How long after Bartholin gland cyst surgery can you take a shower?

Patient's question:

How long after Bartholin gland cyst surgery can I take a bath? Is there a time limit on how long I can bathe each time?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the wound has healed post-surgery without purulent discharge and has closed properly, you can take a shower. Avoid tub baths and opt for showering instead. The duration should not be too long, as it may irritate the wound and potentially lead to infection. Generally, 5-10 minutes is ideal. Afterward, you can shower once every three days as well. Don't worry—just monitor the condition of your wound.
