INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After surgical drainage or a marsupialization procedure, it is key to continue with regular Sitz baths during the healing phase. Again, this is to ensure that the area remains clean, and to maximize healing while minimizing the risk of infection. Sitz baths are advised beginning one to two days following the surgical procedure. You may have a catheter for four to six weeks to keep your Bartholin cyst open and to prevent further fluid accumulation, following surgical drainage. For as long as the catheter remains in, it is key to refrain from sexual intercourse. Abstaining from sex for that time period will also help to prevent your cyst from becoming infected. After marsupialization, even though there is no catheter, you will be advised to refrain from sex for four weeks following the procedure to ensure full healing. You may use over-the-counter pain medications, such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or Acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Alternatively, if your pain is more severe, you may ask your doctor for prescription strength pain medications (narcotics) such as Morphine in the initial stages of recovery.

SUMMARY: Continue with regular Sitz baths. Refrain from sexual intercourse until your catheter is removed. Continue with pain medications as needed.

If your desk is cluttered with decorations, remove ones that you no longer want. Make sure any trash is thrown out at the end of each day. Put things that you aren't using away. A clean space can make a great first impression. The furniture you choose will bring a certain style to your office and can also help you stay comfortable during your work day. You'll want to take some time and choose furniture that sets the style you're after and keeps you comfortable while you work.
