<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, I have what I believe is a Bartholins abscess on the upper, outer layer of my vagina. I didnt realize I had strep throat and, in and intimate moment with my husband, saliva from my mouth was transfered to my vagina. With in a day or two the abscess appeared. It appeared 2 days ago Friday so I will not been able to go to the OBGYN until tomorrow Monday, if they can get me in urgently. This morning I woke up and feel another lump on the bottom left, outer area of my vagina. I believe another one is forming. Should I go the the ER to see an MD, or is this best handled by an OBGYN?  <response>: Hi. I dont really think you even need an ORGAN, if you try a few things at home religiously and experience an improvement. So heres what you can do:Avoid wearing inner wear for a few days to prevent friction and painWarm compresses indirectly rock salt heated on a pan and placed into a clean cloth or a hot water bag wrapped with a clean cloth, placed on the region several times a day as much as toleratedWarm water site bathes with Epsom salt in it, soak yourself for at least 30 minutes or more at least 2-3 times dailyDo not shave the regionKeep the region clean and Chat Doctor. Best wishes.
