What Causes Vaginal Pain And Cysts?

I have chronic pain in (what my orthopedist described) the pubic rami - then ischial tuberosity it has been over a year I separately have been seeing a gynecologist - first, 3 years ago with a diagnosis of VIN 3 - had a partial vulvectomy . In the last 6 months have been experience vaginal pain with cysts -- ( labs are still out for the removal of last cyst. ) the location is on the right side only which is the same side as the pubic pain... about 2 - 3 inches away. I am seeing two doctors for two different pain problems - Is there a possibility that the 2 are related and if some, what specialist would be needed. Any thoughts??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For this, there are few causes and most common is Bartholin's Cyst which Is located midway of the labia, and protrudes into the vagina and may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse. Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva). Second, Infected hair follicle may form small absess, which can cause a small swelling, but it is associated with redness and throbbing pain. Proper diagnosis requires a proper physical examination of the swelling in question. You might consult a gynecologist who can examine and then decide on the appropriate treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
