I was so thankful for the brave women that have contributed to this subject and shed so much light on how to self-manage this awful cyst. I read every post and wrote them all down and based on what I had on hand I ended up taking Mucinex D and drinking a lot of water, also started the Antibiotic the doctor ordered although she told me my cyst was really large and really deep with no visible cause or opening. Doctor scheduled me to see GYN next week for surgical procedure. By next day was certain I would have to go to ER due to bowel obstruction. Just as I was seriously scared and praying I massaged this giant lump while soaking and it moved out leaving a much smaller less painful bulge. I am certain that the great improvement in getting the cyst to move was the Mucinex D. I am now using Vicks between cotton with hot pad to continue removal process. Further, someone mentioned this may be a result of yogurt, which coincidently I had just before the cyst developed.
