i had an infected bartolin cyst 2 years ago. i just got a cyst come back. it isn't infected. what they did before and this time was. i went into my ob doctor's office they numbed the area and cut a hole and drained the cyst then put in a tube to help keep it draining. i was able to take the tube out after 3 weeks. i am only in the first week of this time though. my doctor said if it comes back i can go back and we will go in the hospital and have the whole cyst taken out and scar tissue sewn to make a larger mermenent hole.
