A member asked:

I had a lump in my perineum for about 3 years. and it gets big and then small. but this time u could. really. see it cause. it s so swollen.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see Dr.: It is probably a common type of cyst, but it sounds like it's now become infected. Go see your gynecologist, family practice doctor, or planned parenthood-type clinic. Don't wait because once infected, they need to be treated.
