A batholian cyst or abscess occurs when there is an infection in the Bartholin's glands, which are located on either side of the vaginal opening. E. coli and Staphylococcus bacteria can enter these glands, often due to trauma, sexual activity, or poor hygiene, leading to inflammation and blockage. The infection can result in the formation of a cyst filled with pus, causing pain, swelling, and discomfort. Treatment typically involves drainage of the abscess and, in some cases, antibiotics to target the underlying bacterial infection.
