Patient's question:
But I don't know why my Bartholin's cyst keeps recurring. Please ask the doctor what I should do.Doctor's answer:
Congenital duct stenosis of Bartholin's glands, or thick secretions, can also lead to cyst formation due to poor Bartholin's gland fluid discharge. After the formation of Bartholin's gland cysts, they can persist for a long time with slow development, and patients generally experience no discomfort, only noticing that one labia is larger than the other. Gynecological examination reveals: swelling in the lower one-third of the affected labia majora, with a cystic texture and no significant tenderness, pushing the vaginal opening to the healthy side.Since Bartholin's gland cysts can persist for years without changing, if they do not interfere with daily life, regular observation may be sufficient without treatment. If the cyst gradually enlarges or recurs with frequent infections, forming abscesses, Bartholin's gland cystostomy can be performed. This procedure preserves the gland's function while ensuring smooth drainage and preventing recurrence.
