Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Bartholin gland cyst Onset time: 2008 Laboratory test results: Need surgeryDoctor's answer:
1. 20 days after the Bartholin gland fistula surgery, there is still a small opening. How do I know when it's considered healed? Bartholin gland fistula surgery generally heals relatively slowly, and many patients may even require a second surgery. But there's no other choice; we can't just cut out the Bartholin gland from the start. After all, it's a sex gland related to sexual activity, and that wouldn't be cost-effective. However, I recommend that if it recurs again in the future, it's best to remove it all at once to avoid multiple surgeries. Moreover, each recurrence increases the likelihood of it recurring again. If it doesn't recur, then congratulations. Advice:2. When sitting in a squatting position and pressing the external genital area, you can feel a hard lump at the surgical site, but it doesn't cause pain. Is this normal? When will it disappear? This is normal. As long as there is no fluctuation sensation, it means the drainage may not be optimal. The lump might be due to tissue filling or an inflammatory response. When this lump will disappear is difficult to say. As I mentioned earlier, recurrence is also possible. If the drainage is thorough, it should heal faster.
Lifestyle care: After surgery, it's important to pay attention to anti-inflammatory treatment and prevent closure or infection.
