Patient's question:
[Condition Description: I found multiple cysts in the vagina during a physical examination. There are no symptoms, only discomfort during sexual intercourse. Treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't received any treatment yet. What kind of help do I want: After consulting by phone, I want to have them removed.]Doctor's answer:
Hello, this patient. A vaginal cyst is a cystic lesion with a soft texture. Most of them protrude from the anterior or lateral walls of the vagina, while a few are located on the posterior wall. When the cyst is small, it may show no symptoms. Even during a gynecological examination, it requires careful attention to be detected. Generally speaking, vaginal cysts do not pose significant harm to the body and do not have the potential to become cancerous.Modern treatment methods are not only simple and easy to operate but also avoid the pain and damage associated with surgery. Ethanol can cause the epithelial cells of the cyst to degenerate, necrose, and lose their secretory function, while also leading to the atrophy and shedding of endothelial cells. As a result, the cyst can shrink and disappear. Most women can be cured after a single injection. However, it is important to note that sexual activity should be avoided for one month after the procedure.
Therefore, once a vaginal cyst is detected, it must be taken seriously, and timely medical treatment should be sought to avoid further complications.
