When is the best time to have surgery for a Bartholin's gland cyst?

Patient's question:

When is the best time to have surgery for an anterior vaginal wall cyst? Urgent!

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal gland cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the opening of the vaginal gland duct, with the accumulation of secretions in the glandular cavity. Clinically, the cysts are often small to large, mostly unilateral, but can also be bilateral. They are usually oval-shaped. Small cysts without infection may cause no symptoms in patients. Large cysts may cause a feeling of fullness or heaviness in the vulva.
Recommendation: Maintain vulvar hygiene, and treatment can be performed through a vaginal gland cyst fistulostomy to preserve glandular function while preventing infection. Treatment is usually outpatient-based and does not require hospitalization, with relatively low costs. The expenses are generally around 100 yuan, but there may be regional differences in fees.
