My bartholin cysts keep coming back and they're so painful, sometimes they even burst on their own. Can you explain all the treatment options like marsupialization or surgery, and what actually works best long-term?

For recurring and painful Bartholin cysts that burst on their own, several treatment options exist, with marsupialization and surgery being common choices. Marsupialization, a surgical procedure, creates a permanent opening in the cyst, allowing fluid to drain freely, while other surgical options can include simple incision and drainage or, in more complex cases, removal of the Bartholin gland. While marsupialization can offer long-term relief for some, others may find that the cysts return, and surgical removal may be the best option for long-term resolution. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs and medical history.
