Bartholin cyst: Asymptomatic swelling of the labia due to a cyst is uaually "asymptomatic" even with intercourse.

Question 2

good day,

i wanted to ask if is there any medication out there in the market that can cure a bartholin cyst? ive had one for about 5 years now. itll sometimes drain on its own but it always becomes big again after sex which is very frustrating

Accepted Answer

Bartholin cyst: Warm Sitz baths for 10 min regularly can help keep the duct open and allow the cyst to drain on its own before it becomes a problem. Worst case you may need to see an OBGYN doc to open the cyst and sew the edges open - called marsupialization.

Question 3

how to cure bartholin cyst?

Accepted Answer

I &amp; D or removal: You can have a GYN MD do an incision and drainage but it may return, or you can have the MD remove the cyst entirely.

Question 4

i have had a diagnosis of a bartholin cyst. i had it lanced about 9 months ago. at the time the doctor who lanced it said she didnt manage to get all of it because it went too deep.  i had antibiotics and was sent home.  it never went away and i've been s

Accepted Answer

Infected?: A Bartholin gland is usually "lanced" when it's infected.  This treats the infection, but the gland stays in place, and in these cases there is a very high chance of the gland enlarging and becoming bothersome again (not necessarily infected).  The best time to completely remove an enlarged Bartholin gland is when it is not infected, so you may try for a more complete excision at this point.

Question 5

i tried to pop a bartholin cyst with a needle at home. my entire left lip is swollen. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: See a doctor - immediately if having fever or sweating, within next 24 hrs if symptoms confined to labia alone. Potentially quite serious depending upon how advanced it is

Question 6

is there an over-the-counter treatment for bartholin's abscess or cyst?

Accepted Answer

No: The treatment can depend on one or more of these factors: the size of the cyst, how painful it is, if it is infected, and the patient's age. In some cases, a small cyst can simply be observed over time to see if it grows. In other cases, the doctor can perform a minor procedure in the office, in which a small tube is inserted into the cyst]and inflated to keep it in place.

Question 7

when should i seek treatment for a bartholin's cyst?

Accepted Answer

Pain / discomfort: When it becomes symptomatic ( that is if it becomes an infected abcess) or if you are over age 40.

Question 8

i have a bartholin's cyst with new and sudden onset on node involvement. treatment? this is my second cyst in less than 2 years. the node involvement is significantly more painful than the cyst. i am afebrille right now. i lost my insurance so i am hoping

Accepted Answer

If : If your lymph nodes are involved then you will need antibiotic treatment. In additon, depending on the cyst, it may need to be incised and drained with the insertion of a special catheter. Since you do not have insurance, i recommend you find a free or low cost clinic in your area. Your local county hospital should have a list of resources or even a clinic on site that can help.
All the best.

Question 9

is it normal for a teenage girl to get a bartholin's gland cyst?  and, what should i do for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin's cyst: They can happen to any woman. Treatment is usually unnecessary. Occasionally they can become infected, or need to be drained. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bartholin-cyst/basics/definition/con-20026333

Question 10

does a bartholin's cyst have to be infected before any treatment  will be done and will an uninflected cyst rupture on its own? thanks

Accepted Answer

No !!!: If u have a Bartholin's cyst it can be drained or marsupilzed before it gets infected so see your gyn or go to the er.
