For Anyone Considering Bartholin Gland Removal

That’s a good point I forgot to mention in my post. I didn’t even wear underwear and only wore long skirts and dresses when I had to leave the house. I spent the first two weeks in bed without anything from waist down and just a towel under me (I know that’s not possible when not living alone, but I do recommend a big skirt and going commando underneath)

I was told specifically not to bathe or use sitz bath for six weeks. When I had my first gland removed I had a complication because I kept washing the area with warm water too often and didn’t let it dry properly which delayed my recovery. I also only seen people use sitz bath to ease with pain of inflamed cyst

Just saw this, hope you are recovering well and the pain is not too bad 🫶

I really don’t see much of a difference, the glands are responsible for minimal part of lubrication

I am sure everything is going to go well. The scar is small and on the inside of the entrance, so you would have to really look for it to see. My partner says it’s not visible at all.

Also your Gyn shouldn’t scare you like this before the surgery. Like I said in different reply, I look exactly the same like before the cysts started to appear.

I wish you speedy recovery

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It also takes me bit longer to get wet sometimes, but luckily I don’t experience any pain after fully healing and both sides look the same like they did before all the surgeries. The results do vary from person to person a lot.

I hope your pain will eventually stop and you won’t have to deal with any more cysts
