Patient's question:
Patient Age: I went to the doctor on the 16th and confirmed it was an abscess of the Bartholin's gland. They prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and potassium permanganate sitz baths. On the afternoon of the 20th, it ruptured naturally, and the abscess disappeared after that. I finished the anti-inflammatory medication. Do I still need to see a doctor or get an injection of anti-inflammatory medication?Doctor's answer:
The formation of Bartholin's gland cyst is mainly due to the blockage of the Bartholin's gland orifice, leading to the accumulation of secretions and the formation of a cystic mass. As long as there is no infection or enlargement, it generally does not affect fertility or daily life.It is recommended to apply a warm local dressing with magnesium sulfate solution daily. If there is enlargement or pain, surgical treatment should be considered. Procedures such as Bartholin's gland fistulotomy can be performed, which can preserve the function of the Bartholin's glands after surgery.
