How to handle a Bartholin's gland cyst rupture

Patient's question:

Bartholin's cyst broke on the 6th day, and my period started again. The hospital said I have to wait until my period ends to have surgery, but it broke on its own now.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the Bartholin gland cyst ruptures, it is still necessary to go to the hospital to clean up the purulent secretions inside, otherwise it is relatively easy to recur. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent the possibility of infection. Suggestions: It is recommended to go to the hospital to clean up the purulent secretions and place a drainage tube to promote the discharge of pus. Local treatment can be given with erythromycin ointment, etc. Avoid sexual activity and wear cotton underwear.
