Patient's question:
I carefully checked two years ago and found that I had a Bartholin's gland cyst. However, I have already had surgery and have fully recovered very well. But it seems like it has flared up again recently. So I want to ask a few questions. What should I do if the Bartholin's gland cyst flares up?Doctor's answer:
The Bartholin's glands are located on both sides of the vaginal opening, with each gland having its own opening. If the openings become blocked, it can often lead to Bartholin's gland cysts or abscesses. You previously had a Bartholin's gland cyst and underwent surgery for it. Now you've noticed that it has recurred, and surgery can be performed again to alleviate the condition, such as through a Bartholin's gland fistulostomy. After the surgery, it's important to take some antibiotics to prevent infection and pay close attention to maintaining good hygiene in the genital area.
