Bartholin duct cysts and gland abscesses can affect a woman's daily functioning and can be difficult to manage. Many uninfected Bartholin duct cysts remain asymptomatic and resolve spontaneously without intervention. However, an infected Bartholin duct cyst or glandular abscess should be drained when it is larger than 2 cm, as such cysts or abscesses do not tend to resolve on their own and may recur. Management options fall into 3 broad categories: pending, medical, or surgical.
Genital labia minora- Bartholin glands, located at the base of the labia minora, play a role in vaginal lubrication. Due to the presence of other glands, removal of a Bartholin gland does not affect lubrication. Ductal obstruction of these typically pea-sized structures can cause enlargement of the gland and subsequent development of Bartholin duct cysts or gland abscesses. Two percent of women will develop a cyst or abscess in their lifetime, and doctors should be familiar with the range of treatment options. Bartholin duct cysts and gland abscesses can be treated in the office. Healing and recurrence rates are similar between fistulization, marsupialization, and silver nitrate and alcohol sclerotherapy. Needle aspiration and the two simplest procedures, incision and drainage, are not recommended due to the relatively increased recurrence rate.
Bartholin gland abscess is one of the common infections of the vulva seen in women of reproductive age with a recurrence rate of up to 38%. Although encountered by many pediatric surgeons, it is very rarely reported in the prepubertal age. Bartholin gland abscess, although rare in children, should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of labial swelling. Adequate drainage is required to prevent recurrence.
In treatment; BARTHOLIN CYST DRAINAGE, BARTHOLIN CYST ABSCESS DRAINAGE,
Marsupialization of Bartholin Cyst is used in Bartholin Cyst Treatment and BARTHOLIN GLAND CYST AND ABSCESS TREATMENT CAN ALSO BE DONE WITH THE HELP OF CO2 LASER.
