i have had bartholin cyst now for 5 years since i was 17 it started just from having sex then i had a huge lump the next morning andit grew to the size of a baseball literelly in hours i went to emergency room and they said it was an ingrown hair or i was sticking foreign objects in my vagina?!?!?!? i was so pissed so they lanced it and sent me home. by time i got home i was in soooo much pain i was screaming begging for my parents to call me an ambulance. i went back and the did not cut the right spot so i had to be cut 3 more times! and was admitted into the hospital for over a week because the infection was soo bad. then i found out i was pregnant and got them twice a month it was soooooo painful nothing i have ever experienced worst pain in the WORLD. I would not let them lance it anymore i refused so they called my obgyn and had him come to the emergency room and set up surgery and since i was pregnant the did a spinal tap so i wouldnt be put to sleep. I had a Marsupialization which did not work. then i had them on and on after i had my son i had another marsupialization which failed again. then they tried a word catheter which caused so much pain i could not move a muscle and as i crawled to the bathroom to pee in tears it fell out! another failed attempt! now i have had one for almost 6 months which is the size of a grape its not abcessed its just there it hurts durring sex and sitting but its manageable. my doctors keep telling me they refuse to do the removal of gland because it is hard to find its a blood bath and it will cause long term pain and scarring!! seeking some sort of freedom from this terrible c**p!!! I am out of hope!

Have you had anything done yet? I have had the same sort of issues as you, but your's seem a bit more dramatic. I have had 4 word catheters and 1 marsupialization that did not work.
You should go to another doctor to get your glad removed asap! I know how terrible they are and to live with that everyday must be absolutely unbearable.
I would suggest using a condom or whatever method you choose to not have your partner finish inside of you. For me, it seems that sperm is the catalyst.
I would also recommend immediately taking a shower or bath(without any soaps or oils) for about 20 minutes after sex.
I get one every time I have sex, but making sure my partner doesn't finish inside me and taking at least 3 baths for twenty minutes a day--until the swelling is gone--really helps to keep the cyst from getting infected.
I wish you luck and I hope that you will see another gyn A WOMAN! because they are usually more sympathetic because they understand our issues, men don't!!!!
