TMI-COMING UP

Has anyone had a cyst on the vagina in pregnancy. I found out yesterday that why ive been in so much pain as i've got one the size of a grape it really hurts to walk, sit down pretty much everything i do they given me amoxcillin antibiotics but said it wont go with them but should stop hurting.. If anyone has ever had one in pregnancy what did they do treatment wise or did they just leave it  

I don't know if this helps but I've had cysts when I wasn't pregnant and my OB/GYN did nothing for treatment. 2 of them burst (which hurt and I got some pain meds for) and the rest seemed to go away on their own.

They were really bad on both ovaries and the doctor thought I had PCOS, but my hormones were fine. So in his mind I guess there was nothing to treat..

I've had something similar, my dr referred to them as abcesses or boils but i'm guessin they're the same thing? anyway i've had two on my vagina that drained on their own, one that flared up then went away without draining, and one underneath my breast :-( painful as hell but didn't take any antibiotics for it. sittin in a hot bath with salt in the water for 20 mins or so helped, as did hot compresses and painkillers. i hope it goes away soon!

yeah iv had a couple and they hurt like hell!! i took hot baths ((that made them bigger so they where ready to TMI pop) also was given amoxocilin too,try hot baths with salt it really helped me but this wasnt when i was pregnant tho so will be more painful for you now.....

Ive tried a hot bath last night it feel slightly bigger. just wish it would go or stop hurting and growing. yeah think they are the same thing. I see my midwife next week so if still in pain will see if she can book me in to see my consultant earlier than 20wks or go back to see my doctor just dont think i cant cope much longer

keep having hot baths,i know it sucks but only way it will get better is heat and eventually it will pop but it wont go unless all the infection is on surface for it to pop and when it does omg its so much relief,i couldnt walk at all when i had mine.i know how you feel and its awful

Thanks yeah will keep with the hot baths have to do something as it really driving me mad just hope it pops soon and doesn't come back!

i had one and i took a hot bath with lots of salt, or you can use epsome salt (not sure if thts spelt right) and it should end up draining its self , but if its that bad id dothe bath and salt a few times.. doesnt hurt to try

When I was 26wks pregnant with my daughter I had a cyst / abcess come up right at the bottom of my back, my GP sent me to A&E and they drained it under a local anaesthetic (they normally do it under general anaesthetic) and had a district nurse come to the house to dressed the wound for 3wks. It came back with me when I was 39wks and they drained it again, although they did try antibiotics before that.

Hope they sort it for you soon, I was in agony with mine but had instant relief as son as it was drained the twice .

yeah if these's antibiotics dont work then im going to go back and see if they will drain it or something the doctor said if it gets worse they will need to operate but dont want that whilst im pregnant so if they could drain it think that would be better and it hurts to move and sit and baths seem to be making it bigger i wont be able wee soon

They are horrible things, but the hospital was great when had mine done. The GP sent me to A&E and it went from there, but they arranged to have a midwife in the operating room to keep an eye on the baby while they drained it, it was actually like a mini version of the operation that they did. I thought it would hurt more for having been drained and pulled aout but the relief was immediate.

I think if it gets bigger than a 50p piece then they'll have to do something about it especially if the antibiotics aren't working. The specialist I saw second time around said that antibiotics usually don't work on that type of abcess/cyst.

yeah the gp said the antibiotics wont get rid of cyst and its all ready big enough and when i sit down there is alot of pressure on it which isn't helping. Hope they do something to help me and soon!

like every one above ^^^^^^ has said, hot compresses, and hot baths. Ive had them a few times and until it pops you will get no releif x
the doctor gave be anti biotics but he said that 80% of the time its due to blocked hair folicals from shaving, waxing etc...... but they are quite common. hope you get some relief soon.......there not nice xx
