What are the causes or etiology of Bartholin's cyst formation?

Patient's question:

In the past few days, I noticed a small tumor on my labia majora and suspect it might be a Bartholin's cyst. I want to understand the factors or causes.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Your condition is related to gynecological inflammation. When inflammation occurs, it blocks the opening of the Bartholin's glands, preventing fluid from draining, which leads to the formation of cysts.
Suggestions: You can take anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic treatment, or undergo surgical drainage. It's important to maintain good hygiene in the perineal area. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
