Bartholin abscess - treatment time with antibiotics vs drainage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment time: For most abscesses, treatment is faster with drainage vs just taking an antibiotic. And, often, drainage is the only treatment that is needed. However, many physicians will use both approaches to try to clear an abscess.
