all right so i am back with another video in my bartholin cyst series so in this video i want
to talk about bartholin cyst causes and if you are suffering with the bartholin cysts girl you
are not alone two in ten women have bartholin sis so let's go ahead and get into the video hey miss
lady if you are new here my name is quinn i am your rn best friend and on this channel i share
story times reviews and facts and information all about feminine wellness on the inside and the
outside so if you're interested in that consider subscribing and make sure you thumbs up the video
so in my typical fashion i have to make sure i am very clear on what bartholin cyst are and
to describe and explain bartholin cyst i got to tell you about the bartholin gland which is
where the cysts originate from so the bartholin glands are located on either side on each side of
the vaginal opening what they do is a very important job they're actually in charge of
secreting lubrication when you get excited when you you know you're ready to do the do when
you're ready to win bam all this stuff right there the lube comes from probably top lanes
the nikki and all that stuff right there what do you call it i just want to know i'm just being in
your business put it down in the comment section okay back to the video so the glands are actually
just tiny little things they're small like the size of a peak like the size of a green p on
both sides of the vaginal opening right and the reason that we get those cysts is because
they get blocked and then they fill up but the fluid is still trying to produce you know
the fluid still wants to come out but those ducts get blocked and usually it's like one side or the
other that gets blocked they don't both typically get blocked and that blockage
the the cause of swelling that is what we call a cyst it forms a cyst from the swelling right
so let me tell you a little bit about my story because i feel like when i know people's stories
i can better understand you know it is you you got what i got going on
this story started for real back when i was in high school so in high school is the very first
time i found out that i had a bartholomew cyst and i'm just bring straight up with you about
how this all went down so i was feeling like i was having a lot of fullness down yonder in my
vagina you know i'm feeling like i had like a golf ball or something just sitting down there
and it just i was it wasn't right it wasn't right i was uncomfortable it wasn't necessarily hurting
me when i first realized that i had it going on down there you know when i felt the fullness
it wasn't necessarily hurting me but i knew that that was not normal
and the kicker of the whole thing is the fact that at the time i was sexually active okay
and you know it's one of those things where you don't necessarily want to go
and tell your mama or i didn't i didn't have that kind of relationship with my mama to be like um
something going on and um by the way i've been getting it
now i really hope i have a a relationship like that well not they ain't gonna be
coming to me like that but my job my daughters we are we'll make we
but anyway now me and my girls are really really open but me and my mama was not that's what a
stutter originates from even sitting here now i'm just like anyway back to the store
so uncomfortable swelling as i talk to my friend
i'm like you know girl i'm having this i feel like real so i feel like a golf ball is down there like
i'm sitting on an egg you know i'm walking around with an egg in my vagina this is not feeling good
but like i said it wasn't necessarily hurting so they was like what you know we don't know nothing
about that nobody knew nobody knew nothing about that so i'm just walking around i'm just walking i
just think it won't hurt so i'm like oh okay maybe to go away go away so i'm still you know engaging
with my boyfriend all that stuff right there and there comes a time when it's like hurting it's
you know it's a little uncomfortable to engage it's uncomfortable to engage so i'm like you know
i probably need to see about this but what i'm gonna say to get to the clinic what can i say
to get to the clinic without my mama asking me what's going on you know you know you know
you know what i'm saying when you're seeing that you know so i just i'm like i can't talk
about that right now i can't get all into that and i did not um but then i just let it go on
let it go on until that thing was hurting like it was it was hurting i went at the point then
when i was really looking down there like that but this made me look down there like that so
i got to know myself at a young age don't say that i went ahead i looked down there and i was it was
like literally the right side of malaya it was a little bowl down there you know i was freaking out
you know i was just work oh my god and the first thing that came to my mind of course i got std you
you know what i'm saying you when you see that thing down there
literally swole up it's it's just like that you know it ain't right
you just know it ain't right and you just don't know what it is though
all right so because this was going on now this was at the point where i had to see
about something so let me tell you i told my mama i was like hey mama i think i got a uta
uti now uti is one of those things she ain't really asking questions about
like you know my p my piece meant strong i need to go to the doctor
that goes up in there and you know at this point we was at a situation where i could be like um
you know you you stay out here you stay out here i go in there i go in there
go up in there prepare for the worst here for the worst i'm just like oh no
because yeah go up in there dudes like to do it exactly when i tell a nurse real real
inconspicuous like you know i guess i'm going you know you know so she's like feel something
like a golf ball it's egg it's something i gotta eat in my vagina i got egg growing out my vagina
i don't know what to tell you so y'all help can somebody help go in there they do the exam
and the doctor of course knew right off what it was she like oh that's a cyst i ain't never
heard of this before of course now i've heard crabs you know what i'm saying i heard siblings
unheard of let me i heard that stuff i heard no bartholo insist and it don't sound like
there's no good thing at all so i'm scared so i'm like oh my gosh is it gonna take my mom
why is that the first thing i was scared of but it was i was that's the first thing else you know
second thing was like you know there's something in here but these these i'm just gonna roll little
eggs all down there all around there because that ain't gonna be cute that ain't gonna be good
and it's gonna be heavy anyway so she's like nah but i can just give you some antibiotics and it's
gonna go down and you're gonna be all right but um you you know you know the problem had this failure
it's gonna be coming back it's gonna come and go come and go i'm like what she's like yeah
more than likely it's gonna come and go come and go she gave me some antibiotics it went
down i went on and here i am still talking about it 40 years later because she was not lying when
she said it come and go come and go come and go now into the causes why did that even happen why
does that happen to us um i did tell you that at this time i was sexually active but y'all it's not
necessarily like an std or anything like that but what we do know it is caused by inflammation
of some type a bacteria of some type maybe some injury of some type that happened down there we
don't necessarily know but i'll just go ahead and run a list for you of some of the possible causes
and if you want to know the treatments that i use the treatment that is like my number one go to
make sure again you go ahead and thumbs up this video and subscribe because a whole lot of
videos are coming that are going to explain um i'm actually going to tell y'all when i happen because
i actually did get it popped one time i did i'm gonna tell you not not popped in a sense like that
but you know i had actually got it surgically in size so just go ahead and subscribe to the channel
so you don't miss that also click the bell the bell is what's going to send you the notifications
that the new videos out but let me go ahead and talk about some of the possible causes
so like i said inflammation it could be from some kind of injury to the vagina
a bacterial infection could be the cause of it and yes even though it's not necessarily from std
sometimes chlamydia gonorrhea some of those things could actually cause that to happen and even if
you have some type of vaginal surgery sometimes that closet closes causes the uh blockage to occur
so i'm gonna tell you like my doctor told me way long time ago if it's not causing you any problems
if it's not red it's not inflamed it's not hurting you then you probably want to leave
it alone that's what i do i just kind of leave it alone if it's not really inflamed or anything like
that um but if it is then that's when you want to go ahead and seek treatment hope you did get some
