Patient's question:
My girlfriend had a small bubble grow slightly inside her vaginal area near the entrance of the door. Two days ago, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but in the past few days, she hasn't felt anything except a foreign body sensation. Is this okay?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned might be a Bartholin's gland cyst, which is caused by the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After acute inflammation subsides, if the duct remains blocked and secretions cannot be expelled, pus gradually turns into clear fluid, forming a cyst. Sometimes, a cyst can also form due to thick mucus in the gland lumen or congenital narrowing of the duct, resulting in poor drainage. If secondary infection occurs, it may develop into an abscess with recurrent episodes. It is recommended to have the patient visit a hospital for a definitive diagnosis.
