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 26, 2010, I began to feel discomfort in my lower abdomen, but it became more comfortable. Yesterday, I noticed that the lump was getting bigger, and this morning, I found it was the size of a quail egg.In December 2009, I suffered from Bartholinitis (inflammation of the Bartholin's glands). During that time, I had my menstrual period, and the doctor said it couldn't be treated, only medication was prescribed. It was very painful then, to the point where I couldn't walk. After the menstrual period ended, a Bartholin's gland cyst had formed, and surgery was ultimately necessary.
This time, there isn't much pain, though it occasionally occurs. But now, my
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that an abscess has already formed. Using ichthammol ointment for external application is not effective.Recommendation: For your condition, it is best to use anti-inflammatory medication to control the infection and prevent further spread. After your menstrual period ends, you should promptly go to the hospital for incision and drainage of the abscess. This is the only way to effectively treat it.
