About a year ago I started having vaginal burning. I developed a Bartholin cyst which was treated with antibiotics twice. Since then it's been the same pattern of a swelling (pimple looking) thing in the vagina along with burning, irritation and itching. What concerns me is that is worse when the pouch is full. I have passed air in tha vagina for the past year although there is no obvious stool or foul discharge (sorry for the graphics). I have wondered about a fistula for the past year. I finally had the Bartholin cyst marsupialized but the irritation, redness, burning, pimple-thing has continued. And always worse when the pouch is full or gassy. Hot baths help to ease it somewhat. There is apparently a 'tract' in the vagina that the gynecologist thinks goes no where. I have an MRI scheduled but not until the end of October. Is there anything I can do to try on my own to determine if this is in fact an rv tistula in the meantime? I feel pretty desperate. The end of October seems a long way off.
