Patient's question:
Vaginal gland cyst, which rapidly grew to the size of an egg within a week. When I went to the hospital, it burst, and some pus flowed out. On the third day, I had a fistula surgery. During the surgery, the doctor said that almost all the pus had been drained. Right after the surgery, I experienced intermittent pain, but it became less severe in the afternoon. I just want to ask how painful the dressing change is. I had local anesthesia during the surgery, and it was still very painful.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Bartholin's gland cyst is mainly caused by the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland's excretory duct, leading to poor drainage. The presence of pus also indicates infection, which can cause more noticeable pain. The pain may be less severe during dressing changes. During dressing changes, the use of disinfectant may cause pain when sterilization is performed. Generally, it can be completely healed within three to five days, but this condition may have the potential to recur.
