What is a Bartholin cysts?

A Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland (two glands located slightly below and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina in women. They secrete mucus to provide lubrication.2) is blocked, causing a cyst to develop. If infection sets in, the result is a Bartholin's abscess. If the infection is severe or repeated a surgical procedure known as marsupialization may be required to stop further recurrences. Most of the time, a Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection. The cysts that are infected, however, are called abscesses. A cyst can grow from the size of a penny to almost the size of a whole orange but most of them can only reach the size of a Golf ball. Cysts can be sexually transmitted by the germs that are contained in the cysts. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholin%27s_cyst 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholin%27s_gland

You should have ob/gyn check out your Bartholin's gland for a cyst or infection. Although unusual, it is possible for the Bartholin's glands to become irritated or infected, resulting in pain.[4] If the duct becomes obstructed, a Bartholin's cyst can develop, and a Bartholin's cyst in turn can become infected and form an abscess. Carcinoma of the gland is rare, but benign tumors and hyperplasia are even more rare.
