Bartholyn cyst

Body: 

Dear Ladies,
Is anyone here who has ever had Bartholin cyst or abscess? A pea-sized "ball" under my skin appeared two days ago. It is deep inside near my perineum. I am almost sure it is a Bartholyn-cyst and it starts to imflame and became red. If I touch it aches.
I would appreciate any advice.

Do you think the operation can affect my rectocele? Budahazya

I had one throughout my teens and early 20's. It would flare up and I would either wait it out with hot baths to open it up, or, a few times I went to the doctor to have it lanced. Very very very painful either way. At about 22 I had a quick hospital procedure to have the gland removed. It never came back or caused any problems and that was in 1972. Can't see it having any effect on current or future prolapse one way or the other. - Surviving

Thank you Surviving, I am a bit afraid because of the future pain...but also happy because it can be cured eventually.
