Obstetrics - Bartholin cyst only swells at certain points (ie. arousal). How am I supposed to get an accurate exam?:Health care

What is "Obstetrics " ?

---

Obstetrics is the field of study concentrated on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. As a medical specialty, obstetrics is combined with gynecology under the discipline known as obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), which is a surgical field.

My experience over Obstetrics "Bartholin cyst only swells at certain points (ie. arousal). How am I supposed to get an accurate exam?"

Hi, I think (?) I have a Bartholin cyst on the left side of my vaginal introitus. I have NSFW photos posted if you’re interested in looking.

I finally worked up the nerve to see my gynecologist about it and my appointment is in a few weeks.

My concern is that the cyst increases in size only at certain times as it’s not abscessed. I notice and increase in size during/after arousal, exercise, and when tight clothes irritate it.

With this being said, how do I ensure I get an accurate exam? Should I bring photos?

Thank you in advance!
