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.
Fenestration (to create an opening) is performed in order to drain the arachnoid cyst. The most recent studies of patients treated using the method called "Endoscopic Fenestration" indicate very good outcomes.
Bartholin glands are a common site of inflammation, when they become obstructed fluid will back up into the gland. The result is a Bartholin cyst, a relatively painless swelling, with pus and red inflamed tissue (abscess). Treatment depends on the size, the pain and whether the cyst is infected. (green-yellow discharge is an indication of infection.) Using a hot pack against the area, a clean cloth with very warm, not hot water for 10 minutes, 4 times a day, or a sitz bath - a small pan filled with warm water that you sit in, several times a day will help promote drainage and may allow the cyst to empty on it's own. Using a small bottle of warm water to clean the vaginal area after using the toilet, to clean thoroughly. Use a clean panty liner or change your panties after each time you hot pack, don't wear a thong at this time as it can irritate and spread germs. Cotton panties are preferable, as the material will breathe and not trap moisture against your skin. Your doctor may manually drain the cyst by making a small incision after using local anesthesia, this can be done in the office or if the cyst is very large, you and the doctor may opt to do this in the hospital. You may also need antibiotics to clear out any bacteria. Bartholin cysts can be persistent, they may need further treatment. A procedure called marsupialization is usually effective in preventing recurrences. Your doctor places small stitches on each side of an incision, creating a very small permanent opening, s/he may insert a small drainage tube to insure the cyst drains for a few days. The doctor will probably recommend sitz baths at this time also. Your doctor will most likely drain the abscess and give you antibiotics to get rid of any infection, before performing the marsupialization.
Cysts can appear at just about anyplace, anytime. They often show as a red, swollen mass, resembling a large pimple. Ouch! So how can you prevent it? Unfortunately, in most cases you can't, but there are some things you can do to make the dilemma less painful. Try sitting in a warm bath. This allows the cyst to soften and makes it easier to drain (and go away!) You could also try sitting on a heating pad. This soothes the cyst and allows the heat to help with the swelling in surrounding skin area. Most cysts are painful for a couple days, but often the pain resides with time, patience and the proper care.
It's a cyst that is found in a woman's fallopian tube. These should help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyst http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopian_tube
Physical therapy can help manage a baker's cyst by improving flexibility, strength, and range of motion in the affected joint. This can help reduce pain and swelling associated with the cyst and improve overall function of the joint.
No, it can't.
It could possibly be a cyst/ infection or fluid filled sac, go to the doctor. We have little glands (Bartholin's glands)either side of the opening to the vagina which help with lubrication. Sometimes one of them gets blocked and an infection develops. It is not serious but can be painful as well as smelly. go to the doctor.
The primary treatment for a hydatid cyst in the liver is surgical removal. This typically involves removal of the cyst and any associated material. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage the infection.
An ovarian cyst causes sharp pain in your abdomen, lower back, as well as rib cage. Answer No, it causes cramps.
The lubricating glands of the vagina include the Bartholin's glands and the Skene's glands. Bartholin's glands produce a small amount of mucus-like fluid to help lubricate the vagina during sexual arousal, while Skene's glands secrete fluid that may contribute to female ejaculation.
The greater vestibular glands are called Bartholin's glands, and the lesser vestibular glands are called Skene's glands. Both glands are located near the vaginal opening and produce fluids that help with lubrication and sexual function.
