Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion degree 2, and I go to the hospital every week for Chinese herbal medicine topical application. If there are bartholin's cysts or vaginal polyps, will the doctor notice them after using a speculum during each medication change? If the doctor says nothing, does that mean everything is fine?Doctor's answer:
Since Bartholin's cysts can persist for a long time, remaining unchanged for over a decade, if they do not interfere with daily life, they can be regularly monitored without treatment. If the cyst gradually grows or recurs with infections, frequently forming abscesses, Bartholin's cyst ostomy can be performed. This procedure preserves the function of the gland while ensuring proper drainage to prevent recurrence. Bartholin's cyst excision, which removes the gland, renders its function lost, and is now largely replaced by ostomy.
