Hi there,

From what I understand, the most common thing they try first, is draining the cyst. If that doesn't work, then they will remove it. Depending on the size/depth, they will do this via a local anaesthetic, or if bad enough they might do it with a general anaesthetic. The procedure itself wouldn't take long, but you would have to avoid sex until given the all clear.

I found the name of the cyst that I had, it was a Bartholin Cyst.
