- Bartholin’s glands (BAHR-toe-linz) are located on either side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete fluid that lubricates the vagina.
- Sometimes the openings in these glands become blocked, causing fluid to flow back into the gland. The result is a relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin’s cyst. If the fluid in the cyst becomes infected, you may develop a collection of pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess).
- Bartholin’s cyst or abscess is common. Treatment for a Bartholin’s cyst depends on the size of the cyst, the pain in the cyst, and the infection of the cyst.
- Sometimes home treatment is all you need. In other cases, surgical drainage of the Bartholin’s cyst is required. In the event of infection, antibiotics can be helpful in treating the infected Bartholin’s cyst. Bartholin’s cyst Treatment in Hyderabad
