Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Female, suffering from candidal vulvovaginitis for ten years (started in 1995), contracted mycoplasma in 2000, followed by Bartholin's gland cyst (currently the size of jujubes, varying in size, enlarging during severe inflammation). Over these ten years, she has always been treated in the hospital, with the condition recurring repeatedly. Even after treatment, it would flare up again within a few months. During these ten years, she has basically visited the hospital several times a year for this condition, undergoing long-term treatment. The doctor said that after treatment, consolidation with medication for three months is required. She followed this treatment plan, but the condition recurred again after a few months. The doctors primarily treated the vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your information, it is recommended to start intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment (preferably with erythromycin) for one week, followed by Bartholin gland fistulotomy and antibiotic irrigation and dressing changes. It may be effective. Generally, doctors advise patients with signs of a risk of Bartholin gland cyst to maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
