8. Treatment Options
Bartholin's cysts can sometimes resolve on their own from a very small initial stage of minimal swelling. However, if they become larger, tender and especially if they become infected enough to turn into abscesses, treatment is essential.
Treatment usually consists of a doctor making a small incision into the cyst and inserting a catheter that allows it to drain until it dissipates. This is accompanied by antibiotic therapy in many cases.1‘Bartholin’s Gland Cyst: Causes & Treatment,’ Familydoctor.org Staff. https://familydoctor.org/condition/bartholins-gland-cyst/
