shauniemae - I have a recurring Barthonlins cyst. Sorry you're dealing with it too. I would get them, they would swell, but drain on their on. Once about 8ish years ago, it didn't drain and I was in severe pain. The doctor inserted a catheter for a week to create a draining hole (sorry if TMI). It was uncomfortable, but bearable. I still get them, but not as often and not as big. They usually drain after about 3 days.
It is painful and frustrating, but most cases are not major.
I also get a lot of yeast infections.
I am not sure what choice you're referring to, but none of this is your fault. Our bodies are just weird sometimes!

Thank you calle28. This is definitely new territory for me. I should've said sorry for the brain dump. It's just that it seems I've had so many infections and medical issues related to the same area/stuff and it's getting old. I'm concerned because it seems to have continued to get bigger over the days since I've noticed it. I'm concerned about how the drain works...I did read about it a little bit.
It is quite painful depending on how I sit, etc. The doc said it may just be due to the size and pressure of fluid and tissue surrounding it. I'd like to think it as just coincidences or oddities, it just seems that ever since I chose........abortion as an option, I've had a lot of health related gynecological problems. And I'll hold my breath now because I've never really said that "aloud" before or to more than a couple friends. This is a good place to hide it, I guess.
shauniemae I'm not a doctor, but I can feel pretty confident when I say you are not being punished for the choices you made in the past. Bodies are weird and change with age. Hormones amp up or slow down, bacteria and pH levels go haywire. It happens. Take care of yourself, both medically and emotionally.

Somehow in the last 48 hrs I've turned into a man magnet
A cute paramedic, a cute cowboy and a cute guy I met in the elevator in my work building ! I'm really hoping AZ wins tonight so if I run into the elevator guy we'll have something to chat about lol
Sorry I didn't get back in here until today...worked both jobs yesterday.
But thank you for what the few of you guys said. I still think about it and actually still process that decision sometimes. I do appreciate the reassurance. I know most of that train of thought is irrational, but I can't help to think it. It's something I struggle with now and then. Things aren't going much better today, but I think I'll give it time over the weekend and see what Monday brings.
