Hello friend ...
Welcome to HealthCare Magic

I read your concern and your symptoms of recurrent cyst formation on bartholin gland can be associated with unprotected sexual activities which blocks the gland and can give rise to painful recurrent bartholin cyst.

Do not be worried ... NSAIDS and Antibiotics will prevent infection and abscess and maintain good hygiene to prevent reoccurence.
Consult Gynecologist and describe your symptoms and they will cup open cyst and drains fluids to minimise chance of formation of cyst again in future .

You can ask me if you have furthur queries..
Regards
