i can’t remember when it started, i could have had it for years, all i know, it was very uncomfortable. i finally showed it to my doctor who sent me to a urologist at first they wanted to operate, but one doctor said he could drain it. it was a 15 minute procedure where they stuck a drain in,no anesthetic was needed,and i walked out of there feeling great! he said 40-60% of the time it doesn’t come back.
