Quick Summary:

  • Bartholin glands are glands that are present normally on either side of the women’s genital area namely, the vagina. Their function is to secrete a fluid into the vagina, in order to make the vaginal opening smooth and slippery
  • When the duct of the bartholin glands gets blocked, the fluid gets accumulated and causes the gland to swell and form a cyst. This medical condition is termed as a Bartholin Gland Cyst
  • A Bartholin Gland Cyst is a painless enlargement or swelling of the bartholin gland, while a bartholin gland abscess is infection of the gland. Generally, at any particular time, the bartholin gland cyst or abscess occurs only on one side of the vagina
  • Bartholin Gland Cyst affects women who are in their reproductive age. A lump in the vaginal area and discomfort while walking are the most common symptoms of a Bartholin Gland Cyst
  • Only symptomatic cysts need treatment, and this usually involves a surgical drainage of the fluid. The prognosis of Bartholin Gland Cyst is excellent with appropriate treatment
