Patient's question:
After that, can you have sexual activity? Will it be completely fine after one month? What should I pay attention to? Also, for wounds that are completely sutured, is the chance of recurrence lower? Also, some people feel it's a bit hard when touched, and the doctor said it's normal. How long does it take for the lump to completely disappear, or will some people not have it disappear?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the medical history you provided, you have undergone an excision of the Bartholin gland abscess. It is acceptable to resume sexual activity one month after the surgery without any issues. You should pay attention to hygiene, as this side will not recur because the cyst has been removed.Medical Advice: The slight hardness in the wound area now is due to scar tissue connecting the healing site, combined with local tissue edema. As your body repairs the wound, the hardness will gradually soften and dissipate. The time it takes for the lump to completely disappear varies from person to person. You can apply local heat to promote its resolution.
