Saw a lovely GP today that I haven't seen since before the holidays, about problems in that area,I've had like a white lump down below for ages now, it swells up occasionally. I've seen countless GPs but noone has ever seen anything unusual, I've kept going back though and asking for help as it's quite sore. Well, doctor today asked me first (before I could ask) if everything was alright there - and she checked, and she is agreeing with me that yes something is a bit funny! She prodded around a bit and thinks it is a cyst which if it gets any sorer can be drained - I told her it had been there for a year (but I don't think it has, it only came up Feb time I think) and she said well if its been there for a year it'll be fine. If it hasn't been there for a year tho could it be more serious, and she just isnt worried cos I said its been there for so long.. She did say the skin around it was soft and moveable - so maybe I don't need to worry still?
.. I am so glad someone has listened :yesyes: though, what a relief!
She has also reffered me for an operation down there as I have excess skin apparently (sorry, maybe tmi) - called a labiaplasty? I'm getting an assessment in 6-8 weeks seemingly. I'm quite nervous as it'll be either a local/sedation or a general anaesthetic - I'll push for a local - but the last time I discussed this with a doctor she tried to put me off it by saying I would lose all sensation, I could bleed a lot, I could get an infection etc. so am quite worried? I'm sure it will be OK but I am nervous and just wondering if anyone can give me some reassurance.
