Aditya Smith, a 32-year-old non-binary graphic...
Aditya Smith, a 32-year-old non-binary graphic designer who uses he/him pronouns, had been experiencing recurrent, painful swelling on the left side of his vulva for over a year. Initially dismissed as simple cysts, the episodes became more frequent and debilitating, causing sharp pain when sitting, walking, or during intimacy with his partner. After the third acute abscess in 10 months, his GP referred him to a gynaecologist. The specialist explained that the Bartholin's gland duct was chronically blocked and recommended a definitive excision to prevent future infections, as marsupialization (a less invasive drainage procedure) had already failed twice. Aditya felt anxious about surgery in such an intimate area and worried about scarring and sensation. The procedure under general anaesthesia went smoothly. Recovery involved a week of significant tenderness and careful hygiene, but within three weeks, he was pain-free. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and embarrassment about the recurring issue to immense relief and regained confidence in his body, no longer living in fear of the next painful flare-up.
