bartholin cyst -- burst only drained a little

Omg!! Witch hazel is for bruises, not for wounds that have been open!!

I've just had my 4th one last December, I'm getting rather used to these now unfortunately, just glad they didn't happen in my youth.

I've realised that this herbal stuff Is all useless...just Epsom salts help ro draw the pus out, and putting some on a little pad at night, dissolved, over it.

AS SOON AS YOU NOTICE ANY LUMP, GET YER SELF TO YER DOC OR HOSPITAL, FOR ANTIOCJ TO GET THE B***H PUS COAGULATING SO AS TO POP ON IT'S OWN. .....this is all I've learnt, oh, and u get fast tracked at gospi t al if returning within six months, yes, two b***h cysts I had last year.......Draining is useless too, it just refills.

I've also decided that God is a virginal female, and this is the way to get back at active females! Gotta laff at this extreme pain really ladies!!

So.....These things reaccure once you have one, sorry.

The herbal route is useless, if i hits worked for you, it's just pure luck.

Epsom salt helps these go draw pus into a harder mass.

Antibiotics do as above, therefore the two together equals natural pop, prob in bed, so towel under your sheet and fat period knickers on ladies!

Ignore men who you know have big appendages, now they are even more useless and painful.

And if you can't avoid a big dick, use plenty of water based lube!!!

I would also add that also trip to the gum clinic is advised, as you are likely to get thrush, and or b.v as your poor lady garden has been battered! Gum clinics In England do not charge for the medication, and give it to you there and then, your doc will give you also prescription that will c e 9 quid fo each thing written on it.

Really hope this helps to ladies!

Oh...im also considering giving up interiors! ! Haha hahahahaha! ! X xxxx

Witch hazel is never suggested by a dentist wither.;-)

What happened to yours outta interest? X

I just got my first one at age 28. I noticed when it was pea sized. I realized discomfort in the area when I was putting a tampon in (of all the times to get it, it was during shark week. Ugh) I did a bunch of research to determine first, what it was, second how bad it was, and third what to do about it. By the next day it was the size of a marble and hurting a lot more. I started putting turmeric/coconut oil paste on it. I did that and kept the area very very clean. Every time I went to the bathroom I would wash the area and reapply the paste. I think that helped a lot! Along with that I took very warm sitz baths with 2 cups of Epsom salt and massaged the lump to try and coax the blockage out. I did this for 3 days.

Without it growing anymore, it popped. Thankfully it came out where the tube is, so hopefully it is mostly unclogged. Honestly, I didn't even feel it pop. I noticed it was a bit wet down there and went to check on things and there was brownish/redish stuff on my underwear (period stuff unrelated at this point).

I immediately prepared a sitz bath because it wasn't completely drained and I couldn't get the rest out. So I sat in the bath for about 10-15 mins and gently massaged the lump like I had been doing. I was able to get more and more and more out without it hurting. It got to the point where no more would come out, and the water was cool. There's still a small lump there, smaller than a pea. And that's where I'm at right now.

My plan is to keep a warm damp towel down there to keep it from closing too much. Then in a little while I'll take another sitz bath with 2 cups Epsom salt to get the rest out and continue that process as needed. It no longer hurts which is a plus!! It's a little tender, but that's it!

The only thing I decided not to do, that many others did with this remedy, is the 2nd part with the baking soda and salt after applying the turmeric/coconut oil paste. The reason I didn't to this is because it never developed a head. I didn't want to do any unnecessary harm just because others found success. My way was a bit longer, but I think because of it, made it to where it didn't get bigger and was able to get rid of the blockage and drain out of the tube (at least that's what I'm hoping.lol.)

I hope that in an hour or so, when I take another sitz bath, I'll be able to get the rest out. :D

My question is if it bursts and heals up, there would still be the problem of the blocked duct so the cyst/abscess would come back no? So do i still need the masupialization after a rupture?? Is that even possible?

I can’t find any information on this. If anyone has any ideas...

Thank you!!

I've have my first Bartholin's Cyst I'm 18 I only had it for 3 or 4 days it was a size of a golf ball literally, I was scared and searching what the hell I had and came apond this website where women told their story made me less scared but I heard that itll come back in 6 months or a year which is even more scary so yeah I had Bartholin's Cyst and just about last night it popped on its own right now I can still feel the lump and it burns I do feel less pain, I can walk but can't sit like I want too. I don't have money for those "siz bath" nor have money for any kind of products you guys use to heal it. I've been using  hot rag not taking baths like that, so I'm asking exactly how long did it take you to heal? And did you still had the little lump there? 

I am in absolute agony with it and have had it for nearly 2weeks. It is absolutely huge. I went to out of hours at the hospital where the doctor confirmed it was a cyst and gave me two different types of antibiopics, I’ve been taking them for about 4 days. However it is still extremely painful and I feel like it has been feeling like it has slightly reduced and then just returned to that same size I’ve been going for warm baths along with the antibiotics when I can but I still have to attend work which makes it impossible to go for a number of baths. I’m wondering if anyone has any advise or anyone else has had antibiotics for it before it burst and if this is normal? Also I’ve read nearly every comment on this and a lot of people are saying that when the cyst has ruptured it isn’t clearing up is that the case for everyone.

I’m ready to have a breakdown. Worst experience of my life
