Patient's question:
Vaginal gland cyst. The doctor said to wait until after the period to treat it, but now it's swollen and very uncomfortable to move, very painful. How can a vaginal gland cyst be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal gland cyst is formed due to the blockage of the vaginal gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. If it hasn't developed into an abscess yet, it's best not to undergo surgery during menstruation to avoid the spread of inflammation. Instead, antibiotics like cephalexin can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. However, if an abscess has already formed, it's important to promptly incise and drain the abscess.In daily diet, it's advisable to avoid foods that may irritate, such as alcohol, fish, eggs, as well as onions, garlic, and chili peppers. In fact, having gynecological conditions isn't something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
