Warm Sitz baths provide soothing relief and can help drain smaller cysts. Soak in warm water for 15-20 minutes, several times daily.
A healthcare provider can perform a simple incision and drainage procedure in their office. This quickly relieves pain and discomfort. Local anesthesia is typically used.
For recurring cysts, a Word catheter may be inserted. This small tube allows for drainage and prevents the cyst from reforming. The catheter is typically removed after a few weeks.
Marsupialization is a surgical procedure where a portion of the cyst wall is removed and the remaining edges are sutured to the vaginal wall, creating a permanent opening. This prevents future cyst formation.
Always consult your doctor to discuss which treatment option is best suited for your individual needs and circumstances. They can assess the cyst’s size and your overall health to recommend the most appropriate approach.
