Bartholins gland removal post op issues

Posted , 4 users are following.

I had my bartholins gland cyst and gland removed exactly 2 weeks ago. I have strictly followed all post op care and things were fine until tonight. I started bleedIng bright red pretty heavily and very sore. I looked at incision area and it looks like about an inch or so opening . Could the sutures possibly tore? What should I do? Has anyone experienced this

    Mine did rupture. But I had severe swelling. When I went for my post op she gave me premarin cream to apply to the area

    I'm guessing this is a question for your doctor/gynaecologist and I hope that you have been to see someone by now? That's what I would do anyway.

    If you've had the gland removed from my understanding it's a big op and you need to give yourself plenty of recovery time.

    ​Don't worry - just get yourself seen if you haven't already as you may need either cream, antibiotics etc.

    Good luck and let us know how you get on. Best J x
