Surgery: may be needed for a Bartholin's cyst that keeps returning. Visit your OB/Gyn for evaluation. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Marsupialization: Simple I&D (incision & drainage) allows contents to come out, temporarily relieving pain from pressure. However, opening may close up allowing contents to build up again. Marsupialization is a means to keep the incision/opening open. Check out http://www.atlasofpelvicsurgery.com/1VulvaandIntroitus/3bartholinsglandcyst/chap1sec3.html.

Surgery: If this has been drained repeatedly and keeps coming back, you need it surgically removed.
