Is The Swelling Normal After Insertion Of The Catheter For Cyst?
Just had a catheter put in this morning for a Bartholin's cyst. I felt relief after the incision, but now, about 5 hours later, it's all swollen again. I have surgery scheduled to remove the cyst in three days. Is this swelling normal after insertion of the catheter?

Hi! thanks for sharing your recent health problem with us!
After going through your problem and recent treatment history and intervention, I would like to suggest few possibilities in your case as follows:
1. bleeding in the region causing hematoma
2. infection
3. collection again in the cyst cavity
Therefore, this is not normal and you must see your surgeon; he must be knowing the cause and confirm it by examination; this is also easy to treat!
