Full recovery from a Bartholin’s gland stoma usually takes about 7 to 10 days, but there are individual differences in the exact recovery time.
Surgery for Bartholin’s gland cysts involves draining the retained fluid from the Bartholin’s gland through a stoma, which leaves a trauma and requires a certain amount of time to recover.
If the stoma wound is small, the mucus secreted by the gland inside the Bartholin’s gland cyst is drained out, the cavity is narrowed, and there is no infection after the operation, the wound can usually heal in about 7 to 10 days after the operation.
However, if the retained fluid is not completely drained after the operation, or if infection occurs after the operation, the healing time may be delayed, and may even cause the stoma site to become blocked again, resulting in failure of the operation.
Pay attention to local hygiene after Bartholin’s gland cystostomy, and use anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin and erythromycin as prescribed by the doctor to prevent infection and promote the wound to return to normal as soon as possible.
