Patient's question:
I want to ask what is a Bartholin's cyst because I have never heard of this disease before. Does this condition require surgery? If it does, what is the cost of the surgery? If medication is used, how long does it take to see results because I am not sure.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal gland cyst is caused by the obstruction of the opening of the Bartholin's glands, leading to the inability to discharge secretions. When the secretions accumulate in the glandular cavity, it may result in a Bartholin's gland cyst. For smaller cysts, antibiotics can be used for initial treatment. However, for larger Bartholin's gland cysts, a Bartholin's gland fistulostomy may be necessary, which can be performed using methods such as microwave or carbon dioxide laser. It is important to pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
