My wife had a cyst swell the last coupl eof days. It is red locally and warm to touch. She is feeling run down and the lump is very sore.We went by a local Primecare on Saturday and they gave her antibiotics and schedule sonogram for tomorrow. What can this be? Infection?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your wives situation and problem. In my opinion she is having endometriosis. Since she is having this swelling associated with menstrual cycle, possibility of hormonal etiology is more. Endometriosis is disease of hormone system causing symptoms only during menstrual time. So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance and endometriosis. She may need hormone therapy.
