Hi Chelle, Could what Lea is describing possible be a clogged bartholin gland? Or what my doctor years ago called a bartholin gland cyst? I had the one side puff up many years ago and it scared me to death. The doctor said one of my bartholin glands, that lubricates the virginal area, was clogged and not draining. He opened it and it would clog up again. After trying this several time he said the gland had to be removed. It would get so big I could feel it rub on a chair when I sat down!. So I had it surgically removed and of course it was NOT cancer. No problem with the gland on the other side. I don't know how that problem would be treated now. I can't remember all of the details but I thought this might be a possibility.
