After the fistula surgery of the Bartholin gland, how long can I drink alcohol?

Patient's question:

After the fistula surgery for Bartholin gland cyst, how long can I drink beer? Due to my work-related obligations, I often need to attend banquets and engage in business discussions, which means I have to drink beer. However, I don't know how long it will take for my condition to heal. If I don't drink beer, it will greatly affect my work, but if I do, I'm afraid it will harm my health again.

Doctor's answer:

If the recovery from the fistula surgery of the Bartholin gland is thorough and good, you can drink a sufficient amount of alcohol 10 days after the surgery, but you should not overdo it. After the fistula surgery of the Bartholin gland, it is necessary to enhance nutrition and eat more protein-rich foods. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods in moderation. Always maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and refrain from sexual activity within the first month, otherwise it may easily lead to infection.
