How many days should I take anti-inflammatory injections after labia cyst surgery?

Labia cyst is also a relatively common cyst. At this time, you should go to the hospital for a regular examination in time. If it is serious, it can be treated by surgical resection. After the operation, you should take anti-inflammatory measures in time. You can get anti-inflammatory injections for a few days. Generally speaking, 3 to 5 days of anti-inflammatory injections can prevent infection very well. In addition, you should keep your private parts clean in your life and pay attention to dietary conditioning.

1. Incision

The labia minora is turned outward, and a longitudinal incision is made from the weak part of the cyst protrusion at the junction of the skin and mucosa on the outside of the root of the hymen. The length depends on the size of the cyst, generally 0.5 to 1 cm away from the upper and lower ends of the cyst. The mucosa and cyst wall are cut open. Drain the contents (if it is pus, culture it for bacteria) and flush the cyst cavity with saline.

2. Suture

Use forceps to lift the edge and turn it outward to align the surrounding mucosal incision edges, and use 2-0 chromic gut or 4-0 silk thread for interrupted sutures. The turned-over cyst wall completely covers the wound edge of the vaginal vestibule mucosa, forming a new glandular duct opening in the center of the stoma to prevent the glandular duct opening from reclosing. Place Vaseline or saline gauze in the wound cavity for drainage, and cover the wound with sterile gauze (if it is an abscess, no suture is necessary).

3. Comparison with conventional electrosurgical knife or ring electrode resection

Using an ordinary electric knife or a ring electrode (EEP) to partially remove the cyst wall at the junction of the skin and mucosa can also achieve a similar effect. In comparison, this method causes less bleeding, shortens the operation time, and allows for smoother drainage.

1. You can go home to rest and move around freely.

2. Remove the drainage gauze 24 hours after the operation.

3. Keep the vulva clean and take a warm water sitz bath twice a day for 20 minutes each time. After defecation, take a sitz bath with 1/5000 furacilin solution or 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and then change the dressing.

4. For those who have undergone silk sutures, the sutures should be removed one week after the operation. Follow-up should be conducted once a week thereafter, and forceps should be used to explore the cavity to maintain patency and prevent the stoma from re-closing. This should be done 4 to 6 times in total.

Vulvar cysts are the most common tumors on the female vulva, and the cysts usually occur on both sides of the vaginal opening. The formation of vulvar cyst is related to a pair of glands on both sides of the vaginal opening, which are called "Vestibular glands" (or "Baththolin glands"). In the acute phase of inflammation, the affected area may appear red, swollen, hot, and painful, and pus will be discharged when the gland duct is squeezed; in the chronic phase, the gland duct opening is blocked, and mucus gradually accumulates to form a cyst. Most cysts are unilateral and are generally painless, itchy, and do not change skin color.

Patients can be injected with antibiotics during the acute phase of inflammation. If the abscess is mature and fluctuating, puncture and drainage or incision and drainage can be performed. In the chronic stage, if the abscess is as big as a peanut or a date and has no symptoms, it may not be treated; if the abscess grows rapidly and is often painful, the abscess should be incised and drained.
