Bartholin Cyst

Has anyone every had to deal with a bartholin cyst? I’ve had one over 4 years ago which was so painful. I could t sit or stand or walk. I had it drained in the office which then I had to go to the hospital and do it again. Now I have it again. It is not painful like the first time was. I just know how painful it is to have drained what else can I do to save myself a trip to the Gyno or ER to have it drained?
