    Bartholin Cyst

    I am thinking I have a bartholin cyst.  It doesn't hurt or cause any problems, however it seems to be getting bigger.  Is there any way to make it shrink or go away?  I'd rather not go to a MD.....

    I have been taught that if it's not causing you a problem (no pain, no drainage), you leave it alone.  If it goes into an abscess, then it needs to be treated.  I'm sure someone here will have an herbal treatment or supplement but I didn't see any in the books I have. ??
