Patient's question:
I am 31 years old, and recently I have been feeling particularly uncomfortable with my body. Then, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results revealed that I have vestibular gland cyst pain. I am very worried about my health, and it is now significantly affecting my work and daily life. So, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal gland cysts can be very painful. They grow on the lower side of the labia majora, and the opening of this gland is located at the junction of the lower one-third of the labia majora and labia minora. Because the duct of this gland is high, it is easy for secretions to flow in and become trapped, leading to secondary infection.If the pain of the vaginal gland cyst recurs, it indicates an infection. First, apply cold compresses with potassium permanganate locally. Don’t panic. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can take anti-inflammatory medications orally, such as metronidazole or amoxicillin. If there is inflammation or a strong sense of vibration, surgical drainage may be necessary.
