What is a Bartholin's gland cyst? What medicine is good for a Bartholin's gland cyst?

Bartholin's gland cyst is caused by the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct and the accumulation of secretions. After the acute inflammation subsides, the gland duct is blocked and the secretions cannot be discharged. The pus gradually turns into clear liquid and forms a cyst. Sometimes, the mucus in the gland cavity is thick or the congenital gland duct is narrow and the drainage is not smooth, which can also form a cyst. If there is a secondary infection, abscesses will form and recur repeatedly.

What medicine should I take for Bartholin's gland cyst?

The lives of patients with Bartholin's gland cysts will be seriously affected, so its treatment has become a concern for many patients. The following are several effective treatment methods for your reference.

1. Emergency treatment:

2. Antibiotic treatment:

Patients with milder conditions generally have not yet formed abscesses, and they need to rest in bed to reduce friction in the affected area. For these patients, the secretions from the opening of their Bartholin's glands can be cultured for bacteria, and then appropriate antibiotics can be selected for oral or intravenous administration based on the pathogen and drug sensitivity.

3. Treatment with Chinese medicine:

For Bartholin's gland cysts, choose multiple Chinese medicines such as gentian, bupleurum, platycodon, jasmine, scutellaria, plantain seed, gleditsia thorn, radix rehmanniae, forsythia, rhubarb, and toosendan fruit, and boil them together in water.

What to eat for Bartholin's gland cyst

Suffering from Bartholin's gland cyst will not only affect the patient's daily life, but also seriously threaten the patient's health. However, there are some dietary treatments that can slightly slow down the deterioration of the disease.

Poria cocos and glutinous rice porridge (cook glutinous rice into porridge, add appropriate amount of Poria cocos powder when the porridge base is half cooked, mix well and cook until the rice is cooked, and take it on an empty stomach.) Traditional Chinese medicine usually uses this dietary therapy to treat spleen deficiency and dampness, so it has a certain effect on cysts, but you should get used to eating it for a long time.

But in terms of dietary health care, you must focus on light food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less greasy and irritating food.
