Brief Answer:
Probably Bartholin's cyst, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I already reviewed the attached report.

Your symptoms seem to be related to Bartholin's cyst.

It usually remains asymptomatic.

It can become painful in case it gets infected.

I recommend to use anti inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen three times a day in case of pain.

I also recommend to soaking in a tub filled with a few inches of warm water.

If it does not go away you may need surgery to drain a cyst.

In this case I suggest to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
It can be sinister.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,


Bartholin gland cysts are located in near the vagina in both sides.

Usually they are asymptomatic and not dangerous. If you notice a hard (like a stone) fixed mass then you need to worry and consult your gynecologist.

They can however get infected, then they become painful and infection can spread, so needs to be managed appropriately.

Hope it helps dear.

Take care,

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
