I have a vestibular abscess, what should I do?

Patient's question:

On June 18, 2010, I discovered a lump in my lower abdomen, but it didn't cause any discomfort, so I didn't seek treatment.
On June 24, 2010, I had my menstrual period.
Starting from June 27, 2010, I began to feel discomfort in my lower abdomen, and I noticed a lump the size of a quail egg.
In December 2009, I had a case of Bartholinitis, and during my menstrual period, the doctor said it couldn't be treated, only medication was prescribed. At that time, it was very painful, and I couldn't even walk.
After the menstrual period ended, it had developed into a Bartholin's cyst, so I had to undergo surgery.
This time, there wasn't too much pain, though it occasionally occurred. However, I still have my menstrual period, so I am taking some medication.

Doctor's answer:

Cefixime capsules and levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules are effective for this condition, but once an abscess forms, it is difficult to heal without surgery. However, due to the menstrual period, high-manganese potassium warm sitz baths are not recommended. Therefore, it is advised to take antibiotics orally or intravenously under the guidance of a local doctor to prevent the condition from worsening.
Advice: After the menstrual period ends, try using high-manganese potassium warm sitz baths in combination. If necessary, seek a gynecological examination at the hospital and undergo surgical treatment. The surgery should be performed by an experienced gynecologist using an external inversion suture to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Wishing you a happy mood.
