Be checked: Some women do get Bartholin's cysts on both sides. Best thing is to be seen. It is usually simple to drain. If the cysts keep recurring or develop abscesses, sometimes an operation is needed to sew them open. It's outpatient and is called marsupilization. Just follow up with your GYN. Good luck!

Bartholin cyst: Bartholin glands are presnt on both sides. Sitz baths can help. A permanent fix will require removal of the gland.

I had my bartholin gland cyst drained and they left a 6 mm long cut that is not closing, its edges are healing around it. Im afraid it will stay open like that, leaving a 6mm hole at the side of my vulva. It's been 7 days since the procedure. ?
