Brief Answer:
please send a picture.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The surgery which is done to drain the bartholin's abscess is called MARSUPIALISATION of the cyst where the cyst wall is opened to exterior and this is covered with antibiotics. You have been rightly advised sitz baths and this usually takes 15 days post operation to heal completely.
If the pain is still present then you must get it evaluated again for any recurrence of infection.
you may send a picture of the lesion to understand the stage of healing.
