Patient's question:
Previous laboratory test results: Bartholin's gland cyst 32cmDoctor's answer:
Vaginal Gland Cyst: It is formed due to obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After the resolution of acute inflammation, duct blockage prevents the secretion from being expelled, gradually transforming purulent fluid into clear liquid to form a cyst. Sometimes, thick mucus within the gland lumen or congenital duct stenosis can also result in poor drainage and cyst formation. If secondary infection occurs, an abscess may form with recurrent episodes. Due to the risk of secondary infection, surgical treatment should be pursued. Historically, cyst excision was commonly performed, but it carries the possibility of bleeding. If the cyst wall extends near the urethra, surgical operation may be difficult, or the cyst wall may not be completely removed, leading to recurrence. Severe scarring may cause difficulty during intercourse. Therefore, cyst excision is now only used for suspected malignant lesions. Vaginal Gland Cyst Formation Surgery (Pouch Suture) has been practiced for many years and has indeed proven to be a simple, safe method with few complications and a low recurrence rate while preserving glandular function. It can also be applied to Bartholin's gland abscess.
