There are two Bartholin glands on either side of the entrance to the vagina in females. The signs of a Bartholin cyst include a small lump in the vulva that does not cause any pain, inflammation of the vulva and feeling uncomfortable during sex or while walking.

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

What do you do when you've had marsupialization on a bartholins cyst and then never healed up after the surgery?
It may be that you are experiencing exactly what you are supposed to. Marsupialization of a Bartholin's cyst is supposed to leave a small opening when it is complete. This is so that the cyst is much less likely to become infected and form an abscess after the surgery. If, on the other hand, you still have signs of infection (redness, soreness, swelling, and/or drainage), then you should see your doctor.
