Is it possible to feel your cyst?

Is it possible to feel your cyst?

I have this lump near my bikini area and my hip.  I can't see it but I can feel it.  It hurts if I press down on it. It feels like the size of a marble.  Could this be a cyst?

I'm not so sure about that.  I had/have cysts and can feel them like that as well. Had a couple removed recently and they were painful if I pressed on them.  The one I have now on the left, the er doc thought it was diverticulitis when he pressed on it b/c it hurt alot with pressure. However, still waiting on more testing for that one. Also, though, we do all get cysts in our regular cycle, and possibly those you can feel as well.  I'm just relaying my experience and it may be worth checking out since you are already here seeking answers. Be well.  CMG3

it could be fatty tissues, your lymph nodes, ingrown hair (but probably not that because you said on your hip too)  boil, or cyst.

I think they are just cysts. i have one on my thigh between my legs (tmi, i know) and in my groin -bikini line area.  The ones in the grown used to hurt more when i was younger.  

I never had any problems, but if you are worried i would see your doctor anyways,  Whenever you are unsure go.

how can you have diverculosis in the groin area?

I believe the cyst is a little on the large side (as seen on the CT in the ER), but not too big (3.5cm) so any pressure from the groin where the cyst would be up to the abdomen is tender.  I also have fibroids and adenomyosis. I don't know what you're referring to when you say you have a cyst on your thigh. My husband has skin cysts all over as well - is this what you mean? Mine is definitely on the ovary. Be well....
