How long does it take for the wound to heal after the fistula surgery of the Bartholin gland abscess?

Patient's question:

Female, 2220, suffered from Bartholin's gland abscess in June 2010 and underwent surgery. It recurred in October 2010, and the doctor performed a fistula surgery. The wound has a 2-3 cm opening and has been slightly uncomfortable ever since.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: After the fistula surgery for Bartholin gland cyst, generally speaking, as the area is relatively concealed, it can heal within 1-2 weeks. However, since it has been several months for you, it should have already healed. The current discomfort is likely related to factors such as the previous surgical trauma and nerve regeneration in the area. The discomfort usually disappears within 1-2 weeks.
Advice: The Bartholin gland is merely a reproductive gland that secretes fluid to provide lubrication during sexual activity and does not affect fertility after marriage. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
