Brief Answer:
marsupialization is required

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Bortholin's cyst itself does not cause a miscarriage. Since you are having a recurrent cyst only draining the cyst will not help you now.
A surgical procedure known as marsupialization is required to stop further recurrences. This can be done under local anaesthesia by your gynecologist. It is a small procedure and no indoor admission is required.
If the cyst is not infected right now and you can wait till 12 weeks of pregnancy then it is best to get it surgically corrected in the second trimester as the antibiotics needed will not harm the baby at that time.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Not worrisome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If yellow or green colored discharge is associated with bad odor, or if it is clumpy or cheese like with itching, discomfort, rash or sores along with a vaginal discharge then it is worrisome. If you happen to notice any of the above mentioned symptoms, seek instant medical help.
A painless and odorless mild discharge is a healthy discharge of vagina due to the influence of hormones on the vaginal mucosa.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Can be a fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
mild itchy discharge can be due to a vaginal fungal infection. You can use a vaginal pessary like Gyno Daktarin or Candid once a day for a week. Please follow the instructions on the package carefully.
It is also important to keep your private parts scrupulously clean. Trimming your pubic hair, not using any soap to wash your vagina and keeping the area clean and dry will help.
