Patient's question:
Patient Li, who is 32 years old, discovered a lump in his inner thigh himself. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was a prostatic cyst.Doctor's answer:
Women do not suffer from prostatic cysts; Bartholin's cysts are caused by the obstruction of Bartholin's glands, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After acute inflammation subsides, blocked glands prevent secretions from being expelled, gradually transforming pus into clear fluid to form a cyst. Thick mucus in the glandular cavity or congenital narrowing of the glandular ducts, which hinder fluid discharge, can also lead to cyst formation. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of Bartholin's cyst risk maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
