Bartholin cysts can be painful, frightening, and difficult to discuss. These cysts form when one of the Bartholin glands near the vaginal opening becomes blocked and fluid builds up. A small cyst may feel like a painless lump, but if it becomes inflamed or infected, it can turn into a very painful Bartholin abscess.
Earth Clinic readers have shared natural remedies for Bartholin cysts for many years, including castor oil, witch hazel, tea tree oil, turmeric and coconut oil, Epsom salt sitz baths, apple cider vinegar, vitamin E, PRID drawing salve, ichthammol ointment, and warm compresses.
