How Long Does A Bartholin S Cyst Take To Drain?
How long does it take for a bartholin cyst that is abscesses to drain, mine started drawing today but it seems like a slow leak, my doctor says to try and open it more but that s pretty painful. But I don t want it to stop draining. I thought when it burst there would be slot of liquid but not so far just slow drain

Normally if the cyst is infected, it may break open and start to heal on its own after 3 to 4 days. But if the cyst is painful, you should visit your doctor he may drain it. You may also need to take antibiotics to treat the infection.As its already draining in your case but slow u can wait for 2 days but if it closes then you should visit the doctor to comlete evacuation of cyst
