Suggest Medication To Sooth And Reduce Barthloin Cyst
Question: Is there an ointment that can be used to sooth or reduce barthloin cysts and is it possible to have more than one?
Brief Answer:
No such ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes you can have multiple bartholin cysts. There is no ointment that can reduce the cyst size.
Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva).
If infection sets in, the result is a Bartholin's abscess. If the infection is severe or repeated a surgical procedure known as marsupialization may be required to stop further recurrences.
You can do a hot compress in the area and apply a local antiseptic ointment like Neosporin to reduce the discomfort and to avoid the infection.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
