My Story
I had a reoccurring bartholin cyst for years. The cyst would randomly swell up and cause severe pain, resulting in a doctor's visit to get a procedure to lance and drain the cyst.
If you could go back and tell your previous self something you know now about this health issue or journey what might that be?
More information on what a cyst is and why it was reoccurring. I had no idea that it would keep returning unless the gland it formed in was removed, which was the solution we found years later.
How did this event or journey impact your day-to-day life?
