Hernia?

[mary9761]

Not trying to be too intimate and nosey here, but you mentioned the Bartholin's Cyst. I'm familiar with that as they thought at one point I had it, I ended up having something much different and fairly rare but it appears in the same general area and description. Here's the question, is the bulging in the space of the groin between your labia and thigh or is the actual labia involved making you feel/appear to have suddenly "grown" a testicle? Sometimes bartholin's when they become inflamed are quite painful and appear/feel like you've suddenly gained a new piece of anatomy you were never born with. I know when my angiomyfibroblastoma appeared, gyn's originally thought bartholin's due to the location appearance and pain. Mine ended up being a rare tumor that mimicked the bartholin's. They couldn't understand when they tried to lance what they thought to be the cyst, that they never got anything but blood from it, it was because there was no cyst but the thankfully benign (was a type of tumor I found out could have been malignant). Good luck

Mary,
You're not being too nosey. That's what this list is for. It's between the labia and the thigh. I have not grown a testicle but thanks for the smile.

Oh and I'll make sure to talk to my new doctor about the possibility of it NOT being a bartholin's cyst if anything funny should arise.
