Hello Healthboards!
After a long, and semi-grueling ordeal that I am still dealing with, I have come to forums to seek advice from those that MAY have experienced this in the past in hopes I can get some advice in to finding out what may be wrong.
I apologize in advance, this post might be a little bit long as I explain the fullness of the situation, before asking for advice I figure it's best to know what's happened thus far.
about 1 year ago I found a lump underneath my skin, just near the base of my vagina but slightly off to the side, it was hard and painful. They tried to tell me it was a Sebacious Cyst but in the end, it wasn't. When it didn't go away, I ahd them cut it out... thought all was well, my doctor stitched me up and i was good go and extremely relieved. Once the stitches healed and disintegrated, i noticed a bubble start forming on the scar... it was clear, and had a number of about 8 tiny red dots with a larger red dot in the middle. It would constantly leak clear fluid at all times, and occasional become inflamed and then burst out with a brown milky substance.
Worried, I went back to my doctor, and was scheduled to go see a general surgeon who diagnosed it as an Anal Fistula. They "cauterized" it on the inside, and cut about a 6 inch line along the inside of my thigh cutting out this strange location COMPLETELy and about half an inch deep into the flesh to get rid of any infected tissues.
During the healing process of 6 weeks, it kept leaking a very foul, embarassing odor that can't be described. IT would CONSTANTLY leak the brown fluid that came out before. Once it healed up, finally, that SAME bubble came back in the SAME spot
I went back to the surgeon and he calimed it was over granulation of the tissue and burnt it off with Silver NItrate, which didn't help as I also have issues healing and the scab didn't take and just caused me to bleed profusely later that night causing an emergency room trip due to the ammount of blood that was coming out.
now here I sit, with the previous two surgery scars fully healed except this annoying bubble that still oozes and leaks the same as it has, i'm frustrated, it's taken a huge impact on my relationship as i refuse to have intercourse while it's there as it's INCREDIBLY painful.
Roughly around a year ago as well I had a pap done and they claimed to find bacteria growing on my cervix, i was tested and came back with a clean record so it wasn't an STI.
i'm fed up with getting yanked around by the doctors as they don't seem to be pinpointing what's going on and frankly i don't want my vagina cut open anymore for 'test theories'
Has anyone else had experience with any kind of cyst like this in that area?
Is it possible that due to the bacterial growth noticed on my cervix that i MAY Have an ovarian cyst that has... gone off on it's own in that area and that could be causing the issues?
IF anyone has ever encountered something like this, or might have any advice as to what it may be so that I can take the information to my doctors and have them check it out further, I would be greatly appreciated.
This has been a nuisance in my life and I am coming to the health boards now pleading for help figuring out this issue.
Thank you so much for reading

....and are known for the foul odour..but fissures do the same thing..just think about it..these are tears from your digestive tract that make there way to your outside....the bacteria..and excrement..are not rose smelling...so yeah it would be foul smelling...since your still healing, the healing process can have a foul smell also..so all these scenerios can cause your side effects...if still in doubt don't hesitate to hound your doctor..since this is your body and your health!
Good luck with it all
