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 a Bartholin's 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 sense of fullness or pressure in the external genitalia.
Recommendation: Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. Treatment can be performed through a vaginal gland cyst fistulostomy, preserving the function of the gland. Pay attention to preventing infection.
Generally, the treatment can be done in an outpatient setting and does not require hospitalization. The cost should be relatively low. It is usually around 100 yuan, but there may be regional differences in fees.
