While surgical drainage is often necessary for Bartholin abscesses, particularly large or infected ones, some cases can be managed with conservative treatments, including antibiotics and other measures.

I've just finished a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, and it's been four days since then, but I still haven't got my period. How long is it usually supposed to take after finishing the medication for periods to start? Should I be concerned?

After taking a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, it is common to experience a delay in the onset of your menstrual period. Typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-7 days after finishing the course of Deviry. If you have not started your period within a week after completing the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

yeah it's safe to take 2nd pill within in a month
