Being on pain meds for the bladder issue might be a good idea. It will also help if she is experiencing any pain with the cysts. Whether she is in pain with the cysts depends on many factors which we don’t have the information for.
What meds and procedures are done for the cysts depends on the cysts. Some sows do need hormone treatments (which is not often done in the Uk at present, but is done more commonly in the US), some need to have their ovaries removed, others need a full spay.
I don’t have sows so my knowledge on cysts is just general information.
Additionally, the results of my pig's stool test yesterday showed 2 positive results for plant cells, positive for plant fibre, 2 positive results for yeast, and weak bacterial activity.
Based on the results of the stool test, do we need to adjust the hay and probiotics we are currently feeding?
Based on my research on probiotics in the forum, I found a specific probiotic product. Could you please help me determine if it is suitable for my guinea pig, or if there are any probiotics with active bacterial strains specifically effective for guinea pigs? I have shared my experiences with treating my guinea pig in my domestic guinea pig breeding group, and many fellow enthusiasts have started learning from the websites and forums I recommended, seeking my advice on which probiotics are effective. Recently, many guinea pigs in the group have experienced bloating followed by medication use, which later led to liver and kidney damage. My guinea pig also experienced bloating followed by medication use, which triggered a recurrence of otitis media. and eventually had to be euthanised due to uncontrollable inflammation and severe liver damage. Given this situation, I believe we all need to find a probiotic with truly active bacterial strains. I have found this product, and if possible, I will use it for my guinea pigs and recommend it to parents in need of probiotics.

Product Benefits
Yeast tablets (also known as "food mother") contain abundant B-vitamins, as well as enzymes such as amylase and maltase.
Vitamin B1 enhances appetite in pregnant women, promotes the secretion of digestive juices, and supports foetal development; Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, not only helps maintain smooth skin in the foetus and prevents skin conditions such as angular cheilitis and glossitis in pregnant women but also plays a role in promoting the development of the foetal visual system; Vitamin B6 has a significant ameliorative effect on nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy; Vitamins B2, B6, B12, and folic acid are essential components for the synthesis of haemoglobin and the stimulation of red blood cell proliferation in pregnant women and foetuses. Additionally, adequate levels of vitamin B12 and niacin ensure good mood, normal mental activity in pregnant women, and healthy development of the foetal nervous system.
Adequate levels of vitamins B2 and B6 can enhance the body's immune function, which is crucial for maintaining normal immune function during pregnancy and after the infant's birth. The niacin in yeast tablets has vasodilatory and lipid-lowering effects, thereby benefiting the blood circulation of both the foetus and the pregnant woman. The recommended daily dose during pregnancy is 4–6 tablets.
