I have pus coming out of my catheter?

38-year-old woman3 years ago

I have bartholinitis that drains on its own, but I have pus. I had a word catheter less than a year ago, my gland drains on its own, but it's infected. How can I get the infection out?

Hello, thank you for your question!

This type of catheter is used to allow the evacuation of pus and other accumulations, and can take several weeks. However, if this is a new symptom, you will need to see a doctor quickly for a medical evaluation.

I hope this helps, and I am available if you have any further questions!
