Does a Bartholin gland cyst necessarily require surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor, I am a 36-year-old middle-aged woman. I currently have a Bartholin's cyst. The doctor at the hospital recommended that I have surgery, but I feel that it's really necessary? Is surgery necessary for a Bartholin's cyst?

Doctor's answer:

The medication for Bartholin's gland cyst is generally ineffective. If treatment is needed, surgery is usually performed, specifically cystostomy. If the cyst is still relatively small and you do not want surgery, that is also acceptable, but you should pay close attention and monitor it carefully. If the cyst continues to grow, it is best to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. After surgery, it is important to pay attention to hygiene in the genital area, maintain a light diet, and avoid sexual intercourse for at least one month.
