A member asked:

I believe i have a bartholomew cyst. i just noticed it yesterday and it hurts a little bit ?

Warm compresses: You likely mean Bartholin’s cyst (on female labia). Warm compresses for 10 minutes several times a day can help decrease pain & inflammation. It may need to be incised/opened if doesn’t improve , or your Dr may consider calling in antibiotics if you cannot be seen till after lockdown

Bartholin's cyst ?'s: Bartholin's cysts produce mucinous lubrication, and can become infected. See your gyn physician for an exam and potential drainage of the cyst if swollen and painful.
