Patient's question:
Description of the problem: Bartholinitis (abscess of the labia majora). I had a swelling last year, which ruptured in 5 days, releasing a lot of pus, and then the pain subsided. It was very painful at first, even painful to walk. What factors or causes could this be? What caused it? There are no other symptoms. I saw online that some people suggest surgery to incise and drain it. Will it recur after that? How can it be prevented from recurring? How much does it cost? Because I am still a student.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bartholinitis abscess is likely caused by long-term gynecological inflammation stimulation, but it could also be due to negligence during sexual activity. Your current condition is quite serious, affecting urination and daily life. I recommend you seek medical attention promptly and consider surgical treatment. Post-surgery, avoid sexual activity for at least one month, maintain a light diet, and refrain from spicy and greasy foods.
