Patient's question:
A while ago, when I had sexual intercourse with my husband, I always felt uncomfortable, and sometimes I also felt a sense of fullness and heaviness in the lower vagina. After going to the hospital for a thorough examination, I found out that it was a Bartholin's gland cyst. Later, I had a fistula surgery, and now I just want to ask, how long does it take to fully recover after a Bartholin's gland cyst fistula surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am very happy to help you solve your problem. For a Bartholin gland cyst, if it is split and infected, a stoma surgery may be required. The recovery time after this surgery depends on the condition of the local incision during wound dressing changes. I believe that if the recovery is smooth, it will still take more than two weeks. This is because the incision itself is located in a difficult area of the external genitalia. In addition to the time for wound dressing changes and healing, it will take at least 10 to 14 days.
