Hello,

You may need to make sure you do not have a sexually transmitted infection favoring the infection of Bartholin's glands.
If you have an STD both you and your partner/s should be treated with antibiotics at the same time and sexual intercourse avoided during treatment.

If there is no STD present then the only treatment for recurrent Bartholinitis is surgery with marsupialization which means stitching the sides of the capsule of the cyst so it does not close and forms again.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
