Thirteen to 21 percent of these cysts turn out to be cancerous. You may need the cyst removed if it's growing too large, is painful, or is causing some other problem.

I've been in a relationship for 24 days and just found out I'm pregnant. What are the options for abortion is it a long procedure like surgery or can it be done with pills? I'm still a student, so can you explain how it works and whether I need to tell my parents or if I can just go to the hospital?

Medical abortion up to 7 weeks is possible with pills‚Äîdone under supervision; legality depends on age and consent, parental consent not mandatory if adult.

I've noticed that the skin on the right side between my vagina and anus feels hard, almost like there's a lump under the skin. It's quite painful, and I'm really concerned. I'm wondering if this could be something harmful?

This could be due to a condition called a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the pain and swelling. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics or drainage of the cyst may be necessary.
