Hello- yes, a bartholin's cyst or abscess may recur and again require treatment. Don't have sex while a bartholin cyst is healing. If the cyst is infected, it may break open and start to heal on its own after 3 to 4 days. But if the cyst is painful, your doctor may drain it. You can start ayurveda treatment if want to stop its recurrence permanently.
