What are the differences between Bartholin's cysts and vaginal wall cysts?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Bartholin's cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After the resolution of acute inflammation, if the duct remains blocked, secretions cannot be expelled, gradually transforming into clear fluid and forming a cyst. At times, thick mucus within the glandular cavity or congenital duct can also result in cyst formation.
Recommendation: Bartholin's cyst is the most common type of benign vaginal tumor. The normal vagina does not contain glands, but isolated ectopic crypts may occasionally be found, leading to the formation of fluid-filled retention cysts, which are not neoplastic or proliferative tumors. It is recommended to clarify the specific location!
