Hi yes I suffer with this too. It started at just before Christmas 09. I also had an extra bleed between my Dec period and my Jan period went for some scans but nothing was there apart from a cyst which cleared up on its own. I still get the ache when I am due on my period. I haven't been to my docs as I seem to be always round there for one thing or another. Glad I am not the only one with this though as sometimes you think something is so obscure you are the only one!! xx

Hi

I get this too. I have suffered from bartholins cysts for several years and have recently been diagnosed with a small sebaceous cyst on the left side of my vulva but I don't think that it is this that causes the pain. I have some redness sometimes around the many scars I have in that region from child birth (3 times) and 3 bartholins cyst operations.

I have an ache that is not there all the time but is there every day. I also get pain in my lower back, buttocks and groin on the left side and when I have been sitting for a while, my buttock cheek and thigh can go numb on that side too. The doctor thinks it is something to do with my back rather than the vulva itself but being a health anxious person, I do worry about vulva cancer!!

I always seem to be worrying about something and it is usually cancer related so I know how you feel.
