Is it okay to pick an abscess in the Bartholin’s gland with a needle?

It is not possible to pick through a Bartholin’s gland abscess with a needle by yourself, as this may increase the risk of cross-infection and other risks. Bartholin’s gland abscess is a disease caused by blockage of the Bartholin’s gland ducts. After picking it with a needle by yourself, the secretion inside the abscess is thicker and not all of it can be discharged, and with the secretion of the glands, the abscess will still increase in size, which is not therapeutic. In addition, after the skin is broken, it loses its protective effect and the chance of cross-infection increases, which may lead to the aggravation of the original condition. Therefore, if a patient has a Bartholin’s gland abscess, it is recommended not to pick it with a needle by oneself to avoid causing adverse effects, but to seek medical attention in time and take the correct treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
