Patient's question:
Description of the problem: There is a Bartholin's gland cyst on the right side of the vulva. Without consuming spicy food, it doesn't cause pain, itching, or discomfort. The hand can feel a hard lump under the skin, and occasionally there is a sense of swelling, but it can be eliminated by slightly paying attention to the diet. I would like to ask the experts, how is this condition formed? Is surgical removal necessary?Doctor's answer:
Since Bartholin's cysts can persist for a long time, remaining unchanged for years, if they do not interfere with daily life, they can be monitored regularly without treatment. If the cyst grows gradually or recurs with frequent infections, forming abscesses, a Bartholin's cyst drainage procedure may be performed. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of a Bartholin's cyst risk to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
