Hello I m a 21 year old sexually active female. About a week ago I discovered a whitehead near the lower outter part of my vagina. I ve done some searching and I m lead to believe it might be a bartholin cyst. It s now just a lump no bigger than half a inch. It is painless but I m really worried about it becoming any bigger or that it means I ve caught any disease. Please help me
Hi dear thanks for writing in Healthcaremagic!! Bartholin's cyst occurs when there is blockage in bartholin's gland which is present near vaginal opening. Blockadge occurs due to infection, inflammation or physiological due to more secretions, can be of pea to egg size, realtively safe and a symptomatic. I advise as follow: 1) Maintain hygiene with savlon wash twice a day 2) If its painful then tab ibuprofen will be helpful 3) Use hot water shake to reduce the swelling size 4) Use cotton underwear 5) For Permanent relief you have to go for a surgical procedure marsupialization ( Kind of Incision and drainage) Hope this will help you Thanks and regards Dr.Sohil Takodara
