Patient's question:
Recently, nothing has been wrong, but after having sex with my husband last night, I noticed that the flesh between the left vaginal opening and the labia was swollen and red, and it was quite painful. What could be the reason?First follow-up question: Hello: I have been to the hospital, and the doctor said it is a Bartholin's gland cyst. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the labia majora may be caused by inflammatory stimulation. It is recommended to wash the external genital area 2-3 times daily with a high-manganese potassium permanganate solution at a concentration of 1:5000. After drying, apply an antibiotic ointment to the affected area. Additionally, proper care should be taken to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the vaginal area, and avoid wearing synthetic underwear. It is also advisable to rest more, drink plenty of water, pay attention to local hygiene, use povidone-iodine for disinfection, undergo antiviral treatment, support immune regulation, maintain regular rest, and exercise more to enhance your body's resistance.
