What to do if i have a bartholin's cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incision and drainag: If the gland is infected and inflamed, the pus in the cyst can be drained using a procedure called incision and drainage. A small stabbing incision is made and a tiny catheter is inserted to keep the gland draining for a few days and have the infection cool off, before the catheter is removed.
