Patient's question:
I previously had a Bartholin's cyst. This condition is also rare in men, as it is usually found in women. However, I don't know what causes it.Hello, is a Bartholin's cyst related to anything? Is it related to dietary habits?
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal gland cysts are generally caused by inflammation leading to obstruction of the vaginal gland ducts, where secretions cannot be expelled and accumulate. This condition is associated with inflammation, infection, and damage to the vaginal glands, but it has no relation to dietary habits. If vaginal gland cysts do not exhibit obvious symptoms, treatment may not be necessary, and regular follow-up is recommended. However, if the cysts affect daily life, a cystostomy can be performed. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain a healthy diet.
