Suggest Remedy For Large Painful Cyst
Hi, I have a very large cyst, possibly a bartholin cyst or similar, doctor wan't sure. It is a very painful, a doctor prescribed anti biotics for the infection but I feel it is getting worse and I now have also got my period which is not due. Would this have caused my period? Is there anything else I can do to cure this? Thanks

Hello
Bartholin cyst if small in size, and not infected usually heal on its own. Presuming you are taking antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor, the cyst should not cause you any concern. Keep the area clean and dry, if the cyst opens then you could probably apply antibiotic ointment. If the swelling increases or becomes more painful or if there is pus discharge, do consult your doctor.
Cyst has no influence on the menstrual cycle.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
