My body naturally and instinctively “made” it’s own marsupialization which sometimes will heal over but never for long…(sigh). It remains sensitive like a wound.

Tesson, B. & Hildebrand, M. Extensive and intimate association of the cytoskeleton with forming silica in diatoms: control over patterning on the meso- and micro-scale. PLoS ONE 5, e14300 (2010).If, however, infection occurs, the result is an incredibly painful Bartholin’s abscess which may require drainage or surgery to get rid of it.

Yes, silica supplements are safe for most people to take. However, it is not recommended for children, pregnant women or people with kidney disease. 1 Is silica better than biotin?

Besides, I blame myself for imposing that on my boyfriend who has also never had sex until now.

I’m so uncomfortable talking about this but I feel so comfortable talking about my experience on here. Thankfully the ‘twinge’ seems to have gone but I have learned that related health conditions seem to affect what goes on down below in general. We remove it from most of the foods that contain it and avoid many of the fresh fruits and vegetables that are the richest in it. Now, ladies, this may well put you off your cornflakes but I think it needs talking about. If you have ever experienced the misery of Bartholin’s Cysts which then become Bartholin’s abscesses, you will know exactly what I am talking about.Obviously, I am not a doctor and the first course of action, if you suspect that you have a Bartholin’s cyst, is to see your GP.

First of all Linda, thanks for writing about this on your blog, as many others have commented it’s been great to read other women experiences on this. Helps oxygenate the skin: "Silica gives you a glow because it is a strong carrier of oxygen, and it increases the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the skin," Sharkar explains. "It helps red blood cells carry 20 percent more oxygen—and because of that, the skin stays more hydrated as well. Look for your skin to start glowing and for your acne, eczema, or psoriasis to begin to disappear. These would be sure signs that it's working." Formulated to be a true one-a-day food supplement that contains Bamboo extract providing 128mg natural silica, 42mg Hyaluronic Acid, 9mg Zinc (90% NRV), 47mcg Selenium (86% NRV) and 47mcg Biotin (94% NRV). What does Health Leads Advanced Silica Complex do? I pay to see her privately and of course, I appreciate that not everyone has the funds to do this, but for years I have had a Simply Health Cash Plan which allows you to claim for the first couple of sessions on your policy. This is enough to gauge whether you think a women’s health physio will be helpful to you. Hagen, W. J. H., Wan, W. & Briggs, J. A. G. Implementation of a cryo-electron tomography tilt-scheme optimized for high resolution subtomogram averaging. J. Struct. Biol. 197, 191–198 (2017).

Now whilst this may well burst a cyst or abscess (sufferers seem to use the two terms interchangeably), you may still be left with a lump and if your cyst has abscessed and you feel in any way unwell, you should still see a doctor. Find out all about silica, including what it does, the benefits to taking it and how much you might need What is silica and what does it do? In our first two years we went through 12, (that’s right 12), manufacturing partners until we settled upon one that matched our exacting standards and had similar ideas and operating principles of their own. Today we still work with these same manufacturers and others like them, in France, India, the USA, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong, and the U.K. The peak age for getting these delightful swines is between 20-30 and in theory, once you reach menopause the Bartholin’s Glands are supposed to shrink so that you no longer suffer this problem. Great in theory but since I’m 51, rubbish in practice.
