Has anyone had Bartholin's cysts?

Before i got pregnant i had these pea sized lumps that were really painful but there on the outside of my lady area not inside or anything.. and i got tested at the GUM clinic for STI's and i was all clear .. then when i got pregnant got more lumps but i got asked regular if everything was ok and i said about them but they soon went .. and then i havent had them since having my son but now iv got more there not very big but there really painful i just wondered if anyone had what sounds like iv got and if it might be Bartholin cysts because i dont think iv got a transmitted infection tbh. I havent been to the doctors about it because iv recently been about my eczema and i feel if i make an appointment again there going to think im coming every week! and ontop of it all there all old men there and i just really dont feel comfy with showing them .. but im thinking it would be a good idea to go back to the GUM clinic and see what the women thinks there hopefully theyll be able to tell me what it is.

I had one a few years ago and I was far too embarressed to see the doctors.
Luckily it went away on its own accord, I bathed in a warm bath of salt water and stopped using soaps or anything scented and kept the area dry and wore skirts instead of trousers.
It is definitely NOT a STD, I got it when i was a virgin they are pretty normal and nothing to worry about (apart from discomfort).

Here's a link if you are worried about it

do you have a family planning centre?, they tend to have female docters there who may be able to help.
