Patient's question:
A week ago, my boyfriend and I had sex without protection. He previously had prostatitis. A few days later, I developed a swelling in my genital area. After seeing the doctor again yesterday, he said it was a Bartholin's cyst and that surgery with drainage is required. I want to ask if I need to be hospitalized for the surgery? Can I wear normal clothes after the surgery? How many days will it take to fully heal? Will it recur? Is the recurrence rate high? Lastly, does this have anything to do with my boyfriend's prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Your situation, based on the description, is best to actively decide on surgery or other minor treatments, as the possibility of the condition worsening may be smaller. There is no need to worry too much, and it is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene and avoid excessive cold food. Post-surgery, it is advisable to actively cooperate with anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor, pay attention to preventing the possibility of transmission, and strictly prohibit sexual activity in the short term. It is also considered that this is not much related to male inflammation.
