Can the lump be diagnosed without an examination?
A Bartholin's cyst may appear as a lump on one side near the vaginal opening. It can be painless or cause discomfort when sitting or walking. Other causes are possible, so a new lump should be assessed rather than diagnosed from an online image.
When should you seek help promptly?
Arrange urgent assessment if the lump becomes larger and more painful over hours or days, contains pus, feels hot or swollen, or is associated with fever or feeling unwell. These can be features of an abscess. Do not wait for a routine booking reply if symptoms are rapidly worsening.
What should you prepare for the appointment?
Note when the lump appeared, how it has changed, pain, discharge and any earlier episodes or treatments. Bring your medicine list and relevant reports. You do not need to share intimate photographs or personal medical details in public comments to request an appointment.
How can you discuss privacy during the visit?
Ask the clinician to explain the examination and the reason for each step. Say if you would like a chaperone and discuss your comfort and privacy preferences. The purpose is to understand the lump and choose an appropriate next step, not to select a procedure before the diagnosis is clear.
Should you squeeze or drain it yourself?
Do not try to squeeze or drain the lump, because this can cause infection. Treatment depends on assessment and may involve follow-up or referral. Confirm any proposed service, availability and fees with the clinic; this guide does not establish that an intervention is suitable for every patient.
