My bartholin cyst keeps coming back every month or two, especially around my period, and gets as big as a peanut with a lot of pain. I've seen two doctors, but it goes away and then comes back within weeks. Is there any way to prevent it from recurring without surgery?

While a completely guaranteed non-surgical solution to prevent Bartholin cyst recurrence is difficult to find, several strategies can help manage recurring cysts and reduce the likelihood of future episodes. These include focusing on good hygiene, potentially using sitz baths, and, if needed, discussing drainage procedures with your doctor

I'm a 32-year-old married woman who had an ovarian cyst removed 5 years ago along with my left ovary, so now only my right ovary is left. Recently my doctor suggested an MRI pelvis and S.AMH test my S.AMH result was 2.33, and the current ovarian cyst size is 4.5x4.3 cm. Is this cyst really dangerous enough to require surgery, or can it be treated with medicines? I'm really worried and need advice

With an ovarian cyst of 4.5 cm, if it‚Äôs benign, medications like birth control pills or hormone therapy can sometimes manage it. Surgery may be necessary if it causes pain or grows. The S.AMH level of 2.33 suggests ovarian reserve is still reasonable, but discuss options with your gynecologist.

Lately, I've been noticing some light bleeding about 10 days before my period is supposed to start. This has never happened to me before, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Could there be something unusual going on with my cycle, or is this pretty common? Would love to hear your thoughts.
