Accepted Answer

You may have a...: Bartholin's cyst.  This is an abscess that can occur on either side of the inner vagina near its entrance.  You need to see a gynecologist (or at least a doctor who's experienced in gynecology) to confirm the diagnosis and drain the cyst.  You may be prescribed antibiotics and given some other instructions to help the cyst heal.  Unfortunately, it's not something you can treat on your own.

Accepted Answer

Transmission...: Transmission, transmitted, as in Sexually Transmitted Diseases, means passing from one person to the next. So, each person gets to ask, "Do I have a disease from somebody else, that I can transmit to another person?" In each scenario, who MIGHT have the disease? It must be the person(s) who have had sexual contact. The disease transmits FROM the person who has had sexual contact, to others.
