A member asked:
I have a vulvar abscess i believe. it hurts when laying down, standing and sitting. i don't want surgery is there another way to make it go away?

That's the best way.: Abscess needs to be drained. It may not be a full fledged surgery and may be with small incision, the abscess will be successfully drained out. Then with antibiotics you will be OK...
