Assalamualaikum w.b.t..
Here i am..again..about the bartholin abscess that continue hunting me..
It was 2 weeks ago..about 10 october 2018, i feel a tiny little pain near my anus..it was later after i poop..it always start that way. So i knew it's coming. 10 oct was on wednesday, my offday. On thursday the next day, i went to gov clinic to ask for some antibiotic since i remember my mom asked me when i get the previous abscess saying, "can you try to stop it becoming an abscess by going to the doctor and ask for some med?"..so on 11 oct i did went to see the doctor..there was two doctors. One man, one woman. The man doc welcome me, and when i said, i have an abscess next to my vagina, he ask the woman doc to see it..so she did. But at that time, the lump was barely seen, so, the doc prescribe me some antibiotic (cloxacillin) and painkiller (diclofenac). I went home and continue my life as usual..
Until 16 oct i could feel the lump was getting bigger. And the pain was a lot more than a week before. 16 oct was on tuesday.. i could still do my job very well.. but the next day, the swell keep getting bigger, but i could still walk. Just a bit difficult to sit on a hard place such as plastic chair and so on.
The next day, on 18 oct i went to see the same doc..woman doc. At that time, i cant sit straight. The abscess was on my left, so i sat on my right side. When i saw the doc, i told her, " the painkiller does not work, the pain doesnt go away". She said, " o really? Did you eat it frequently?". I said, "no, just one pill"..the she said, "ok, then i'll prescribe you the strongest painkiller we have, ponstan"..and i get 2 days medical leave after that..i was prescribed with more cloxacillin and another type of painkiller, pontacid.
So, the next day, was quite tough, i barely move. In 24 hours, i spent 23hours on bed..the other 1 hour was for sitz bath with epsom salt in lukewarm water, pee and shower.
So, on 20 oct i should start work, but the abscess dont seem to burst..the night before i was praying for it to burst by itself. If not, i'll need to go to private clinic to lance it, since it was saturday, no gov clinic was open, even if its open, no gov doc would do it..they usually want the abscess to burst naturally..but the pain was so severe. I must go back to work, since my partner, another assistant supervisor will start her offday in the evening of the day. And even she had a fever. I keep google the nearest private clinic. But then i realize, my bank account was almost emptied 😅😅😅..so, i need to think of other way..then i considered going to the ER, but it will surely take time, i'll need to wait longer..and i cant!!!!even laying on the bed doing absolute nothing is a major pain, how come i can handle waiting in the ER? ..so, i keep praying for it to burst by itself.
On 20 oct, morning, i woke up at 7.30am..yeah still early, when i'm getting ready, i feel like pooping..yeah, pooping in the morning, has become a routine..suddenly i get the urge to poke my abscess using a needle. So, i grab a needle, and walk to the washroom. Settle pooping, i take the needle and poke it into my abscess, the pain was not as severe as the abscess..So i'm totally fine.then the needle go through the abscess, i pull it out, but the puss didnt come out. So i poke once again, make sure it was in, and pull it to the side, like opening a zip..AND!!!! the grayish puss came out...lots of them. I feel so good.. then i pull out the needle, use my hand to push the abscess..then the blood came out..lots of them..the water in the toilet bowl turned red, no more puss..when it settled, i came out of the washroom smiling. I can now walk better..
But that doesnt mean my pain is completely gone. I still cant sit correctly. And there was still some swelling down there. I decided to wear pad, to make sure the remain blood or puss was out and not staining my pant.
Until now, on 24th oct, i can still feel the pain, just a slightest pain. But its so, itchy..hmm
I cant help but think about it everyday, 365 days a year for 3 years now..
I hate it..so damn much..
