How do you treat a Bartholin's cyst?

Dr Sarah Jarvis MBE A collection of pus, confirmed as a Bartholin's abscess, will almost always need treatment, as it can be very painful. However, if an abscess is left for long enough it is likely to burst and then may resolve without treatment. This is not recommended though, as it will be very painful and you could become quite ill.
