HOME REMEDY FOR BARTHOLIN'S ABSCESS THAT WORKS!
Posted , 162 users are following.
Hello ladies, I am writing to share my story with you and my amazing home remedy that actually works! After nearly three years of suffering from these horrible, nasty, painful monsters, I finally found a cure.
I had my first abcsess at 25, it was excrutiating pain and went to the size of a tennis ball. I tried all the advice on the internet (sitz baths, hot compresses etc), none of these worked and I eventually had the marsupilaziton surgery (which for some people, is a permanent cure). It was uncomfortable and I was in hospital for around 10 days.
My second one came up around 6 months later, again extremely painful. I was admitted into hospital for surgery again but fortunately, it decided to burst itself in the night whilst in the hospital. I was discharged the next morning and was pain free.
A few months later, another one decides to pay a visit. So as usual, I go to hospital, which by this time, the gynae doctors are familiar with me. The doctor examines me and says it is not as big as the first two and that if I want, I can have it drained there and then. Obviously, this would mean that I would be awake throughout the procedure but also that it will be a quick fix and can go home the same day. I choose to have this and with a bit of numbing cream and squeezing of my moms hand, the abcsess is drained.
This procedure is painful, but NO WHERE NEAR AS PAINFUL AS HAVING THE ABSCESS! When you are desperate, you will do anything to make it go!
A year and a half passes by (present time) and my 4th one arrives. I went to the hospital within hours of feeling that familiar pain. it was not as large as it had been but I wanted to nip it in the bud asap before it got to that size and that horrendous level. The doctors turned me away twice over two days and said that they cannot do anything as it still isnt big enough to operate on.
Absolutely distressed, in pain and physically drained, I went home, where me and my mom frantically googled other peoples home remedy ideas, desperate to find a cure. We kept coming across a remedy involving,tumeric powder, coconut oil, baking soda and sea salt.
First, I mixed tumeric powder with the cocunut oil, to make a paste. This bought all the puss to the surface of the abscess, making it almost triple in size and the skin layer very thin, almost ready to pop. i left it on for approxamatley 2 hours. it does get very painful and uncomfortable but u can see that it it is ready to burst. A few painkiller kept the pain tolerable. Once it looks ike it is about to burst, mix the baking soda and salt in some water and dab on with a coton pad. I left the cotton pad there, held in pace with my underwear and sanitary towel.
Baking soda and salt are supposed to burn the skin. So when the skin is very thin, it shouldnt take much for it to tare which will lead to the abcess draining.
i left the cotton pad in place for twenty minutes and realised the pain of the abscess jad dissappeared. When I checked, it had burst! the pain relief is instant and you feel almost back to normal.
I am now writing this less than 12 hours later and I feel great. There is very little pain (only to touch) and hardly any swelling. The abscess is draining itself. I have been having warm baths to keep the area clean and speed up draining but overall Im feeling happy and relieved.
Please try this as it really does work! Be patient and brave no matter how hard it gets, and believe me, I know it gets hard! If u think about it, this is a logical remedy- the tumeric (an anti-oxidant) makes all the puss come to the surface, making the skin thin and the baking soda and salt (an acidic formula) burns the thin layer of skin making a hole for the abscesss to drain.
Good luck ladies! You can do it xxx

Hey guys,
This is my first time on a forum. And I just came across this board about an hour ago, because I have been in pain all day from my BC (diagnosis in December 2013) so like many of you have mentioned the horrors things comes back from time to time, it can disappear for months and suddenly out the blue pop up and cause havoc. Usually mine just pops on it's, either while I am walking or I just have to give it a little pop. However, today is another story - it appear yesterday and it's currently still with me as we speak. I went to the Ambulatory women's day unit this morning but he told me there's not much he can do, and as much I was disappointed I was relieved because I had it lanced once and yes agreed the most unpleasant experience.
Anyway the whole day I have be sqarting, pinching, poking, soaking in baths - while crying at the same time because of the pain and the uncomfortable feeling of it's presents. I came across this and I again like most of you on here, have nothing to lose. I made the turmeric paste and have popped myself into bed and I am hoping for a miracle. I just want it to pop! It's the most horrible thing but it is the most relieving thing EVER!
I feel with you all that suffer with this. It's not nice and incredible uncomfortable, I am only 26 and it effects how/want to get intimate because it is painful and it's not nice. I hope this does work because I would much rather do it this way then have to surgically get it removed with knowing that it could come back again.
Wish me luck and I hope it does burst sometime soon!

This is my 4th bartholin abscess in the last year and I'm on my 4th day since the cyst has become noticeably sensitive. I come to this home remedy treatment everytime I get an abscess, but I can never get myself to do the baking soda and salt for more than 3 minutes because I can't stand the sting. It usually takes me some time for my abscesses to burst on its own after I apply the turmeric and coconut oil. I just went out this morning to buy coconut oil and applied it a couple hours ago and applied the baking soda and salt for 3 minutes just hoping that it's going to help it burst AND NEVER COME BACK.
Seriously, this is ridiculous. I can't go to a professional because I don't have insurance and I don't think it's worth paying out of pocket when apparently the doctors' suggestions are: 1. Wait it out and take a sitz bath 2. Lance it/Surgery (which i read is worse than the abscess itself). Literally, it's 2017 nearing 2018 and they still haven't found a sure answer of what causes this or what we can do to prevent this. WHAT THE HELL. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GROWING EGG SIZED ABSCESS FEELS LIKE ON YOUR PRIVATE DOES NOT MEAN THIS IS A MEDICAL CONDITION YOU CAN PUT ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LIST WHERE YOU TELL YOUR PATIENT WITH A PAINFUL GROWING TESTICLE-LIKE ABSCESS/CYST TO GO HOME OR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LANCE IT, WHICH IS MORE PAINFUL, WHEN THERE ARE STILL CHANCES IT'LL REOCCUR.
I'm furious and tired of this affecting my life.

Hi Nicole - I can understand your frustration. I had a terrible abscess in August - and did the remedy, and I still has not fully healed from the initial issue. When I first had it happen it was so awful and painful, that I think it caused a lot of trauma to my labia, and even though it ruptured on its own (it had grown to the the size of a large egg), I think parts of the infection didn't quite clear out. Now I think what is happening is that lingering parts of the original infection are still flaring up. Instead of resting afterwards, I started having sex again within a few days, and i think this has contributed to it not fully healing.
I feel that the original swelling opened up 'pockets' in tissue in my labia around the area and that 'tunnels' connect these pockets to the Bartholin's gland. When I get turned on, the glad creates fluid, and then if i have sex, or sit in positions that are constrictive, I feel like it pushes fluid through these unhealed tunnels into a pocket (more near where the first abscess actually ruptured). It has filled up about 6 times since the original abscess, and also at times I have felt like it disappeared. I have had to lance it on my own, in areas where it seems to fill with fluid again and come to the surface, almost like a boil or something similar. There are places on it where the skin seems very thin, and I can lance right through it almost pain free. The lances I have are large gauge (almost like thick and sharp metal toothpicks, they are about 3x thicker than a toothpick and very pointy and sharp at the edges). This seems to open things up enough to drain the fluid out, which now for me has become a clear to yellowish-clear fluid. This might not be an option for you, but it isn't as bad as it sounds.
I have been trying to figure out what is causing it to keep happening again - and I think I haven't allowed enough time without sex for it to heal. It makes sense - that I the gland keeps making more fluid whenever I get turned on, and that until these tunnels have time (without fluid in them) so they can heal up, that they just stay open. I also think that perhaps some potential for infection exists and that is causing it as well. I have noticed that it gets worse if i have a lot of coffee, don't sleep much, or have a lot of stress. This to me says, that the body is trying to heal, but has a more difficult time under certain conditions. I have tried to not stress, stay calm, take baths, keep the area clean, cut back on sex and coffeee, eliminate oral sex (easier risk or infection), and also to be patient with myself. I have also been drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per day, and taking turmeric internally (up to 500mg a day) which has been helping with keeping my body alkaline and healing inflammation.
I sincerely hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the remedy and the forum. I had a very painful cyst that was the size of a large egg for about a week. I took baths, tried different herbal remedies, and took antibiotic type herbs to help with the infection. Nothing would make it rupture. The pain was unbearable. I did the turmeric paste and baking soda on day 5 nothing happened, and then again the next evening.
Just a note to help other ladies trying this. I did the baking soda, but left it on for about 45 minutes, thinking that more time would be better. It burned my skin fairly badly, which didn't very much but looked like a large blood blister. I would recommend only putting the baking soda blend on for a short time to avoid burning the skin. After the 2nd night in bed, it ruptured in the morning, along the line of the baking soda burn area. I was still very glad that it opened up, and the pain relief was instant. Within a few hours and taking a bath in salt water to help get anything else out of it, it was almost like it had never happened.

Currently dealing with my first BC. Though I have Recurring Pilonidal Cyst and cysts that have formed due to ingrown hairs, this is the first BC and I must say, the devil couldn't have dreamt up a more horrendous area to be afflicted with an abscess. I'm currently on phase 2 (salt and baking soda) and I'm praying this works.
A lump showed up (seemingly overnight) about 6 days ago and has grown in size and pain. Now it's about the size of a grape maybe a tad larger. Went to urgent care on Day 3 and they couldn't do anything for me other than prescribe lidocaine to help numb the area slightly. Considering today is Christmas, it's a horrible time to be bedridden. Praying for some relief and will report back, given this remedy works 😩 Though I am hopeful for the first time in the last few days thanks to this thread

Just an update: It's been 48 hours since I tried the turmeric+coco oil/ baking soda+salt TWICE and NOTHING has happened except more pain. So disappointed and in unimaginable amounts of pain. So although a lot of women have found this helpful, don't put all your eggs in this basket.

I had gotten the abscess twice before and this is my third one. Both were so painful that I had to go to the ER. The second one was the worst. My entire pelvic area hurt. I tried turmeric, tea tree oil etc. It only grew so big, but didn’t burst. So I went to the ER to lance it. and it came back after 2weeks. Thanks a lot again.

Hi from Florida! I'm dealing with what is my third really painful one now.
The first one was drained at the doctors - she basically just sat there and squeezed until it popped then gave me antibiotics. OW!
The second I popped myself for free. Also OW! But we soldier on.
This time, I haven't the time to go to a doctor, and it's so painful I almost can't bear to touch it. I tried the turmeric and coconut and all it seemed to do was make everything down there yellow for two days.
Anyway, just for you girls who can't have the thing fixed quickly, I wanted to tell you. My mom handed me a bottle of arnica oil. I swabbed some on with a cotton ball and in the time it took to mix the baking soda and salt to try now, the pain was gone!! Hope this helps you guys for temporary relief!!
