I have a bartholins cyst. I have been to the Dr who tells me they are very common, nothing to be concerned about and best left alone as the area could quickly become infected if I tried to squeeze it.

It doesn't hurt and now I know it's nothing dangerous to me or anyone else the only thing I'm worried about is being with someone and they freak out and get the wrong idea of what it is.

Any advice would be appreciated. Any ladies here have or had 1? Do they go away on their own? Are they as off putting as I am afraid they are?

My daughter has had them, she used to have them drained but they always returned. She had something called "marsupialisation" where they make a new tube and opening and has no more problems.

Warm compresses can help drain them after a few days. Just be careful not to irritate it or it can get very painful

Thankyou I'll give the hot compress a go. It's worth a try
