Understanding Bartholin's Cysts and Abscesses: Get Relief at Aster OB/GYN
Bartholin's glands, located near the vaginal opening, play a role in lubrication. When these glands become blocked, it can lead to a Bartholin's cyst, a fluid-filled swelling. If the cyst becomes infected, it can develop into an abscess, causing pain and discomfort.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Tender lump near the vaginal opening
- Discomfort while walking, sitting, or during intercourse
- Fever (if an abscess is present)
