Hello, Today, I will like to enlighten us on *Bartholin Cyst* For those that do not know. Bartholin cyst is a swell up with fluid buildup which occurs on one side of the vagina. Sometimes this fluid become infected, and other time it's not infected. It could be painless as well as very painful. The causes include when one of the vagina glands becomes infected, usually by bacteria, or via sexually transmitted infections. Diagnosis: To diagnose a Bartholin's cyst, there could be: *A performance of a pelvic exam *Taking a sample of secretions from your vagina or cervix to test for a sexually transmitted infection *Recommendation of a test of the mass (biopsy) to check for cancerous cells, especially if you're postmenopausal or over 40 One of the medical treatment of Bartholin cyst include surgical removal of the fluid in the gland. However, there are home remedies for it. Home remedies for Bartholin cyst include: Soak yourself in warm water in a bath tub for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this four times a day for a 3 to 4 days. This may resolve the Bartholin cyst, even when it's an infected Bartholin cyst. Also Apple cider vinegar can be used to treat an infected Bartholin's cyst by diluting little acv with little water and apply it to the cyst with a cotton ball. In addition, you can take over-the-counter painkillers, such as Ibuprofen, aspirin or tylenol to help with the pain and discomfort. It's very important to also drink alot of water throughout the day. #feminine#femininehygiene#infection #infectionprevention #menstruation#menstruationmatters#fertilitytreatment#fertilityjourney#fibroids#fibroidsawareness#vaginne#relationshipsproblems#lekkiwives#abujawives #happywoman#mlm#intimacy#directsales#directsalesmommy (at Shoprite, Lekki, Victoria Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhSPNeAf-Y/?igshid=aku9xkvl9o4r
