About 5 months ago ive noticed a lump about 1/2 inch up (or less) in the right side of my vagina . It started out being small but then began to swell (about the size of a grape). After five days and realizing it wasnt going down I went to the health department. They told me it might be a bartholin cyst, but wasnt sure as they werent trained in cyst. So they referred me to a gyno. I have no insurance so I ended up not going. About a couple days later it finally it went down but never left. Evantually I stopped worrying about until now. This morning I noticed that it is swollen again. Their not painful more like a bruised feeling if anything. But after reading about them alot of women are in pain when abscessed, and they get really big. So im wondering if it is a bartholin cyst. If anyone could help it would be greatly apperciate it. Thanks.
