Patient's question:
My wife is 34 years old this year. Last week she felt some discomfort in her body and went to the hospital. As a result, she ended up staying in the hospital for a week. The doctor said that she had a ruptured Bartholin's gland cyst. I want to know what kind of treatment is needed in this case? Does it require surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the Bartholin's gland cyst has ruptured, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery to incise and drain it, releasing the pus inside to achieve complete recovery. During this period, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and sexual activity should not be engaged in. If there is abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal medication treatment for inflammation is required.For incision and drainage of the Bartholin's gland cyst, external debridement should not be performed. It is necessary to allow the discharge to flow out naturally, allowing the wound to heal from the inside out.
