I noticed a small lump about the size of a pea under my skin near my clitoris about a month ago. It disappeared but now it's come back and feels like a hard little ball. What could this be and should I be worried?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a benign cyst, possibly a Bartholin gland cyst or a blocked gland. While it's usually not a cause for concern, it's a good idea to get it checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any issues and get proper advice on how to manage it.

I've had cysts in both breasts for the last two months and they sometimes cause pain. Can you tell me if this can be treated with medication or if surgery is needed? Also, is it safe to try for pregnancy right now with this condition? I've attached my ultrasound and FNAC reports for reference

excision of the cyst is advised.
