Patient's question:
I have a Bartholin's cyst. It hasn't caused me any pain or changed in the past twenty years. During my gynecological check-up in September, the doctor said that since it's not painful, there's no need to worry about it. However, I've been experiencing some mild discomfort recently. I want to ask what medication I should take or if surgery is necessary.Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to your symptoms, you can first take some anti-inflammatory medication. If there are no symptoms, surgical treatment may not be necessary. If the symptoms do not improve during medication and continue to worsen, you must undergo a vesiculofrontal fistulotomy. This will completely eliminate the symptoms, and antibiotics should also be used postoperatively. Pay attention to hygiene in the vulvar area and change your underwear frequently.
Wishing you good health.
