What disease is it when small bumps grow inside the labia minora?

Patient's question:

What disease is it when small bumps grow inside the labia minora? Pain during intercourse with small bumps inside the labia minora?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is more likely to be a Bartholin's gland cyst. A Bartholin's gland cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, with secretions accumulating in the glandular cavity. The cyst is usually unilateral, but it can also be bilateral. Smaller cysts generally do not require special treatment, while larger cysts may cause a sensation of fullness or discomfort in the external genitalia or during intercourse.
Advice: For small cysts without symptoms, they may not be noticeable and do not necessarily need treatment. For larger cysts that cause a sensation of fullness or discomfort in the external genitalia or during intercourse, a cystostomy can be performed. Alternatively, a CO2 laser or microwave can be used to perform a cystostomy.
