Patient's question:
A week ago, I noticed some swelling on the left side of my Bartholin's gland. I took some anti-inflammatory medication, but it had no effect. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it was a Bartholin's gland cyst. I didn't treat it after my period came, and now it's getting bigger and causing pain.Doctor's answer:
Bartholin's cyst, which is now getting larger and causing pain, has shown little effect with the anti-inflammatory medication taken. Suggestions: Hello! Before the formation of an abscess, intravenous administration of anti-inflammatory drugs may help control the inflammation. If a Bartholin's cyst becomes inflamed and forms an abscess, without incision and drainage, it will rupture and discharge pus on its own, similar to a pustule. The process of mature pus rupture will be more painful, but the pain will subside after rupture. It may recur repeatedly afterward, so after the formation of mature pus, it is best to perform incision and drainage with fistula formation and wire treatment to avoid recurrence as much as possible.
