Brief Answer:
Bartholin's cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This seems to be a bartholin's cyst. Bartholin's cyst is a fluid filled in bartholin gland which are present in both sides of vagina.

This can be removed with a minor surgical procedure.

See your gynecologist for the surgery.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
