Bartholins sodding cyst/abcess - any advice/experience out there?

[NappiesGalore]

had two op's to fix this prob - about um, 10 years ago now (i think) but currently have a recurrence. hurts like hell sometimes, annoying the rest of the time.

saw doc today and got antibot's so im sure it'll be ok soon enough, but i wondered; does anyone know about these things? is there anything i can do to actually stop it happeneing again? why didnt the 'marsupialisation's work? and why is my sodding sex life cursed? think i'll just be celibate from now on

oh, i had one of these about 7 years ago. i had the op too, & no probs since (including 2 vaginal births). sorry, not much help, but i remember how horribly painful it was. maybe you need a gynae referral from your gp if the antibiotics don't work. hope you get better soon.

thanks hoxton.

i spose it worked well enough for about a decade, and have had 3 vaginal births in that time also, so shouldnt grumble.

think i will seek some more in-depth care/advice whether the antibots work or not.

bugger it all, baby has just woken so cant stay to monitor for more answers...grrrr.

never mind. will check in the morn. ho hum.
