How to Pop a Bartholin Cyst Yourself?
Bartholin Cyst Home Treatment
. Soaking in a few inches of warm water — either in a tub or sitz bath — four times a day for a few days may resolve even an infected Bartholin cyst.
. Taking over-the-counter painkillers, such as naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), acetaminophen (Tylenol), or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), may help with discomfort.
When to see your doctor
Make an appointment to see your doctor about a painful lump in your vagina if:
. The vaginal pain is severe.
. You have a fever higher than 100℉.
. Three days of home care — such as soaking — does not improve the condition.
. You are over 40 years old or postmenopausal. In this case, your doctor might recommend a biopsy to check on the possibility, although rare, of cancer.
Your doctor might refer you to a gynecologist.

i have one and stafted to have really bad pain when walking, sitting or when trying to get up off the bed or couch. This is day three for my 2nd one this yr it’s draining slowly but am trying to will it to pop on it’s own. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to just use a sterile needle to get it to pop? I have been soaking in spitz baths 2xs a day since Sunday. I have started yesterday to apply a mixture of acv and tea tree oil after i use the restroom, then today I started applying witch hazel as well and have been having alot of throbbing where the cyst is and a bit of draining today.
I had a cyst that was slightly infected, and I tried to puncture it with a sterilized needle, but it made it worse- the bacteria that was previously more contained was ‘set free’ and the infection got far worse. I went to the doctor, and she put me on antibiotics right away, plus told me to take sitz baths every 3 hours. The antibiotics started working in less than a day.
Based on the pain you’re having, it sounds like antibiotics would make sense. If those don’t work, the next step is surgically draining.
I just recovered from one . Used sitz bath twice a day and antibiotics, painkillers also it took 3 days to rupture on its own and that gave a huge relief instantly ☺️ . (It was painful like hell in those 3 days )but sitz bath makes it easier !
thank you for informing us dear priya. for more information you can review Bartholin cyst surgery recovery as well.
I have a reoccurring cyst. I can see it not infected and I doubt that it was from an std as the first time it happened it was right after having my twins .and now I have not been sexually active for over a year. What else can cause it. N could it be that my doctor closed the opening after the first time. It is small thank God but I know it’s there . how can I drain it n avoid it getting infected. Your response would be very appreciated . thank you.
I get them around 1 or 2 times a year, always after sex when there wasn’t enough lubrication, (one of my ducts don’t work correctly) probably why… but I think it’s the friction against the duct that blocks mine. Hope this helps

I have had a cyst on my labia for 3 days, I’m m taking Motrin and I was using a heating pad down there to speed up the healing process. It ruptured today but stings so much any time I use the washroom, is there anything I can do to make this heal quicker?
hello You may need care in the hospital if you have severe symptoms from a ruptured cyst. You may be given IV (intravenous) pain medicines through a needle inserted into your vein. You may need to have fluids or blood replaced due to internal bleeding. In rare cases, a ruptured ovarian cyst may need surgery.
