What should you know about sanhi ng bartholin cyst?

The Bartholin glands make fluid that helps lubricate the vaginal opening. If a duct becomes blocked, a cyst may develop on one side near the lower vaginal entrance. A small cyst may cause little discomfort, while a larger one can create pressure or pain when walking, sitting or having sex.

An abscess is an infected collection and may cause rapidly increasing pain, swelling, warmth, redness, pus or fever. A new lump needs examination because several conditions can look similar, particularly when the lump is firm, persistent or appears later in adulthood.

For a small, mildly uncomfortable cyst, a warm bath or warm compress may ease symptoms. Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing, piercing or attempting to drain it yourself. Wear comfortable clothing and use clinician-approved pain relief if needed.

Arrange a gynaecology review if the lump is painful, growing, recurring or interfering with daily activities. Treatment may involve drainage and a small procedure that creates a lasting opening so fluid can escape. Antibiotics may be considered when infection is present or for particular clinical reasons.

Seek same-day medical advice for severe pain, rapidly increasing swelling, fever, pus or difficulty walking or sitting. Get urgent help if you feel faint, confused or seriously unwell. Do not delay assessment of a persistent, hard or unusual vulval lump.

Ask whether the lump is a cyst or abscess, whether drainage is needed, how to manage recurrence and whether a sample or follow-up examination is appropriate. Ask which wound-care steps, activity limits and warning signs apply after treatment.
