for the 3rd time😭

So sorry that you're going through this for the third time. Have you tried bathing it in a shallow hot bath? If it's a cyst and not infected I know that this can help to loosen the blockage and can help the cyst to drain on it's own - it's never worked for me as mine have always been infected and turned to abscesses that required draining. I know surgery sounds horrible and painful, but I've had mine drained twice now and although it's unpleasant, you get instant relief! Unfortunately mine have kept reocurring but I've heard of loads of women who have had surgery and it has worked for them - sometimes it may be the only way. I'd try the hot baths first though, there's also herbal remedies you can try such as taking silica tablets - I've heard these can help prevent the cysts from forming, it doesn't appear to have worked for me but I've never had a cyst, they just go straight to being infected. Hope you get sorted! xx

It is all very confusing, there's not much on the internet about the condition. If it's a cyst that means it's a build up of fluid and not infected, they're usually soft to touch and not very painful, and just uncomfortable. If it's an abscess it'll be hot and painful to touch and very painful. If it's infected my doctor said it will always need to be drained because the puss won't clear up on it's own, if it's a cyst then home remedies may work, but not always. I have heard of people putting teatree oil in their sitz baths and it's worked for them, but I've never tried it myself - worth a try though because if anything it'll help to keep it clean. I bought silica tablets from an online highstreet holistic health shop (where are you from? I'm in the UK), but have never tried serrapeptase.
