If you suspect an infection do you run to the doctor, treat at home, or wait a day or two to see a change?

I'm a very nervous person who is too in tune with my body. I feel and am aware of every little thing like exactly the muscle I pulled or if I get a small cyst once in a while... As a teen I would get an infection once in a while and it would go away quickly on its own. I didn't realize it was even an infection until I got older. Now I go to the gyno 2-3x a year with worries of an issue. I believe I got a cyst last month, but nothing so big I was in pain or discomfort so I let it go and last night it felt like leaking and I was very afraid it would burst which my gyno told me is rare and only an issue of they are 4 cm. Sorry for the rambling. Just please vote on the poll normally and if you have any advice I would be glad to hear it. I've balanced my hormones naturally with a lot of homeopathic remedies, but if I get lazy I get the cyst, and I get an infection maybe once a year.
