Patient's question:
I had a Bartholin gland cyst surgery ten days ago. I want to ask the expert when I can take a bath. How long should I avoid sexual activity!Doctor's answer:
The Bartholin's glands are responsible for secreting mucus to lubricate the vagina. They originally have their own openings, but if they become inflamed or blocked by debris, preventing the mucus from draining, they can swell and form Bartholin's gland cysts.Recommendation: Generally, a fistula or abscess incision is required for treatment. Traditional treatment involves creating a fistula, which results in significant bleeding, large trauma, and the need for hospitalization. After this surgery, it is easy to form inflammatory scars locally, and symptoms may recur. Once the symptoms subside, you can take a bath.
