Do I absolutely have to treat bartholinitis with antibiotics if it is only a non painful and non infected cyst?

Hello!

First of all, in order to ensure a proper diagnosis, it is best to consult your doctor. There are certain pathologies that present similar symptoms.

In the case of a confirmed diagnosis of bartholinitis, the treatment depends on several factors. The doctor will determine what is best based on his or her assessment. In the case of asymptomatic enlargement of a Bartholin's gland cyst in a woman under 40 years of age, with no gynecological history and no evidence of abscess or infection, antibiotic treatment is not mandatory.

In other cases, drainage may be necessary as well as antibiotic treatment. In women over 40, it is necessary to exclude vulvar cancer

Considering your age (19 years if the information is correct), that you have no symptoms and if the cysts are small, you can try sitz baths in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes 3 to 4 times a day. If the cysts do not resolve after a few days of treatment, it is necessary to consult the doctor to confirm the diagnosis.

We hope this is helpful to you, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us. If you have any other symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Have a nice day!
