Almost 10 years ago I had what they called a hard to treat Bartholin's cyst that seemed to resolve over time. This June about a week after having a pouchoscopy I felt a strange couple of bumps on the outside of my vagina more on the labia, I feared this could be a fistula or Bartholin's gland forming. I have never been diagnosed with fistula before. This time I treated it like a Bartholin's cyst and it eventually burst and bled and drained a lot. There is still a small lump that is painful from time to time, I am worried it may start to swell again and it still is not fully healed. I spoke to my GI doctor whom Im not to impressed with and she did order an MRI but they are booking out over a month. Can a pelvic MRI actually detect/ rule out a fistula? Has anyone been through this before? I also have a lot of rectal pain and I swear somethings going on there too as skin will swell then bleed and then feel better however they always say they are skin tags but I am not certain doctors know everything.
