Bartholin Cyst Treatment in Karimnagar – KK Virat Hospital

Bartholin Cysts can be treated in multiple ways depending on their size, severity, and symptoms. Here are the available treatment options:

1. Small and Non-Infected Bartholin Cyst

If you feel a fluid-filled lump but experience minimal pain, the cyst is likely not infected. In such cases, taking sitz baths (soaking the infected area in warm water) 2-3 times a day can help. If the cyst becomes painful or starts enlarging, contact your gynecologist immediately.

2. Infected and Painful Bartholin Cyst

A swollen and painful cyst indicates the presence of an abscess due to bacterial infection. Treatment includes antibiotics and pain-relieving medications to reduce inflammation and discomfort.

3. Large, Infected, and Extremely Painful Bartholin Cyst

A severely swollen cyst with unbearable pain and pus requires surgical drainage. The procedure involves making a small incision and inserting a temporary drainage pipe (if needed) to ensure complete drainage.

4. Painful and Recurring Bartholin Cyst

For cysts that keep recurring, a marsupialization procedure is recommended. This involves making a slightly larger incision to drain the pus and creating a temporary pouch to prevent future recurrences.

• Treatment for large, infected, and painful Bartholin cysts
• Prevention of recurring Bartholin cysts
• Ensures complete drainage and healing

To determine the severity and treatment course, the following diagnostic tests may be recommended:

• Biopsy: If the patient is post-menopausal, to screen for cancer
• Pelvic Exam: To assess the size and nature of the cyst
• Swab Test: To check for infections
