Vestibular gland abscesses usually break on their own in a few days

  The time of natural breakdown of a vestibular gland abscess is related to the amount of abscess, pressure in the lumen, and the degree of thickness of the abscess wall, and cannot be generalized; it may take several days or tens of days.  Vestibular gland abscesses are formed when the opening of the vestibular gland is blocked so that the fluid secreted cannot be discharged and the fluid is confined to the cavity of the gland, and when the area is infected with bacteria, an abscess is formed. As the time of vestibular gland abscess prolongs, the secretion will increase and the pressure in the glandular cavity will increase, at which time the abscess will naturally break down if the abscess wall is thin. However, the amount of secretions, the pressure in the glandular cavity and the formation of the abscess wall vary from patient to patient, so the time to break down is not consistent.  When a patient has a vestibular gland abscess, it is not recommended to wait for the abscess to break down naturally to avoid damage to the function of the vestibular gland. Patients should go to the hospital in time to have the abscess incised and drained to cure it completely and prevent recurrence. The surgical incision currently taken in the hospital is small and simple to perform, so there is no need to worry excessively.
