I have had a lump on the inside of my vagina since before I was sexually active (my bartholin gland). When I became sexually active it would stay the same. Whenever I became really sexually active for a period of time it would swell, growing in size, then go back down after sexual inactivity. In the past month I had a severe bladder infection that had gone to my kidneys and was prescribed amox tr-k clv 875-125 mg tab. I had my doctor test for sti s and the results were negative. The bladder infection went away, but then afterward I became sexually active again and then the gland grew. I did not know not to have sex until it healed and swelling went down and I had had sex when it was inflamed and had mild discomfort. After that I had more discomfort and it was uncomfortable to sit and run around. With the discomfort I experienced brown discharge that has dissipated to a clearer fluid. There was also a smell with the brown discharge that became milder as the fluid did. The size hasn t changed much, about an inch in diameter. I hadn t taken all of the antibiotics from my bladder infection and am wondering if I completed the dosage of antibiotics if it would help heal the area if it is infected. I don t know if the cyst has turned into an abscess, but the area seems normal, just swollen.
