How Long Does A Drained Abscess In The Bartholin Gland Bleed?

I am 34 weeks pregnant, and I had an abscess in my Bartholin Gland. I went to the doctor where they gave me 2 numbing shots, than made An incision. They put a lot of pressure to drain it, and told me not to freak out if I see blood. But how long after should I bleed?

Hello,

It can take 2-3 weeks for the wound to completely heal after abscess drainage. Don't worry if you notice any bleeding during this time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
