Does a Bartholin gland cyst require surgery?

Patient's question:

There have been cases like this before, but they resolved on their own after a while, and it was left unattended. Two weeks ago, a-sized lump reappeared on the inside of the right side of the vaginal opening. It didn't hurt or itch, but today it started to feel a bit painful, and I noticed the cyst had shrunk. Could it have ruptured inside? How is the pus expelled after a cyst rupture? If it remains inside, could it cause an infection? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Cysts are often caused by infection. It is recommended to take levofloxacin capsules and amoxicillin capsules orally. Clean the cysts with hydrogen peroxide daily, then soak in potassium permanganate solution. Drink more water, eat a light diet, and avoid sexual activity.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area in daily life.
