How is it better to treat Bartholin's cyst?

Patient's question:

How is the best treatment for bartholin's cyst?

Doctor's answer:

Bartholin's cyst, also known as a vestibular gland cyst
The Bartholin's glands are located at the posterior part of the labia majora, with their ducts opening on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. When the secretion of the Bartholin's glands is obstructed and accumulates in the ducts, it causes cystic expansion of the glands, leading to the formation of Bartholin's cyst.
Advice: Bartholin's cysts can persist for a long time without changing for years. If they do not interfere with daily life, regular observation may be sufficient without the need for treatment. If the cyst gradually grows or recurs with frequent infections, forming abscesses, Bartholin's cyst drainage surgery may be performed. If the condition is not severe, anti-inflammatory treatment can also be administered.
