How long does it take to recover after Bartholin gland cyst surgery?

Patient's question:

Here is the translation of the provided content into English:
"December 25, 2012 surgery"

Doctor's answer:

Early after surgery, it may be necessary to change the dressing every day or every two to three days. If the wound is no longer visible, this treatment may be complete. Post-Whartington's gland fistula surgery is prone to recurrence. If complete treatment is required, Whartington's gland resection may be necessary. However, the first resection itself is a complex procedure that may not be completely removed, and recurrence may still occur postoperatively. The second reason is that removing Whartington's glands affects sexual quality of life, so this surgery is rarely performed now.
Advice: Hello, after treatment for a Bartholin's gland cyst, the external genital area should be kept clean and hygienic. Avoid wearing synthetic underwear, change and wash underwear frequently, and prevent contamination from vaginal secretions, urine, and feces.
