Bartholin Marsupialization recovery

I am a fit and healthy 26 year old female and I am 7 days post op for my Bartholin Marsuplialization. The cyst was originally the size of a marble and didn't bother me, but it grew overnight into a painful golf ball sized lump, I went to the emergency room and had the marsupialization done under general a few hours later. I have noticed an increase in the drainage over the last 24 hours, but my sex drive has also returned in the last 24 hours. Has anyone noticed anything similar? I've been doing the sitz baths and using hot and cold compress (which ever feel more comfortable at the time) to manage the pain. I've been taking vitamin C, zinc and magnesium. Does anyone have any tips to make the recovery shorter? Honey? Certain dressings? Diet? I am very keen to have sex again!
