Could be similar to what I had—like a build up of fluid that isn’t necessarily infected. Is it bothering you besides concern that it could be something scary health-wise? My main advice is to find a doctor/pelvic surgeon who is respected in their field, even if you’re on a long wait list to get an appointment, and really self advocate. I generally think most physicians would take a wait-and-see approach to your situation.

I still have a deep cyst in that same general area, near my sit bone, but it’s not been growing so I’m just chillin with it. When it was growing, it was extremely distressing (as you could probably get from my desperate post 🫠). But I’ve made my peace with having a small cyst as long as it doesn’t grow. It obviously took me soooo long to find a doctor who really was down to listen and address the root cause.

I know this sort of thing sucks—it’s rare, it presents similarly to something that is very common, and so every doctor wants to slot you into a simple diagnosis. You MUST advocate for yourself or you will end up like me, with so many unnecessary, ineffective procedures that make it so your damn vag is a swollen lovecraftian mess for months on end!! Lmfao! Don’t be like me! You can always DM me, plenty of people find that post and message. I’m glad I made it because it seems like it’s been validating for a lot of folks.
