Patient's question:
I myself am very busy, so I haven't fulfilled my duties as a daughter. I have been paying more attention to my mother. Recently, she told me that she wants to prepare for a Bartholin gland cyst surgery. I don't know what this is, so I am turning to you, Doctor, for help. Could you please tell me what a Bartholin gland cyst surgery is?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for Bartholin gland cyst is usually performed when a Bartholin gland cyst is present at the area from the outer labia to the vaginal opening. The cyst is then incised to drain it. This condition generally requires prior anti-inflammatory treatment before surgery, and frequent dressing changes are needed after the operation. Since this is an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection, the surgery is typically an outpatient minor procedure. It is recommended not to worry too much. A positive mindset is very helpful for recovery.
