So sorry to hear of your mum passing away. The last thing you needed was a BC to make what is already a tough time harder. The cure is great right? Now you can concentrate on what’s important. I hope everything goes as you hope it to for the farewell of your mum x
Has anyone tried this while on antibiotics? I’m on day 8 and I can’t move. This is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I honestly don’t think I can take any more burning and stinging. I have been on antibiotics since Sunday afternoon, do you think it will help this process go quicker?
Yep, I was on anti biotics too, keep on at it, I promise it will work. Mine took over 30 hours but i promise the relief was instant! I figure that the continued anti biotics will also help keep any infection at bay once it bursts. Stick with it girl, it’ll be over soon x
I broke my neck 2 years ago and this is more pain than that. The compress with the stuff on it burns. The swelling it making the skin discolor and black spots are forming. Is it normal for the skin to bruise and the phoebe compress to burn and sting?
You’re getting close when you can feel it like that. A few ladies on here I’d read previous experiences the same. You’ll soon start to see yellowish pus like stuff on the gauze when you pull it away.
Hi girls! Thanks for sharing all your experiences, it really helps to know others got through this successfully! I have a rather stupid question - when you apply the gauze, where exactly do you put it? As far as I know, the "entrance" to the gland is rather hidden. Do you have to place the gauze on the inside or is it ok if you place it where you would place a pad and secure it with underwear?
Also - I've had mine for about a month now, but it wasn't big or painful. A few days ago it became bigger and more painful and now the size and pain have receded a bit. Do you think I should do the treatment anyways?
Thanks for your help!
I would do the treatment anyway hun, mine have never been painful or abscessed before now so it’s always possible for them to worsen. I finally have some drainage starting. This has been the most painful thing ever for me!
Yes I would do the treatment too. As bonnie007 said, it will likely get worse before it gets better. The pain is just damn awful, but the relief once it’s gone is incredible. Put the soaked gauze literally right over the cyst. Cover it with it. It gets messy but cover as much of the cyst as you can with the gauze. Hope that helps x
That’s great! If it hasn’t yet gone, it won’t be long 👍🏻
Thanks so much Jody!! It was such a relief to be able, as you say, to concentrate on this extremely important event in my life - celebrating my mother's life and grieving our loss of such a great lady. You're sweet to express your kindness - thanks again and take care!!
As someone who had suffered from vaginal cysts about every 3 months. I know all too well the pain and discomfort you suffer from this. I couldn't understand why this kept happening, until a light bulb went off and thought "It has to be the Liquid Body Wash " and I've used every brand. So I decided to STOP using Liquid Body Wash all together. If you read ingredients they are about a paragraph long, so I switched to all natural bar soap like TOMS (there are other brands also available.)I'm happy to report since the switch, I have been cyst FREE almost a year now. I do feel more studies should be made, the Liquid Body Wash industry is a 3billion dollar market and growing and chemicals are used in these products. I'm not a Dr. but I just wanted to share my story.
I am gonna try it now.
Worse pain ever. I went to a gynae and he sent me to the hospital for incision and drainage. problem is I don't have medical aid and I ve had worse experience in non private hospitals which left me scarred for life . imagine now in such a delicate place. no offense and we thank hospitals for their extra ordinary work but ,I ll try this remedy.
my question is do u put the mixture outside or even inside,coz most of my swelling and hard orange ball is more in the inside walls than outside. the pink area.
but is it safe to apply the mixture there..
thank u ..
Hi ms jody. I found that you always have a soft heart to reply on their questions, so i think i can also ask you 1 thing. After the cyst popped, whats the next thing should i do? Continue the gauze with mixture? For how many days? Until it closed? Haha sorry i am so confused. I hope your free now to respond
Hi, I have such sympathy for you right now. This is every woman’s nightmare to deal with. Once mine had burst, I sat in the loo and ‘coaxed’ the cyst to empty so there was nothing left in it. The relief was instant and because my doctor had given me anti biotics I carried on taking them till the course had finished to help fight any possible infection, it could be worth you seeing your doctor to get some if you haven’t already. I didn’t use any more solution once it had popped though. I hope your ordeal is over soon! Good luck x
Hi Ms Jody, I too find you really kind and soft hearted to all of us girls going through this pain. I noticed there's a lump some time last week but I neglected it as I thought it was just a pimple, but the lump became super swollen and painful three days ago so upon googling online I found this heavenly sent forum along with you lovely ladies. I immediately started the cycle with Phoebe's cure since then, and after another night leaving the cotton pad with the mixture on my lump, the mixture seems to abrade a huge chunk of the skin away. I'm really scared now because it's my first time getting it, and I would like to ask if it's normal and if I should keep applying the mixture knowing the pain will be even worse... I bursted out crying this morning when trying to massage the lump while doing another sitz bath with epsom sal. The pain was just too much to handle! 😭
I only have my own experience to go by, and I’ve had a cyst like his 4 times over the last 7 years. My most recent one was when I tried ‘phoebes cure’ method. Whilst doing the gauze swapping, I also had a little bit of what looked like bruised split skin. It wasn’t long after that it popped to be honest. It was almost as if the skin was so thin at that point, it started to get sore, not like the throbbing pain from the cyst itself, but a stinging soreness. I just figured that it was working and doing its thing. I hope you get through til it pops, keep it going. Good luck!
Thank you for your warm and speedy reply! After noticing the peeling skin (I assume it's the result of tee tree oil from the mixture but I'm not sure), I stopped applying anything and just lay on my bed to rest a bit, n two hours later when I wiped the lump I saw a bit of liquid so I took a mirror to check on the cyst n found a tiny hole. When I lightly pressed towards the hole, it started to drain! I managed to drain about 70% out til nothing seemed to come out anymore so I'm just going to keep applying Phoebe's Cure to see if I could drain more out later! I'm totally crying with happy tears now! :"D Thank you and the rest of the brave ladies who are willing to share your experiences with us who feel/felt so frustrated and helpless when trying to deal with this matter on our own. Sincerely appreciate it! ❤️
If your skin there is thin enough look every part of the cyst if you can see a visible pus. Im also in so much pain that day. But when i saw the eye of the pus clearly, i ask my husband to buy a steriled syringe and steriled gauze. I popped it with the syringe & the pus+blood starts to flow right away. I know its not right & very dangerous. But i just pray & did what i feel. I just make sure to drain out everything & followed by the mixture of oils to prevent infection. Then sitzbath. Then i boil ginger, turmeric, garlic in a glass of water to act as my antibiotic Thanks god, nothing happened. I hope you too get better soon.
Ah that’s brilliant! Well done. Glad you’re out the other side now 😊 x
Well done, the relief is instant isnt it? So glad you managed to get through it 💪🏻 X
