HOME REMEDY FOR BARTHOLIN'S ABSCESS THAT WORKS!

Hi.. I am in my periods.. can i still try this? how to apply the paste? Should it be only on the outer side of libia or on the inner side as well(covering whole of the cyst)?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have never cried tears of joy like I did today! I have never experienced any sort of cyst and i woke up two days ago with a lump on my upper labia near the clitoris about the size of a pea, it didn't hurt so i didnt think much about it. Yesterday it started to get pretty sore and it woke me up in the middle of the night it hurt so much. It had grown to the size of my thumb and was red and angry! I couldn't do anything about it because I had to go to work and run errands all day but when I got home I found this article and got to work. 

I started with a 30 minute soak in the tub to ease the pain and soften the puss inside. Then I made the turmeric coconut oil paste. I also added tea tree oil and witch hazel. I put it on a cotton pad and wedged it against the cyst. It stung pretty bad at first but the tea tree oil began to numb the pain to a dull tingle. After an hour it was very itchy so I removed it. There was a little blood but after squeezing nothing came out so I made another pad of turmeric. After another hour I was in a lot of pain and had to walk to the kitchen doubled over like a sumo wrestler to get the baking soda and salt. I made the solution (1 tsp each in 1/4c warm water) and applied it for about 40 minutes. At this point I was in excruciating pain and still couldnt get anything out of the cyst. I took another hot bath to ease the pressure and after ten minutes (stop reading this paragraph if youre sqeemish at all) I looked down and there was pink puss/blood mixture literally pouring out of the cyst in a stream about a needle thick. I STARTED CRYING TEARS OF JOY IT WAS AMAZING! I pinched what I could out while I was in the bath but there is still some left draining.

With the cyst mostly drained I'm now applying antibiotic cream on a cotton pad and letting it drain the rest of the way. I plan on continuing this with sitz baths for the next week or so to ensure that it's all healed.

I cannot thank you enough for helping me get out of that awful pain! <3

Have a bc in my left side since I was 14. Now I am 19 and the cyst has reappeared 6 times. (it was abscess each time and was painful. In December 2017 had cyst in right side for the first time. It was small and painless. Now it reappeared and is very painful I can't walk tomorrow gonna see a gyn (when it was in left side I went to see a gyn and she told me to come in the first day it swells as I went around 3-5 days later) now it pains in the right side too

Hello sisters! I have to share my story since this forum and many others like it were so helpful to me. I had my first BC at 34 years and had it for a month. The first two times I went to the OB/GYN and they said to continue the sitz bath and warm compresses. Meanwhile it had grown from pea size to a ping pong ball and I was in excruciating pain everyday. I cried every time I had to move too much. The doctors put me on two rounds of antibiotics - Bactrim and Clindamycin but nothing seemed to help. I went to a a naturopathic doctor who said to alternate between warm and cool stiz baths every 3 minutes. She also put me on homeopathic UNDA drops - 48-245-10. I downloaded the kindle book Bartholin Cyst Miracle Method by Janet Freeland and followed it closely week 2 of of BC. The cyst kept getting bigger, the pain kept getting worse, I became depressed, no longer had an appetite or wanted to see friends. This is truly debilitating in so many ways and i wish there was more information about this. I read 100's of forums and tried them all- mucinex, mag sulfate paste, witch hazel pads, onion/garlic paste....etc. When you are in pain you will try anything!! In my 4th week my OB wanted to drain it in the office since it was causing so much discomfort but I told her to give me another week. Finally yesterday I did acupuncture in the morning to help with my circulation, I took silica and serapeptase, and then in the evening I left the turmeric/coconut oil paste on for 2 hours and then did the water/salt/baking soda paste followed by a sitz bath.....AND FINALLY IT BURST! After a long 4 weeks my excruciating pain was instantly relieved. I recently read a quote by Winston Churchill which said: 'never, ever, ever, ever give up'.  If you can believe it you can achieve it!  I did a lot of deep breathing, listened to chakra root meditations, hypnotherapy on you tube, and prayed hard. I am not sure which particular thing worked the best, but I honestly think they all worked in combination. Thank you for to everyone for giving me hope to keep going. The sisterhood of women is what helped me through this!! 

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to say this honestly really works!! Thank you so much! I've had bartholin's abscesses for the last 10 years now, despite having a balloon catheter, marsupialisation and drainage before. Normally I ride out the pain until it ruptures but saw this post and decided to have a go last night, and this morning the abscess ruptured!

As discussed, I mixed about 1tsp of coconut oil with around 1tsp of turmeric. Put the paste on a cotton wool pad, and wedged it in there so that it covered the whole abscess and left it on for 2 hours. It was a little painful, but as advised by others, it was manageable with ibuprofen and Netflix

After that, I took the pad off and washed off the turmeric in the shower. Had a look, and like all the other posts said, it brought all the pus to a specific point - there was like a raised spot on the abscess which I knew was where it was going to rupture. 

I then put on the soda and salt paste on (added 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp soda with a splash of warm water to make a paste). I applied this again with a cotton pad. BE WARNED - it causes intense burning! I would recommend only putting a small amount on as the burn is unbearable otherwise! The burning does settle down after a while. I left that on for an hour and it hadn't burst yet, so I just went to bed. It was really uncomfortable at night but just took ibuprofen and used a pillow in between my legs for comfort.

Woke up this morning as it was really painful, but I could see it was starting to weep slightly at the bursting point. Applied slight pressure at that point and it all ruptured

Please don't be discouraged if it doesn't work first time round. I've read people had a second go at it and it worked. I would also recommend putting drops of tea tree oil on a cotton pad as that helps with the pain as well and has anti-bacterial properties, but as far as the turmeric-coconut oil-baking soda-salt combo - it really does work! I got my abscess on Friday morning and it was gone by Saturday morning

Hope this encourages people

Hi guys, just wanted to contribute to this story about mine.

I am quite the BC veteran, which is very unfortunate to say the least. I have been struggling with recurrent BC's for more than 10 years now (happens every 1-2 months) and they almost always turn into abscess. I intend to see an OBGYN very soon and get the gland removed or something.

Over the past week I have suffered from 3 consecutive abscesses on my labia minora, twice on the right and once of the left. The latest one was probably the worst I've ever had in FOREVER.

It started out probably 2mm in size and within days, grew into a golf ball. It was so bad the entire lip was swollen and the only way I could walk was like a crab. Even without touching it, it was throbbing like a monster. I tried everything in the books, sitz bath with epsom salt 4 times a day but that didn't help at all. I tried the tumeric for 2 hours and I think it worked because the abscess grew twice in size. Unfortunately the pain did too. I couldn't really find the head of the abscess, sadly. It was just the entire lip swollen.

I couldn't stand more than 2 minutes with the baking soda and salt. Washed it off right after. I then became desperate and tried poking it with a needle. 3 times, didn't work either.

Went to bed at 10pm, woke up at 3am due to the pain. I was on arcoxia but the pressure was just too much. Fortunately when I went to the toilet, it burst on its own. Thank f*****g Jesus for that.

I don't know if this will help anyone, I hope it does. I started taking Optibac's For Women probiotics and I realized that it keeps the abscess at bay or makes it more manageable. It it also very useful for VC's and UTI's. I take them every day. It's the only thing that remotely works for me when it comes to combating BC's. I really, REALLY highly recommend this product.

I also researched and found out that improving your immunity will help prevent BC's.

Fight on ladies! 

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I first got one of these last year when on a trip in Asia with my ex. We didn't know what to do, didn't know if I could go to a hospital, if I could afford it. We bought salt for a bath for me, we tried tea tree oil, hot compresses, the sitz baths, it just keot getting bigger. I was getting scared, it had never happened to me before. The pain was excruciating, and I had to be on a plane for like 18 hours in 2 days, I got desperate and was in so much pain, we bought a sewing needle set at a store, sterilized it, and I popped it. Flash forward to today, a year later. 5 months ago I got one again. But just a small painless one. It lasted 5 months. Well, I got a yeast infection and guess what, the cyst got infected and swelled up. I tried all the stuff like I did before. Sitz bath, epsom salt, tea tree oil, etc. It just kept getting bigger. Finally started coming to head, I saw that small weak area of skin black and bloody looking. I followed this remedy. Left the tumeric on 2 hours, then applied the baking soda paste. I went and sat in my bath tub and held the cotton pad there gently, but a lil pressure.

After only TEN MINUTES, IT BURST!!! FINALLY, RELIEF! 4 sleepless nights, finally I can sleep and eat again (dunno if it's a normal side effect, but last time too, I got sick to my stomach).

Update: Hours later, I'm still feeling so much better. Only a little uncomfortable when I walk with my legs more tight together, but no "pain". I feel almost normal again. I'm so grateful. I even quickly recommended it to a friend of mine who has a bad cyst on her thigh right now and she's currently got the turmeric paste on as I write this.

Thank you so so much for sharing thus remedy. It is a life changer! I am now always keeping these ingredients on hand in my house for when I get one again.

Oh my life, I cannot thank you enough for your recommendations on this site. I have had my first abscess from a BC. I have been in excruciating pain the past two days. The GP gave me anti biotics and ibuprofen and recommended I have it lanced and drained. I contacted my gynae but she was out of town and she agreed perhaps I should try some tea tree oil etc and wait till my menstrual cycle finished before having the surgery with a different gynae. Then I stumbled on this site last night as I couldn’t sleep from the pain . I literally have not been able to walk or sit without waves of throbbing stabbing pain and was getting cold shivers and nausea from it. I attended my daughter’s concert in the morning and scraped through it without crying somehow. So I got home and bough the ingredients around lunch time. I had had an Epsom salt hot bath last night for some pain relief. I mixed the tumeric with coconut oil into a paste , no measuring just a bit of both then applied to the inside of the labia affected. I wasn’t sure where the head of this thing was. Left it on for two hours wearing a sanitary towel. Rinsed. Then applied a similar mixture of salt and baking soda and a bit of water into a cotton pad an inserted this where the tumeric mixture had been for twenty or so minutes. Rinsed. There was some blood discharge but couldn’t tell if this was the start of my period or the abscess leaking. I had another Epsom salt bath. The lump was still there and I tried to gently massage it. Nothing happened. I was so disappointed but I did feel some relief. I reapplied the tumeric mixture for an hour and followed with the baking soda salt mix for about 5-10 mins. Still nothing. I had another Epsom salt bath. I went to have a nap in the afternoon but by then I was back to the excruciating pain. Took some pain meds and antibiotics and had dinner and retired for the night. 12.55 I woke up with a wet sanitary towel and an odd feeling of feeling ok. I got up which was a surprise in itself and walked to the bathroom (hurrah!) to find the sanitary towel blood soaked and vile smelling. I had a shower and changed and I am feeling and walking fine like this never happened. I will continue to have a few more Epsom salt baths and finish the antibiotics course. I CANNOT thank you enough for your advice on this site - this is like many others my first response to something on a forum but I really felt I needed to say thank you. Have a blessed day!!

I am 26 years this year and i'v had to deal with batholin abscess ever since I was 17 years. Every year I get one. Either on the inner lip of the vigina or on the outer lip. They actually take turns each year. I am tired and I am in pain. I am even thinking of ending my relationship with my boyfriend becouse I feel its too much on him. The abuse I get from the gynecologist when I am booked for on at the hospital I do not know whether its becouse it is a government hospital.she makes comments like "these are the results of having unprotected sex, doesnt in it bother you that you been coming here and all the nurses and doctors know that you are having unsafe sex". I just look at her and keep quite becouse I need her help. Maybe it is better in your country but south Africa is worse. I hope this home remedy helps me. I was in hospital last month becouse an abscess but ob the outer lip. Now it is on the inner part and I just dont wanna go to the hospital and go through pain an emotional abuse from the gyn.

Hi lidies, just as I was getting ready to apply my home remedy. I decided to take a shower first. The abscess decided to just burst. I ddnt get the chance to use it. However I know it will come back. Finding this blog is so amazing to me because I thought I was alone. Ladies can you kindly share the causes of batholin abscess. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for sharing this remedy.. it worked for me... Got it for the first time and it was there for 10 days.. last night i tried the turmeric coconut paste, kept for 2 hours followed by half an hour of baking soda+ salt +water application all the process was over till 11pm..i slept and 3am it decided to burst... Can't thank you enough for sharing this... God bless you!

Your post help relieve my pain. I wanted to say thank you. However I'm a large girl so laying still for 2 hours didn't happen. I laid with the paste for 1 hour and after about 2 hours after going pee it rupture. So much relief. Still painful but not as much as when it was full.
