The proper treatment of a bartholin cyst is a surgery called marsupillization
You cannot do anything to prevent it's recurrence

A Bartholin cyst that keeps coming back, ten times now, means the gland's duct keeps blocking again after it drains on its own. Sitz baths help the swelling settle, but they don't fix why the duct blocks in the first place. That's why it keeps recurring this often.
Next Steps
For cysts that keep recurring, a gynaecologist usually considers options beyond draining alone. These include marsupialization or placing a small word catheter so the gland drains permanently. Warm sitz baths a few times a day still help during a flare, and good hygiene in the area lowers the chance of another episode.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if the area turns very painful, swollen, hot or you develop fever, since that points to an infected abscess needing proper drainage.
