Hello,
With the question “Cause and treatment of vaginal abscess? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
In a woman's private area, there are many areas that are very sensitive and easily infected, leading to abscesses, such as hair follicles, mucous glands in the vulva such as Bartholin, Skene glands, if scratched, blocked glands, bacteria easily penetrate and cause inflammation, creating pus (abscess), in some cases can increase the risk in gestational diabetes patients period, a high-sugar, high-fat diet, after cosmetic interventions such as waxing, shaving or hair removal.
The patient should be given antibiotics, punctured the abscess, cultured for bacteria, and taken according to the antibiotic chart. In some cases, it is also necessary to use drugs to treat both sexual partners (for example, gonococcal infection,...). Abscess is also easy to recur, so cleaning and taking care of the private area with cleaning solutions, regular gynecological examination, proper nutrition and living are essential to keep the private area healthy.
If you still have questions about the cause and treatment of vaginal abscess, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
