Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with a Bartholin's cyst last year. The doctor recommended that I have surgery to remove it, but I am worried about the potential impact on various parts of my body after the cyst removal. I would like to try some folk remedies instead of relying on surgery. Could the removal of a Bartholin's cyst affect different parts of the body?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal gland cyst is formed when the gland duct opening is blocked, leading to obstruction of glandular excretion and the confinement of fluid within the body, resulting in a cyst. If secondary infection occurs, it can cause symptoms such as fever, significant local redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which may then develop into a vaginal gland abscess. The discovery of a vaginal gland cyst typically involves the surgical excision of the cyst. This procedure is relatively minor and does not affect future bodily functions, so it is recommended to opt for surgical treatment.
