If it is painful it can be an indication of bartholin's abscess. You will need course of antibiotics and painkillers. If you are getting recurrent infection, it is better to get the bartholin cyst removed

my mom has had painful periods for 34 years and now doctors are recommending ovary removal surgery but I'm really scared about the operation - is this the only option or are there other treatments we can try first

Chronic painful periods may indicate endometriosis or fibroids; ovary removal is a last resort after trying hormonal and medical therapy options.
