Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

If a Bartholins' abscess drains on its own, and you complete the antibiotics and feel better, it means the area is fully healed and that there is no more pus inside and the infection is gone. So you may resume trying to conceive as you wish.

However, Bartholin's cysts tend to come back. If you start to notice swelling in the area or discomfort, immediately begin daily warm baths or application of hot compresses twice a day. This can frequently help the swelling to go down and prevent the formation of an abscess.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question and that this information was helpful.

Best wishes, Dr. Brown
