Patient's question:
A week ago, my boyfriend and I had sex without protection. He previously had prostatitis. A few days later, I developed a swelling in my genital area. After visiting the doctor yesterday, he said it was a Bartholin's cyst and that surgery with drainage is required. I would like to ask if this surgery requires hospitalization? Can I walk normally after the surgery? How many days will it take to recover? Will it recur? Is the recurrence rate high? Lastly, does this have anything to do with my boyfriend's prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Your situation, based on the description, is best to actively choose treatments with minimal invasiveness, as the possibility of recurrence is relatively low. There is no need to worry excessively.Recommendations:
At the same time, it is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene and avoid consuming raw or cold foods. After surgery, it is advisable to actively cooperate with anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor, pay attention to preventing the possibility of infection, and refrain from sexual activity for a short period. Additionally, it is considered that the inflammation is not significantly related to that of males.
