I've had a bartholin cyst for 2 years now and really want to avoid surgery can it be treated with just medication? What options do I have for non-surgical treatment?

Yes, it's possible to treat a Bartholin cyst without surgery. Mild cases often respond well to home remedies like sitz baths, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relief. In some cases, antibiotics or a drainage catheter may be needed for infected or recurring cysts

I'm a bit worried about my wife's cervical length being 26mm at 12 weeks into her pregnancy. Could you tell me what it might be like around 16 weeks? If she's taking progesterone supplements like Susten 200, is there a chance the length could increase?

At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the cervical length is expected to be around 30-35mm. Taking progesterone supplement Susten 200 can help support the pregnancy and may potentially help in maintaining the cervical length. The usual dosage of Susten 200 for supporting pregnancy is 200mg to be taken vaginally once daily.

I'm really concerned because I found out that there's a small, clear cyst on my cervix, and it's 9.66cm in length. I'm worried if this is a Nabothian cyst and if its something I should seriously consider surgery for. What should I do, or what kind of treatments are there?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
