Is Bartholinitis necessarily surgical?

Patient's question:

Swollen... the size of a quail egg, no other symptoms, a slight sense of distending pain when pressed

Doctor's answer:

Hello, bartholinitis is an inflammation of the Bartholin's glands caused by various pathogens. If untreated in time, it can develop into an acute suppurative inflammation, forming a Bartholin's gland abscess.
Medical Advice: Based on your condition, it is likely a Bartholin's gland abscess. Generally, after the abscess forms, it needs to be drained through incision and a fistula may be created. Therefore, your case requires surgery, which will be performed under anesthesia.
