next to impossible that i have an STD - the only guy i've had sex with was a virgin and we used a condom, so no STDs here, lol. so...has anyone had this before, even a minor case of it?
Avatar f tn Hello, From your symptoms, it looks like Bartholin's abscess or cyst. Other possibilities are sebaceous cyst (accumulations of secretions that can occur anywhere on the skin or mucosal surfaces), lipoma (fatty deposits) ,fibroma (fibrous tissue deposits) or viral wart(small raised pimples to a mass of large, cauliflower-like growths. The virus that causes them is passed on during sex).
Avatar n tn Hi, This may be a case of folliculitis or an infected gland. Where is this located? If it is located along the vaginal opening, this may be a bartholin gland cyst. "A Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your comment, I plucked up the courage to see a gp today who then sent me urgently to the ob/gyn with a letter to be seen today. Turns out it’s a vulva / labia majora abscess :( none of them could believe I’d coped with the pain and size of it for a week. It had to be incised today and drained. It’s left a 2.5 x 3 inch cavity and the surgeons could see it’s was tracking up my stomach and across to my hip. I’m so Stupid to have left it so long.
1353681 tn?1387083733 Hello, From your symptoms,it looks like a Bartholin's abscess or cyst. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form. This often causes blockage in the main duct from the gland, and a cyst develops. This is felt as a painless, hard swelling.In such cases, antibiotics may be helpful, or surgical treatment might be required.
Avatar f tn clitoris, labia, etc. The entrance to the vagina is visible and should be visible.
Avatar n tn at one moment i ejaculated, but i hold my penis with my hand to avoid the sperm touching her vulva. my worry is if some drops touched her vulva, could she get pregnant? i am worried, and her too. help pls!
Avatar n tn Although the antibiotics may kill the bacteria that is causing the abscess, if the core of the abscess does not come to the surface or is not removed by the doctor or the nurse, the abscess will continue to fester. Apply a hot compress to draw the abscess to the surface. If there is no broken skin on the abscess, you can purchase magnesium sulphate from the pharmacy and apply this to the abscess. This is a drawing ointment and can only be used on unbroken skin.
Avatar m tn While I was on interferon therapy and my resistance was low, I developed an abscess on my buttock that was drained and healed. For several months now I have had pain that feels deeper in the tissue, possibly in the ischeum. It has never come to a point and there is no drainage that I can detect. I cannot see any external signs of swelling or redness. Have not been feverish recently. Could this be an ischiorectal abscess or possibly pudental nerve pain?
Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.
