Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a reoccurring bartholin cyst... I ve been through this about ten times. They all end differently. I think I m bleeding from the incision they first made the first time, but I m not sure how to make it drain because I can t apply any pressure. Is there anything I can do to make it leak out easier? I m at the point where it s giving me a burning sensation where I m unable to sit lay or even stand.... plz help. I ve been to the er too many times and I don t exactly have health insurance. Since I ve been through this so many times I know that the last day before it ruptures is the worst day of pain but I just need it to stop. I m on my 4th day, it usually ruptures on its own. Not to mention I haven t been able to have a bowel movement in almost 3 days because I m scared of the pressure and it s excruciating pain!
Hi, Thanks for your question.I understand that you are in great trouble.You need to go to the doctor to have a pus culture and sensitivity,so that the correct antibiotic course would be given.Also they would excise the cyst wall completely.Just draining it will cause recurrence.If the cyst wall is excised,then there will be no recurrence.You need higher antibiotics also.check your sugars too.You have not mentioned your age.You can take a pain killer for time being.Get well soon.regards
