    If it bursts that's a great thing! Keep doing your warm baths, wet warm compresses. Get u some witch hazel to keep it open!. And grab u a mirror sit on the floor spread them legs and work the infection out. Don't squeeze, but push down n up to get the infection to come out the duct.

    U have to get it all out. It may Come back. But the more puss/blood u get out the better.

    Don't be afraid. Your are not alone just another thing us women have to go through. Don't stress your self n just check on it weekly to make sure it doesn't close or get infected again.

    Hey there,

    It burst which I'm sure was both relief and messy!! You need to go in to see your gynecologist. Get the antibiotics and keep soaking to keep it clean.

    If it fills up again, they will have to cut it open again and put a drain in. Needless to say, your boyfriend will be keeping you company but any sexual activity is out.

    I've had my drain for a week and while the pain of the cyst is gone- the pain of the drain was terrible. Plus every time I peed it burned like razor blades. I'm on my second round of antibiotics. If this doesn't work then I'm in for a marsupialization.

    Best of luck you girl!

    It always comes back. I suffered with recurring cysts for 3 years or so. Had em drained and lanced every now and then. I didn't want to live with those things all my life. The Dr. Told me the removal of the gland is the only permanent solutions to get this things out. I had it done a yr ago and no more absecess since then.
