Labia Pain When Wearing Underwear Posted: 11-27-07 23:38pm
I was wondering if anyone has been in a
situation similar to mine or has any
insight.
I've had a problem with Bartholin Gland's
cysts for about three years. I'm used to
having pain from that so when I started to
feel this new pain, I thought it was just
that. Now I am wondering if it is
something else.
Whenever I had a cyst or just pain in that
area, I would, on my doctor's suggestion,
wear very loose-fitting sweatpants and no
underwear. I had to do this about a month
and a half ago for a week when I was in a
lot of pain. However, I haven't been able
to get back to wearing jeans (and they're
not even tight) or underwear for more than
a few hours. If I wear jeans or underwear
for a long time, I start to have labia
pain (just on one side-- where I have my
Bartholin's cysts problems so that makes
me wonder whether it is still that).
Once, after sleeping in underwear, it hurt
so much the next day that my sweatpants
even brushing my labia would hurt.
There is some redness at times. I don't
have any itching or burning. I recently
went to see my doctor for a check-up on
the Bartholin's cyst problem and told her
about this... she gave me a medication for
yeast infection, which I took. It hasn't
gotten better.
