Patient's question:
Has pain and numbness for 3 daysDoctor's answer:
Hello, since cysts can lead to infection, surgical treatment should be pursued. In the past, cyst excision was commonly performed, but it often involved bleeding. If the cyst wall extends near the urethra, the surgical operation may be difficult, or the cyst wall may not be completely removed, leading to a possibility of recurrence. Severe scarring can cause difficulty during intercourse, so now cyst excision is only used for suspected malignant lesions. Cystoplasty (pouch suture) has been proven through years of practice to be a simple, safe method with few complications and a low recurrence rate, while also preserving glandular function. It can also be used for Bartholin's gland abscess. Ostomy is suitable for larger and repeatedly acutely recurring cysts; excision is suitable for infected cysts. For larger cysts, use a CO2 laser to focus on the lowest point (power 25W) to incise the skin by 0.5 cm, or use a D:YAG laser fiber (power 20W) to incise the lowest point of the mass by 0.5 cm. Drain the cyst contents and perform daily cleaning and dressing changes for the drainage opening. After surgery, a small opening will form on the inside of the labia, and if the cyst recurs, the pus will automatically flow out from the created opening. It is recommended that you follow the confirmed diagnosis and cooperate with standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to achieve a full recovery. Wishing you good health! Z
