Re: Bartholin's Gland Abscess Hell Experience
I had to go thru the same pain on my first doctor visit for my bartholins problem. He gave me shots in the area of abcess (like the dentist would give to numb your gums). Well, the shots didnt work. And the doctor missed the abcess with the scalpel, and i must agree it was THE WORST PAIN EVER. I was screaming for him to stop cutting me, begging him to stop. Sinced he missed the abcess, i had to come back a couple days later. This time he gave me a shot of demmeral in the butt and i couldnt feel anything.
Thats my advice to anyone dealing with this for the first time. If theyyou want toyou lance it, tell themyou to give you demeral, as ita is athat VERY sensitivenice area they're dealinggonna with! And also, if you have insurance, try to see a gyno. Maybe even two.
When mine was coming back a second time i decided to see a gyno cuz i had insurance. He told me he had to wait for it to get inflamed before he could do anything. Within a few days it swelled up to the size of TWO golf balls. I had to go to e.r. the e.r. doc said hed lance it, but when he lifted my smock to look at it for the first time he was shocked. He said he was not going to touch it and he was gonna call the oncall gyno. She was heaven sent. She told me the first doctor should have done something about it when it was smaller (about pea sized).
So PLEASE ladies, if you're not sure or are uncomfortable, get a second opinion!
I feel like it's coming back a third time, so i called my doc yesterday, she immediately called in a scriipt for strong
Antibiotics and I'm going to her office today.
