Hello, I had a bartholin cyst that became infected last August. I was admitted to hospital scheduled for surgery the following day but the cyst burst during the night and I was discharged without surgical treatment and just antibiotics . In the last few days it has been sore again. It is not protruding like in August but I do have a slight fever and I am in pain when sitting walking or using the bathroom. Should I contact my local doctors surgery or will it heal on it s own? Thank you
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. It is likely to be infected. Once cyst ruptures it leaves a raw area which are potential area of infection. I suspect the infection at local site. But you should get examined your self at doctor site. Please take definite tablet 200 mg three times a day, tab diclofenac 500 mg and tab partaking for three days, please take above medication under your doctors' guidance. Good maintenance of hygiene is equally helpful in treating the infection as antibiotics do. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
