Patient's question:
Over the past few days, I've noticed that my labia seem to be uneven in size—one side is larger than the other. When I press the larger side, I feel a small lump inside, but it doesn't hurt or itch. There are no obvious symptoms most of the time, except for occasional feelings of fullness in the genital area. It hasn't had any significant impact on my sex life.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description, it can be inferred that it is a Bartholin's gland cyst. Patients generally experience no discomfort, only feeling that one labia is larger than the other. Gynecological examination reveals: swelling in the lower 1/3 of the affected labia majora, with no significant tenderness, and the vaginal opening being pushed to the healthy side. Currently, the puncture and tube placement surgery is commonly used. This surgery has minimal trauma and less bleeding. It can still be performed even if there is superficial infection on the abscess surface, and it preserves the physiological function of the greater vestibular glands and the normal shape of the external genitalia. After treatment, the local area of the external genitalia should be kept clean and hygienic. Avoid wearing synthetic underwear, change underwear frequently, and prevent contamination from vaginal secretions, urine, and feces.
