Doctor's answer:
Hello: Bartholin's gland cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After the acute inflammation subsides, if the duct remains blocked and secretions cannot be expelled, the purulent fluid gradually turns into clear liquid, forming a cyst. Sometimes, a cyst may also form if the mucus in the gland lumen is viscous or if the congenital duct is narrow, causing poor drainage. If secondary infection occurs, it may develop into an abscess with recurrent attacks.Principles of medication:
1. For smaller cysts, the main treatment is sitz baths with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to prevent infection.
2. For larger cysts, sitz baths with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution are used before surgery, and oral antibiotics are primarily administered after surgery.
3. For infected cysts, options within medication boxes "A" and "B" can be selected.
