Timecodes:
hi everyone it's kathy welcome back to
my channel i've been holding off on this
video because at first i was feeling
very embarrassed and ashamed of like
this barthold insist happening to me
there's so many assumptions that one can
make of me
because of this sister whatever it is
happening to me
so that's why i felt very ashamed but i
realized that
i'm none of those assumptions like
they're just assumptions and women's
health
is so much more complicated and there's
a lot of women that need support
so that's why i made this video because
i want to help women out there like me
that are like suffering from this
problem and to know that like you're not
alone you know
you did nothing wrong for this to happen
to you because
it's just crazy so the background story
behind it back in december
of 2020 i started feeling like this
stinging
pain when i would wipe down there and
like i didn't really know what it was or
like you know i didn't inspect it
you know so i didn't even feel like i
needed to go to the doctor either
because i'm like they're gonna give me
medication i don't want medication i'm
just gonna deal with it whatever
i carried on with my life going to the
gym you know doing my normal things and
i felt like a little bump hmm wonder
what this bump is still not going to go
to the doctor so i still didn't go
i just dealt with it two weeks went by
it was getting a little bigger but i'm
like you know what
it's okay we're fine i'm still going to
the gym like life hasn't changed for me
three weeks in with this thing it
started hurting significantly like i was
literally walking like this
i couldn't go to the gym i was like i've
had it i can't go to the gym i can't
walk and it hurts for me to sleep i need
to like fold up a blanket and put it in
between my legs because it hurt that
much to sleep like i couldn't close my
legs properly
and i couldn't even wipe properly
anymore i literally had to like pat
to wipe it was really bad i tried this
this is really funny i tried this
turmeric a coconut oil paste that i read
online someone tried any work for them
so i was like okay i'm going to try it i
tried it
not a good idea do not do that it's just
it's messy you know
you wake up with stains yellow stains
down there on your skin
not worth it so then that same day i was
like i'm just gonna go to the doctor i'm
gonna go to the doctor
i don't care if i have tumeric stains
all over i'm just gonna go it was a
weekend it was a saturday for some
reason that clinic like even if you make
an appointment there's no point in
making an appointment because it's just
first come first serve so i don't even
know why they offer appointments so i
walked in 10 30 a.m
excruciating pain i can't sit properly i
have to like sit to the side and stuff
like that
yeah i couldn't i could barely walk i
had to take a cab there
it was it was really bad and i was
really pissed off because
i knew i was gonna have to wait like
i've been to that clinic before yeah
two hours in i'm still waiting they
still haven't checked for my vitals i'm
like
oh my god okay whatever by 2 30 p.m
i've kind of had it so i went to the
receptionist and i'm like hey i'm in
pain
i'm in a lot of pain i need help like
right now and she's like
i'm like okay finally that
me complaining kind of helped them move
faster because i went to get my vitals
checked
then two hours later 4 30 comes along
and i finally see the doctor and i'm
like praise the lord like thank god
violence is a doctor and she's like oh
you have a cyst
it's an abscess now though and i'm like
oh okay
okay i just need help whatever it is
just please help me and then she starts
asking me she's like
do you eat sugary foods i'm like no
she's like do you use
any scented feminine products i'm like
no do you wax or shave often and i'm
like not really
like you know not that much she's like
do you use like scented douching
products i'm like no
i don't do that and it's funny because
like two years ago i used to do
all of that stuff it wouldn't make sense
for that's happened to me two years ago
like i would eat more sugary
um foods cheese danishes like so many
other things
and also i was so stressed back then
when i was doing all that other stuff
i'm like
it would have totally made sense for
this to happen to me back then
so i was telling her no no no like i
don't do any of that stuff she's like oh
okay i'm like yeah so she couldn't tell
me the reason this happened to me
which is even more frustrating because
it's kind of like i have this thing
that don't know how it happened don't
know why i have it you know what i mean
like when you can't find a reason for
certain things happening to you you just
feel even more lost
and then the doctor is like oh i'm gonna
get a meal doctor to come
and confirm that it's an abscess the
dude comes in
i'm like you know what i'm in pain i'm
not even embarrassed because it's
probably like the 100th
thing he's seen you know what i mean so
like whatever
this dude freaking squeezes it and i'm
like ow
and then the doctor is like she's in
pain you know what i'm like yeah
it hurts so annoying so annoying
whatever though all the doctor told me
was you know get some steam give it some
heat she did not prepare me properly and
i feel a little upset that you know
there wasn't enough preparation given to
me because i kind of had to figure
everything out myself
and no one prepared me for the pain
i would go through that night i i swear
like it was
crazy and she also did not tell me that
it was a barthold and says
all she said was it was a cyst that's
now an abscess i'm like okay
didn't even give her the name i figured
out was a bartholomes by you know google
and youtube
so later on that night i can't take it
anymore like
i just start bawling out crying because
the pain is so bad i literally cannot do
anything i can't walk anywhere like
i just can't do anything so i'm so i'm
balling my eyes out
you know i've just seen so many videos
of women saying they got surgery
they got their bartholin glad removed
and when you do that
you basically take away the gland that
makes that makes down their moist like
crazy i was so sad i'm like my life is
over
i'm never gonna be able to have a proper
job anymore because i have this thing
that's gonna happen
five times in a row like these women
were saying some women say they
they get it like all the time like it
never goes away so i really thought my
life was over
you know yeah i really did
i'm like i'm never gonna be able to go
to the gym i'm never gonna be able to
ride i'm never gonna be able to do
anything that i enjoy anymore
because of this thing like okay i
googled what the bath is the sitz bath
is what it's called
i ended up using some bucket i had
whatever boiling the water
so i do about two sitz baths and after
that it just popped
and i'm telling you i felt immediate
relief that same night i order a proper
stitch bath
and then i order print this little thing
here i ordered it because it's a
draining solve
so you know you put that down there and
it's supposed to help the
abscess drain better so you know pain is
gone
feeling great i'm so happy now i'm like
okay cool
well let's figure out how this thing can
ever come back
a week later
it comes back then i got so sad again i
honestly questioning my whole life again
but i did do the sitz bath
and it really helped so much like at
first it gets really swollen
but then it goes down and it feels so
much better and
i kept asking around other women like
have you gone through this have you gone
through this and my aunt says she does
get it
and um she gets it like every year but
she like pops it herself with a needle
which is
insane i don't know how she does that
but i was that i definitely did not do
that
i was like i'm not doing that like
that's crazy i started really
researching like okay what can i really
do
for this not to come back again and then
i thought back to the tumeric paste i
was like okay turmeric
why are they using turmeric so then i
started reading that turmeric is an
anti-inflammatory
so i started taking turmeric and i'm
telling you
this thing has not come back for about
for about two months already and i am so
happy like turmeric has really saved my
life like
i'd be getting this thing again and
again and again and again
this is the one i take this one here
it's
gnc brand so i was taking one and then
i felt the stinging pain so i had a
feeling it was coming back so then i
started taking two
even better honestly like it really
helps me so much and i'm gonna take this
for the rest of my life
because i know it's never gonna come
back if i keep taking tumeric
you really want to make sure the
turmeric you get has pepper
in it so the active ingredient in
turmeric is curcumin
and your body has a difficult time
absorbing it but paired with pepperon
it's like magic so so really make sure
the turmeric you're getting has prepared
in it because it's gonna work
a million times better for you and to
know that you are not alone there's so
many women that
go through this and do not speak of it
because it's such a like
it's kind of like looked down upon for
some reason you know having this problem
that
you don't even know why it happened so
don't feel ashamed
seek help do your research i'm so happy
that i was looking into this because the
doctors didn't tell me about taking
tumeric or
doing all these other things sometimes
you really have to take your health into
your own hands
and and they told me to go back and do a
checkup with them but i didn't because
i'm like
i literally spent six hours in that
clinic that day that's a literal shift
i'm not i'm not gonna go back to that
clinic
i mean i'll go back for other reasons
but like for
this i'm not gonna go back like i think
so far i have it under control i'll make
another video
if it pops up again but i kind of doubt
it at this point
but you know let's pray it doesn't
happen again
i also changed a few other things that
were going on so
before i used to train without any
underwear on i know a lot of women do
this too like
it's just more comfortable not wearing
the underwear like you can move easier
but if you really think about it
sometimes you sit on the floor and you
know you're using all the machines in
the gym you're sitting on those machines
and
no matter how squat proof no matter how
thick your leggings are
they're still pretty thin it's kind of
like not wearing an underwear with jeans
on it's like
i mean i don't i don't do that i don't
know that
but i've heard some people do that so i
started wearing underwear now and i feel
like that really helps me like i just
feel
cleaner that way like knowing that i had
that extra protective barrier to help me
from bacteria
i also take frequent showers so i take
about two to three showers in the day
and i notice if i don't shower it gets
really irritated down there so
make sure you're taking frequent showers
and i also started
putting my bar soap in its own separate
container so i put my bar soap in this
container and i do
not share my soap with anybody like i'm
really trying to prevent
any bacteria from reaching anywhere you
know what i mean i've also been trying
to really look into my diet like what
processed foods am i eating
and although i do eat a mainly
vegetarian diet
like i really had to take a deep dive
into what i was eating i was really
shocked that it could be diet but you
know i was like whatever i'm gonna be
open-minded about this you know i don't
know why this happens
i'm just gonna do like as much research
and be as as
open-minded as i can possibly be to get
the help that i need
the main processed food that i would eat
like all the time was white rice
white rice is so refined and so
processed i would eat it every day
probably like twice a day so i started
cutting back on that
and rice can cause inflammation you know
it's a processed refined food
white bread ciabatta bread my favorite
can cause inflammation so i've been
really trying to cut back on all that
stuff even though i really do love it
but you know
for the sake of my pain for the sake of
living a better life i've been trying to
cut back on it and i really don't know
if all these things are the root cause
of the bartholin cyst but you know
there's no real reason
for the bartholin cysts like there's no
research that shows
this is the cause no one can say no one
knows why
the bartholomes even happens the doctors
can't explain it to me
no one knows why and in women's health
like it's such a like mysterious thing
like there's not a lot of research on
anything and like
it's really frustrating you know because
you'll be like why me
you know why women but
we can't think like that we can't think
like that this is preventable
we're gonna take care of this like you
know we figure it out together i know a
lot of women suffer in silence about
this
and um i didn't even want to tell
anybody that i had this because i did
feel really ashamed but
i really just want to help other women
know that you're not alone
you're not dirty you're not gross don't
let anyone judge you for this
it's something that happens no one knows
why
you know it's not your fault it's kind
of like a similar thing with utis
there's
so many reasons why you could probably
get a uti it's really frustrating so you
know
take a deep breath you're going to get
over this you're not alone
so many women don't speak of this
because of
the backlash they'll get i hope you will
