How Can A Bartholin S Cyst Be Cured Completely During 34 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

I’ve had an infected bartholin cyst for going on 3-4 weeks now. I’m 34 weeks pregnant. My OB tried to drain it twice and prescribed 2 different kinds of antibiotics. The first antibiotic didn’t work and they changed it after taking a culture. This shrunk the BC but only slightly. They then attempted a word catheter. It fell out less than a day later. My OB suggested waiting until about 6-8 weeks post delivery to have a marsupialization. I would prefer to avoid that especially after giving birth and opting for another lengthy recovery process. I’ve recently looked into serrapeptase (how much to take, how often?) and silica sprays. But since I’m in my third trimester, I’m cautious of anything out of the norm. However, I am at my wits end and I just want it out. Also-I drain it as much as I can almost everyday but it will stop draining and never complete the draining process. It smells awful and it usually green and/or mixed with blood. Please help me find a solution
