Patient's question:
After giving birth via C-section for a week, I developed a Bartholin's gland cyst. I use potassium permanganate for daily sitz baths, and the pain has subsided. However, the lump is very hard and shows no signs of disappearing. Can it be left untreated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you just had a C-section 7 days ago, and the bartholin gland cyst has stopped hurting. It is recommended that you do not address it for now, as the lump is hard and needs to soften gradually. However, it may flare up again. It is advised that you focus on high manganese potassium soaking baths and wait until after your postpartum period to consider further action. If the pain returns, surgical treatment can be considered. If there is no pain, you can focus on careful observation without intervention. Pay attention to your diet in daily life and avoid foods. Rest more!
