Patient's question:
Symptom Description (Main Symptoms): Swelling is relatively largeDoctor's answer:
Hello! The Bartholin's glands are responsible for secreting mucus to lubricate the vagina. They originally have their own openings, but if they become inflamed or blocked by debris, the mucus cannot be expelled, leading to swelling and the formation of Bartholin's gland cysts.Medical Advice: If the swelling is severe, it may rupture on its own, releasing pus and then healing. However, the rupture site will close, causing it to swell again and recur. If a pouch is created to form an artificial new opening, the mucus and debris within the Bartholin's glands can be expelled, preventing further recurrence.
