Bartholin Cyst In Vaginal Area. Drained Through Incision. Treatment?
Hello...I just had a Bartholin Cyst drained by incision in a walk-in clinic. It was not large, but was becoming painful. I am concerned that the Dr. did not prescribe any antibiotics or ointment to help the healing . It has been gradually draining, but I can still feel it. Do you think I should call to get an antibiotic? Also, with it draining, will it not cause further issues in the vaginal area?
