I had a reoccurring bartholin cyst for years. The cyst would randomly swell up and cause severe pain, resulting in a doctor's visit to get a procedure to lance and drain the cyst.
More information on what a cyst is and why it was reoccurring. I had no idea that it would keep returning unless the gland it formed in was removed, which was the solution we found years later.
A large tumor was found in my sigmoid colon during a colonoscopy.I had to have surgery to remove my sigmoid colon. During surgery they discovered I had endometriosis and was covered in very dense scar tissue. They had to do some reconstructive work and that led to me having an ostomy bag for three months. The tumor was precancerous and they were able to remove all of it. A year later, I had to have a full hysterectomy.
Listen to your body. If something doesn’t seem right,, go have it checked out.
