Patient's question:
Description of the problem: A Bartholin's gland cyst on the right side of the vulva, without pain, itching, or discomfort when avoiding spicy foods. A hard lump can be felt under the skin with the hand, and occasional swelling occurs, but it can be resolved by slightly adjusting the diet. I would like to ask the expert, how is this condition formed? Is surgical removal necessary?Doctor's answer:
Since Bartholin's cysts can persist for a long time and remain unchanged for years, if they do not interfere with daily life, they can be monitored regularly without treatment. If the cyst gradually grows or recurs with frequent infections, forming abscesses, a Bartholin's cyst drainage procedure can be performed.
