Non-infected Bartholin Cyst

hi everyone, i'm so glad we have access to forums like these.

I've had a bartholin cyst on both sides for the whole of April. It started on my left side beginning of March but it was so small and would disappear every few days. But now its a walnut sized hard lump on my left side and a grape sized softer lump on my right side. Both not painful, not infected. I've tried everything from sitz baths with a ton of Epsom salt and tea tree oil, witch hazel and tea tree oil on a pad left overnight on the cysts, turmeric shots, silicea, silica 30c, even contemplated poking them with a needle! (i didnt in the end). But i've tried so many different things. Even looked into Ayurvedic medicine and changed my diet but no improvement.

Does anyone have any advice/experience of reducing a cyst that hasn't abcessed and isn't infected?

Appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

      Hi, sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar thing. I tried to take a picture but the problem is the cysts are deep rather than on the surface so because of where they're positioned its difficult to see.

      Are yours more on the outer area? Have you had any luck in getting rid of it, even slightly?

      I don't what is it. I went to see a Dr she said it's not a bartholin cyst I don't know what is it then. I'm posting my lump picture here please let me know if you can see anything. I stretched my vag lips and checked if there was cyst inside but no there wasn't anything inside except some white chunks. image

      Oh yes I saw this on the previous post. Mine does not look like that. I've had a bartholin cyst abcess last year but i think it normally has a rounder shape than yours. Like the others suggested, I would also recommend seeing a doctor who can refer you to the right specialist.

      Hope you find some answers soon.

    It is definitely helpful having these forums, especially when its so hard to find a good dr sometimes!

    i think i have two cysts which formed after an infection down there. they are hard to see/feel when lying down, but are there when i sit up.

    i have tried diet etc too but no luck
