Hello! I’m just asking for some other girls opinions and support, what would you do in my situation etc. This started when I was 18 11/20/25 a bartholin cyst developed and was really uncomfortable, I had it drained the next day, it wasn’t fully drained but it went down a lot and they said it was all they could get out for now but it should go down. They said it was just a cyst not an abscess, only blood came out Fast forward the cyst never fully drained and showed back up again in its original ping pong ball size 12/6/25 so I had it drained again the next day, same thing happened it wasn’t fully drained but they said more would come out later and it didn’t I think within a week it showed up a third time so I scheduled a marcupulization surgery and had that January 7 2026 Immediately after the surgery I STILL felt the cyst it was not gone at all but they gaslit me into thinking that oh it’s just swollen. I’m honestly not sure what they did cause it was the same just hurt and maybe ever so slightly smaller Naturally the cyst returns again in its full size on the 21st I forgot the exact date but then I had a second marcupulization during spring break, this time the cyst was gone but as it healed my labia started splitting and now it healed open. I’m left with this divot that leads to my gland. It’s like I have another vagina and the edges are fully healed so it’s not going to heal back together it’s just stuck as a hole with edges that are gaping and big/ swollen out. I’m far out from my surgery now so my doctor said the appearance won’t change really. It’s still tender to touch and I feel like it could get infected easily but my doctor said it shouldn’t. He said I could leave it as a hole or the solution would be (and this is hard to imagine) he takes some sort of clamp and pulls the inside of the hole out making it form a little cone, then cutting it off and sewing it up… This could potentially undo the marcupulization. I’m also worried I’d be left with worse pain or
