Patient's question:
My girlfriend had a small blister grow slightly inside her vaginal area near the entrance of the door. Two days ago, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but in the past few days, she hasn't felt anything except a foreign body sensation. Is this okay?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned might be a Bartholin's gland cyst, which is formed due to the blockage of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After the acute inflammation subsides, the duct remains blocked, and the secretions cannot be expelled, gradually turning into clear fluid to form a cyst. Sometimes, the cyst can also form if the mucus in the gland lumen is thick or if the duct is congenitally narrow, causing poor drainage. If secondary infection occurs, it can form an abscess with recurrent episodes. It is recommended to have the patient visit a hospital for a definitive diagnosis.
