I had a baseball sized Bartholin cyst removed 10 days ago Monday 8/15/16, my Dr said she had to go almost to my pelvic bone to remove it all. I took the first week off work but worked this week. I really didn't have any bleeding/drainage until last Thursday, ever since then it's been draining. I went to the Dr this past Monday (earlier than my post op appt) because my husband thought the stitches were gone and I was worried because the drainage had a yellow color to it. The Dr said the yellow was normal as long as there is now foul odor and that the stitches are still there. It's now Thursday and I'm very sore still, the Dr did give me RX pain pills but I've mainly only taken Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I just looked with a mirror and all I see is the hole but no stitches.... I'm really anxious for the drainage to stop and the hole to close up. I go back to the Dr on Monday for my post op.
