What should be done about a purulent Bartholin's gland cyst?

Patient's question:

Vaginal cyst recurrence after surgical treatment for purulent Bartholin's gland cyst. Currently, it is purulent. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. A Bartholin's gland cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. Since the cyst can be complicated by infection, the main treatment is surgical removal, combined with the use of topical gynecological washes and oral anti-inflammatory medications. Alternatively, under the guidance of a doctor, you may use decoctions of traditional Chinese herbs that clear heat, resolve toxicity, reduce swelling, and dissipate masses for sitz baths. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene, arrange a reasonable schedule, and adopt a balanced diet. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
