Can we talk: Bartholin Cyst

I got this thing drained, but then it came back & my doctor decided to stitch it... which was very painful. I can deal with pain no problem. .. but THE SMELL🤢 it's unbearable. I dnt have any sti/stds or anything like that. My doctor reassured me that it was from the drainage. But golly.... help. I don't want to leave my house! Any tips?
