Patient's question:
There is a lump next to the vagina. Moreover, the menstrual period has also arrived. Perhaps it has been two or three days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. A Bartholin's gland cyst is formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. After the acute inflammation subsides, if the duct remains blocked, the secretions cannot be expelled, and the pus gradually turns into a clear fluid, forming a cyst. Sometimes, a thick mucus in the gland lumen or congenital narrowing of the duct can also cause poor drainage and lead to the formation of a cyst. If secondary infection occurs, it may form an abscess and recur repeatedly.
