What Causes Drainage From Bartholin Gland Despite Using A Catheter?
A few years ago I had a word catheter put in to drain a that was swollen. I have been experiencing no pain since but just a significant amount of bloody discharge. My doctor drained it once but it has come back. Is this due to an infection?
