i had a bartholin cyst removed 6 days ago. I am still having severe sharp pain like needles poking me, I have gone back to the doctor and he can't find anything that would be causing this. Could it possibly be a suture that is tight? any ideas

Hi there! Sutures are actually foreign bodies, so yes, they could cause irritation id tissue response. This is not an infection just the tissues response.
How long has it been since the sutures were placed? The longer you have them, the more chances for the suture reaction. Of course, the reaction has to do with both size and material sutures are made of. Do you know what material the sutures were made. Apparently, synthetic sutures are less reactive than the natural ones.
How old are you? There are also other factors that could contribute to this reactivity like advanced age, and especially surgeon’s inexperience.
In case the sutures became too tight, they could cause pain and even the swelling and should be loosened up, so that the wound could heal.
However, only a surgeon can estimate if the sutures are the cause to your discomfort.

I read your comments and had my marsulpalization operation 6 days ago too. I was thinking the same thing about the stitches and the pain I am experiencing but I think it's just being stitched in a really sensitive place. Let's face it, its one of the most sensitive places to have foreign things like stiches and the incision is not small nor what they took out. At least out of me - it was huge. I'm 36 and fingers crossed all will be OK. I've had other surgery before but this one takes the cake for being painful afterwards. I just have to trust my gynae and I hope it will be OK. I'm worried about how big the drainage hole is going to be - I mean its quite big, she said it would shrink over time - I hope this is the case. I was worried with the pain since until today I still had a weird discharge following the operation. Thankfully today it is gone.

In all honesty, the only thing that worked for me is to have the gland removed. I had the marsulpalization and unfortunately this procedure did NOT work. There was a blood clot, and my vaginal area was swole up like a tennis ball.... I had the marsulpalization on Wednesday, and the removal exactly one week and one day later.... marsulpalization DOES NOT WORK. (for me anyway). I was in more pain with this procedure than I was with the actual cyst. Is anyone aware of any side effects with the removal?

Hi. Did you ever have the surgery for the removal of the gland? I did 5 weeks ago and just returned back to work. However, it has been a tough road and many times feels like a burning pain that won't seem to go away. The doc examined and said it's healing fine but I am having a time of it! Any input appreciated.

hi i just had a bartholin excision a week ago. and let me tell you that was soooo painful i could not walk loss so much blood like 400cc. they put alot of stiches in me so they could control the bleeding. i went back to gyno and she said that she think that i may have an infection i'm taking two different types of antibotics. and so far it's working. i'm not in pain to much but the stiches are falling out to soon. so my gyno told me once all is clear in another week i will go back to operating room to get stiched back up again so i won't have a hole down there and clean it up. tell you the results later when that time comes.

I think its causing you pain because it will do! there maynot be anything behind the extra pain just the fact somethings been cut out of you.

My Bartholon's cyst marsupialization was almost two years ago and i still experience pain. Is it common for th incision site to still be sensitive this long after surgery? I am currently doing beach patrol on a four wheeler, and after two weeks of this work the area is extremely irritated. Is this common?

I had a marsipulization done about a year ago on my bartholins cyst, they drained the cyst and then stitched it up. A year later the cyst came back and for the second time I had it drained, but this time the did not stitch it back up they left the wound open for everything to drain on its own. This unfortunately did not work as my wound closed after two days and the cyst grew the size of a golf ball again. So for the third time I went to the emergency room and this time they not only put me to sleep but they cut it open and and once they drained it put a Catheder in there, this is supposed to stay in there for 2-4 weeks. This is probabely the most painful experience through out this cyst journey. If anyone else has had this done and knows exactly how to cope with this catheter inside Please advise.
Thank you in advance

Hi. This is my second time dealing with the catheter (the first one fell out the same night it was put in). I've had this one in for about a week now. In all honesty, there is no comfortable way to cope with the catheter inside. The first couple of days are rough and painkillers help. Sitz baths a couple of times a day also help (I'm afraid sitting down in a bathtub will be too painful). Sitting on a pillow while driving helps me out a lot. I'm on my feet all day at work so walking was a problem for me. I have to do everything at a slower pace now so I won't be in too much pain. My main problem is just keeping the area clean. Every time something would rub against the part of the catheter that stays out, it would hurt sooooo bad. But it gets better as time goes by. I have heard that some doctors tuck the piece that remains out inside of the vagina so that my be an option for you. Yes, there is going to be stinging from time to time (from moving around, etc...) but it will only be temporary and go away soon (in my case). Wearing panty liners also help with any drainage from the cyst. I hope this helps!!!

Hi everybody, I had my bartholin gland cyst removed today( sept 20). This makes the 4th cyst I have had in the past 2 1/2 years and it never gets any better. My doctor knows I am a big chicken about needles, so she really had a time with me today trying to get me to relax. I'm sorry but who can relax with a needle going down there and them removing something the size of a golf ball or larger when you are awake for the whole thing. The pain is so bad and it takes me at least a week to recover and begin walking like a person and not a duck. My doctor says as soon as I get some insurance I have to get both my glands removed or I will have these things coming up for the rest of my life and who wants that? So if anybody out there has had their glands removed please post how long your down time was and the pain factor and cost of this out of pocket. Thanks for listening to me grip about my pain.

I had a recurring bartholin cyst for a year. I had it drained over and over again. I then came to realize that I can never get rid of this thing without surgery. So I decided to get it excised, which they say is the ultimate solution. It was a painful procedure. I was very bruised and swollen after the surgery. I waited for it to heal for at least two months. When my doctor said i could have sex, I was really happy. Then, after having sex only twice, there it is back again! I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out!!! I don't want to go through that pain again! They said excision would take care of it for good but it's back again!!! Please, has anyone had the same problem? A recurring cyst after excision!?? Is that impossible? Is this my doctor's fault?? I'm really confused!
