How to treat Bartholin's cyst

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should Bartholin's cyst be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Bartholin's cyst is caused by the obstruction of secretion discharge from the Bartholin's glands, leading to the accumulation of fluid in the ducts and resulting in cystic expansion of the glands. Since Bartholin's cysts can persist for a long time without changing, if they do not interfere with daily life, regular observation may be sufficient without the need for treatment.
Advice: If the cyst gradually enlarges or recurs with frequent infections, forming abscesses, Bartholin's cyst drainage surgery can be performed. This procedure preserves the function of the glands while ensuring proper drainage and preventing recurrence.
After treatment, the external genital area should be kept clean and hygienic. Avoid wearing synthetic underwear, change underwear frequently, and prevent contamination from vaginal secretions, urine, and feces.
