Patient's question:
I was preliminarily diagnosed with a Bartholin's cyst. Hello: Is the problem serious? I have no symptoms, no pain or discomfort. Do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
The Bartholin's glands are located at the posterior part of the labia majora. The glandular ducts open on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Due to the anatomical characteristics of the autopsy site, pathogens can easily infiltrate during sexual intercourse, childbirth, or other situations where the external genitalia are exposed to contamination, leading to inflammation. In your case, cold compresses and anti-inflammatory treatment can be applied at present. If these measures do not control the condition, surgical treatment may need to be considered. Only in this way can recovery be achieved.
