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'm 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy, and after a recent scan, my cervical length measured 2.9 cm. At the NT scan, it was 3 cm. Should I be worried about this change in cervical length, or is it considered normal?

Cervical length of less than 3cm measured between 20-24 weeks of gestation is associated with preterm births and favours vaginal birth whereas, cervical length of more than 4cm is associated with postdated pregnancy and increased incidence of cesarean section.
