Hi, I'm 19 years old and I've had 6 bartholin gland cysts. I've had every procedure done to get rid of them (catheter, silve nitrate, marsurpulizaton, excision), and they keep coming back. Two months ago I had an excision of the gland surgery performed, but the cyst had burst a few days before the surgery so the surgery was unsuccessful. I now have another cyst and it's the most painful it's ever been and I saw a doctor and they gave me antibiotics because they don't want to drain it because the tissue is too sensitive from the surgery still. I was wondering if you knew anything I could do at home to either make it pop on it's own faster or even relieve the pain? I can barely even walk.
