Patient's question:
Just these few days, I don't know what's going on, my Bartholin's cyst has flared up, and I haven't had sexual intercourse. How can I reduce the swelling?Doctor's answer:
A Bartholin's gland cyst is formed when pathogens invade the gland and ducts, causing thick secretions to accumulate and unable to be expelled. Surgery is generally recommended for treatment, and currently, puncture and tube drainage surgery is commonly used. This type of surgery has minimal trauma, little bleeding, and minimal impact on the body.After surgery, the external genital area should be kept clean and hygienic. Avoid wearing synthetic underwear, change underwear frequently, and prevent contamination from vaginal secretions, urine, and feces. Additionally, it is best not to have sexual intercourse for at least one month, which is advisable for better recovery.
