Bartholin Cyst?

Question

Hey ladies! I recently started having some massive pain and swelling on my labia. Come to find out, I have a Bartholin cyst that is super infected and so swollen I can't even wear jeans. The doctor gave me pain pills and antibiotics, but the pain pills are making me super super sick. I can't get into see my gyno and have the proper procedure done until I get paid- over a week from now. Anyone know any remedies to soothe the pain to help me hold out until I have my procedure done ?

This is my first post so if I didn't do it right please ignore lol

Answer

I have suffered from recurring Bartholin cysts for 4 years now and endured it all—the lancings, the ward catheters, the works.

I wish I had thought to scour the internet before ever getting lanced because once I did I discovered a self treatment that actually works and saved me from the marsupialization surgery doctors suggest.

GOOGLE AND DOWNLOAD "Bartholin Cyst Miracle Method" by Janet Freeland. You won't regret it!

Now, I don't follow it to the letter (though I should), but since began using this guide the number of cysts I experience per year is down 50% and when one does develop I am able to get it to drain much faster—down from over a week to two days! And that was just with applying a hot water bottle, tea tree oil, and witch hazel—I didn't have access to a bath at the time. If I were more diligent I might suffer even less.

The shorthand guide:

Take as many minimum 15-20 min hot, shallow baths with tea tree oil, lavender oil, Himalayan salt (epsom in a pinch though I prefer H), and baking soda as you can.

When not in the tub, apply a hot water bottle to the area with a compress or towel soaked in tea tree, witch hazel, and chamomile.

At minimum use tea tree oil! It does irritate the skin so I like to mix with witch hazel but I've found the irritation and drying is what helps get the sucker to pop and drain faster so it's worth it!

You have nothing to lose in trying this safe, organic method. Highly recommend you do!

Above all else, know YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

P.S. doctors don't really know why these cysts happen but for me they seem to be connected to stress and condoms—specifically due to friction, I believe. So when using condoms be sure to keep well lubricated! After sex, wash up ASAP and wipe down with tea tree and witch hazel to sanitize. Ideally, take the above bath after sex as a preventative measure.

Answer

This works wonders. 😬 I get them often. If you have bacon. Yes bacon... You can lay it on the area and it will draw it out. Weird I know. But my grandmother swears by it and it works!

Answer

I suffered with mine for years. Mine would get inflamed and infected and I'd have to have it lanced by my gyno. Kept coming back. Eventually had to have surgery to have the whole gland removed. I wouldn't wish it on anyone! Please if you are suffering, get to the dr. They can get very infected and make you very very sick.

Answer

I waited too long and it actually made me quiet sick cause of the infection I fainted walking into the hospital and threw up everywhere so don't leave it too long! Good luck X

Answer

How did you go?

Answer

Go to the hospital honey, I had the same thing... They will put you under and probably do a procedure called marsupulisation... It's common in females don't stress too much

Answer

I kept getting them. They poked me with needles to drain it. The second time it popped in a zits bath and I had to squeeze everything out. The third time they knicked it with a scalpel. If it occurs more than that surgery might be offered.
