Patient's question:
I have been experiencing continuous bleeding since my period last month. My period hasn't stopped, and I still have constant abdominal pain. The blood flow is so heavy that it feels like my body is about to run out of blood. I'm very scared. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and after the doctor examined me, they suspected I might have a Bartholin's gland cyst or an external genital malignancy. They told me to get further tests for a definitive diagnosis. I don't understand the differences between these two conditions, and hearing the word "tumor" sends me into a panic.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bartholin's cyst is a common and frequently occurring disease in women. It is usually treated by surgical removal, and there is no risk of malignancy. However, vulvar malignant tumors are malignant and can spread, rapidly destroying the structure and function of surrounding tissues and organs.
