Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 36 years old, with a history of illness for over six years, with no pain in between. On August 29th, she underwent surgery for cervical polyps. One week later, the Bartholin's gland cyst swelled and caused pain. After three days of pain, she went to the hospital for a fistula operation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the procedure for Bartholin gland cyst drainage, it is important to change the dressing regularly. You can soak in water with potassium permanganate powder for Sitz baths during the day. Generally, oral medication is not necessary.Advice: During menstruation, due to weakened immunity, there may be an increased risk of infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area, such as changing sanitary pads frequently. After using the restroom, you can rinse with clean water. Generally, there is no need to use soaps or povidone-iodine for cleaning.
I recommend not worrying too much, as regular dressing changes after the surgery are the most important treatment method.
