Patient's question:
I got a Bartholin's cyst last year and did not receive any treatment. Now I feel like the cyst has disappeared. Expert: Can a Bartholin's cyst heal on its own without treatment?Doctor's answer:
After the formation of Bartholin's gland cyst, it can persist for a long time with slow development. Patients generally experience no discomfort, only noticing that one labia appears larger than the other. Gynecological examination reveals: swelling in the lower 1/3 of the affected labia majora, with a cystic texture and no significant tenderness. The vaginal opening is pushed toward the healthy side.This condition typically requires a fistulotomy or abscess incision for treatment. Traditional treatment involves fistulotomy, which involves excessive bleeding, significant trauma, and requires hospitalization.
After this surgery, inflammatory scars are prone to form locally, and the condition may recur frequently.
