Jeffersonianitis

Can anyone tell me if Jeffersonian gland inflammation can only be treated with surgery, or are there other options?
I'm asking for someone who is dealing with an inflammation for the second time. They had surgery for this about 20 years ago and ended up stuck in the hospital for a week afterward. Is it still the same today, or is there a... well, a "faster" way to handle it? Has medical tech actually moved forward since then?

I honestly think we should just treat this with antibiotics. Why go through the hassle of unnecessary surgery?

Antibiotics can be a lifesaver sometimes, but more often than not, you end up on the operating table. It’s not all doom and gloom, though. These procedures are routine. You'll likely only be stuck in the hospital for a day or two, if that. In most cases, anyway.

A Bartholin abscess happens when those tiny drainage ducts get blocked. Sometimes it clears on its own, sometimes you need antibiotics, and other times they just have to surgically open it up to drain the infection. It tends to be a recurring thing, too—if it happens once, there's a good chance you'll deal with it again every few years. I read somewhere that they can insert a little tube to act as a permanent drain, but my doctor's take was pretty blunt: "We're taking it out." They told me it was a routine procedure, but honestly, I don't think I've ever experienced pain quite like that. I'm not sure if the local anesthesia just didn't hit the mark or what, but even thinking about it now gives me the chills. I ended up staying in the hospital for two days, only for it to abscess again a few days later, meaning they had to go back in and drain it all over again. Long story short, I didn't want to get anywhere near 😉 for months. I don't mean to scare anyone, but it’s better to know what you're walking into. Good luck!
