Can a Bartholin's cyst be treated with warm compresses of magnesium sulfate for a long time?

Patient's question:

Last year, I went for a check-up, and the doctor said I had Bartholin's cyst. The doctor recommended using magnesium sulfate powder for heat therapy. I would like to ask, what is the ratio of magnesium sulfate to water? What is the water temperature? Can the heat therapy be done for a long time? Is it effective? It has been 10 days since the onset, and the cause or etiology is unclear. It might be related to a surgical procedure on the side of childbirth. It occurs after sexual activity.

Doctor's answer:

Magnesium sulfate can be used. You can configure it into a 30% concentration.
However, simply using magnesium sulfate externally can only provide a mild anti-inflammatory effect, with poor therapeutic results.
In this case, it is recommended to consider the combination of internal Chinese medicine consumption with external treatment. You can find a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to regulate your condition with internal medicine, followed by decocting Chinese medicine for sitz baths. Once a day, persistent treatment can lead to a complete recovery.
