6. Care at Home

Because Bartholin’s gland cysts are not typically serious, they are treatable with simple home remedies. It is important to note that women should never attempt to pop the cysts with tools or fingers as a major infection may develop. Sitz baths can potentially cause the cyst to rupture without outside pressure. A sitz bath is a gentle bath that takes place in a few inches of warm water. Warm compresses may ease some of the discomfort originating from the cyst.
