Patient's question:
Please ask, after the Bartholin gland abscess ruptures on its own, the doctor at the hospital placed a drainage tube for me there. I heard that urine and other excretions can cause infection to the wound, so I want to ask if, during the time the drainage tube is still in place, I can use high-manganese potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 1:5000 to clean the vulva for bactericidal and anti-infection purposes after urination and defecation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the drainage of the Bartholin gland abscess, you can use potassium permanganate for external washing and disinfection. Additionally, you need to take oral anti-infective medication for treatment.Suggestions:
After urination and defecation, you need to maintain dryness and cleanliness around the wound. This is beneficial for the abscess to close. Additionally, you should frequently visit the hospital to change the drainage tube.
