[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A close friend had one on her wrist. She was told by her doctor to smack it hard, with a large book, or wait for it to drain slowly itself.  She chose the 2nd option.

I imagine if you're having a surgical proceedure that you'll have some form of anesthetic.

You'll be fine. [/quote]

Thanks, PP. This cyst is at the opening of my vagina, so waiting hasn’t worked and hitting myself with a book makes me laugh at the idea. :-)  The doctor said they inject me with some kind of local anesthetic, so I am dreading that needle like anything.[/quote]

I’m cyst removal PP and the mixup between a bartholin and ganglion cyst is hilarious. Definitely not the same!

The needle is indeed bad and I hope you got through it in one piece, OP. I want to warn you that if your cyst was caused by injuries sustained during childbirth or other trauma, it’s very likely that it will return and that surgery will be necessary. Mine was caused by trauma to my vaginal wall during a Sunny-side up labor and delivery which damaged the bartholin gland and the vaginal wall by it, and it was always going to keep recurring. I remember the gyn and random internet peeps telling me that and me being like, nah, I won’t need surgery.

I needed surgery.[/quote]
