Developed lump below clitoris. What could it be?
Answered by
Thanks for the query.
According to your description there is possibility of bartholin cyst.
Bartholin cyst presents near the opening of vagina.
Its function is lubricating the vagina during intercourse with its secretions.
When the duct of the gland gets blocked it forms cyst. When the cyst gets infected abscess forms.
Abscess will be filled with blood and pus and gives pain.
When you squeeze it some amount of blood and pus will come out relieving some pressure.
Now you once consult gynecologist and undergo physical examination. After observing the condition of the lump she will give you treatment options.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.

MD history:
i had an extremely large abscess form due to a bartholin cyst. it began growing in jan but i didn't recognize it as a problem until mar. it has reinfected and created more chambers, tunnels each time. this has happened 6 times. i had multiple i and d's, a failed attempt at a word catheter, then a finally marsupialisation may 19. however, another infection occurred after i finished the moxatag x 10 days. copious amounts of milky white thin fluid had to be expressed that looks yellowish tan on tissue and has an oily feel. it smelled like dirty feet. the dr called in bactrim ds x 10d on, jun 8th but after 5 d i went in (yesterday) to be checked because i feel ill all over and weak. she gave me a rocephin inj and i'm to keep on the bactrim. today i again had at least a cc or more of the fluid come out from the marsupialised area but it didn't smell as foul.
question: what does normal bartholin gland fluid look like, and what is a normal amount, and can this infection cause bacteremia, and should my antibiotic be changed because of the amount of drainage?
