WOW! I was getting so so upset and scared prior to finding this site. It may not change my problem but lord I'm glad not to be the only one with this well,embarassing problem. Ive started to feel irritation last night.I'm 52 years old and had a complete hysterectomy 15 yrs ago.Ive never heard of anything like this in my life,nothing beyond maybe 10 yeast infections at best.I'm not a prude but how the heck do you explain this to people??? Its what i thought before coming here. So last night i started feel pain down south and checked it out.There was some swelling but NOTHING like today! I have to walk like a cowgirl and still feel pressure and size of a large blueberry lump on left side of clitoris hood,not on clit but beside on hood. Its not on right side so my ligic ruled out infection.It is not ingrown hair as there are none in that nick if the bush.I mean i am red and swollen and my Gennie is NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.I hate to see my dr with this wondering what she'll come up with to explain it and to be honest i havent felt mych confidance in her past few yrs.After 15 yrs im not sure whats wrong with her(menopause????) But she's turned into a B***H. Because of other conditions she treats me for and shortage of GPs ,don't ask what wait will be for an OBGN...its a gamble to leave...I need go because although its a hard lump,theres no indication of a cyst at this point at all... i shouldn't read about vulva cancer....bad idea to assume the worst but Jesus H.Christ,what a place to get a medical issue!!!! Thats my pleasure spot. Leave it be I say!!!! Ive not been sexually active since my last long term relationship 3 1/2 yrs ago(I KNOW.....!) so its definitely not an STD and affect my Master-bators visits south. Thats irritating the hell out of me too!!!!Im so annoyed with the burning irritation and pressure and sitting with my legs spread eagle (seriously....). I read hot bath with salts and terrified it'll cause additional burning and irritation.Its the last thing i need.I'm off to spend a weekend at my Ex's cottage.No way im getting into the lake... of course he'll annoy me about it and my Gennie is none of his business any longer. A wet bikini bottom is the last thing i need although cool water sounds pretty haaaaaahhhh right now i believe keeping it dry is best.Of course no tub there and chlorine of hot tub or pool where i live is a big NONO!!! And i imagine sitting there with my boy cut  panties with a hot cloth spread out watching Big Bang Theory is just not in the ball park 

If he was expecting sex he's S out of luck.Thats the only part im glad of.Can't use my period as an excuse as he knows ive not had one in 15 yrs. Ill go see if a Dr can see me at my clinic or just go to urgent care and last thing i desire,some strange man meeting poor unhappy indisposed Gennie ;) but what else can I do.There is always the sexual health clinic as they are south 12 months a yr but without an STD (icould lie about it) getting checked would be their plan.

I really hope it is not a cyst. I also really hope its something else.

I feel pretty bummed emotionally about it too. For some reason i feel so sensitive both North....and south right now although North feels no pain :(  :'(

Thanks for all being there.It makes a world of difference to me.
