What Is a Bartholin's Cyst Consultation?

A Bartholin's Cyst consultation focuses on evaluating swelling and pain caused by blockage of the Bartholin gland, located near the vaginal opening. If the cyst becomes infected, it may form an abscess, causing significant pain, redness, and warmth. Providers assess the severity, infection signs, size of the cyst, and whether drainage or additional treatment may be necessary.

The goal is to relieve pain, reduce infection risk, and guide safe and effective treatment options.

What We Review During Your Consultation:
  • Swelling or lump near the vaginal opening
  • Tenderness, warmth, or redness in the affected area
  • Pain while walking, sitting, or during intimacy
  • Discharge or signs of possible infection
  • Cyst size and progression pattern
  • Assessment for possible abscess formation
  • Treatment recommendations and prevention habits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What causes a Bartholin's Cyst?

A Bartholin's Cyst forms when the duct of the Bartholin gland becomes blocked, often due to irritation, inflammation, or infection. Fluid builds up, creating a cyst that may grow or become painful.

What are signs of a Bartholin's abscess?

Severe pain, significant swelling, redness, warmth, difficulty sitting or walking, fever, or discharge may indicate an abscess requiring prompt medical care.

Is a Bartholin's Cyst dangerous?

Most cysts are harmless but can become painful or infected. Evaluation helps determine the severity and need for treatment.

How is a Bartholin's Cyst treated?

Treatment depends on severity and may include warm compresses, sitz baths, antibiotics if infected, and in some cases drainage procedures. Providers guide appropriate next steps.

Can a Bartholin's Cyst go away on its own?

Small, painless cysts may resolve naturally. Painful or infected cysts typically require evaluation and sometimes medical treatment.

Can this condition be evaluated at home?

Yes. In-home evaluation provides comfort and privacy while assessing symptoms, severity, and infection risks. Providers guide whether additional in-clinic care is necessary.

What increases the risk of Bartholin's Cysts?

Risk factors include friction, infection, history of cysts, poor hygiene, sexual activity, and previous blockage of the Bartholin duct.

Will my insurance cover evaluation for Bartholin's Cyst?

Most insurance plans cover evaluation for vaginal swelling, infection symptoms, and cyst-related pain. Coverage varies by plan, copay, and deductible.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Track symptom onset, note any discharge or fever, avoid squeezing or draining the cyst yourself, and bring your medical and medication history to the visit.
