Patient's question:
Married, no children. About a month ago, my vulva has been swollen and painful. It's a large-scale swelling, very hard, and I feel like there are hard lumps inside the flesh. I dare not touch it, and it's very painful when I do. Except for some very itchy bumps, I'm wondering what kind of help is needed: Hello, how serious is the Bartholin's gland cyst?Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of Bartholin's gland cyst is generally caused by poor hygiene or excessive secretion of the Bartholin's glands leading to obstruction of the gland orifices. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to vulvar hygiene, use warm water for cleaning daily, which can promptly and thoroughly remove foreign substances from the vulva, preventing obstruction of the Bartholin's gland orifices. It is also important to avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods to prevent excessive secretions and additional opportunities for obstruction. Additionally, it is necessary to frequently wash and change underwear, maintain personal hygiene, and prevent the recurrence of such conditions.
