Does Bartholin S Gland Cyst Condition Get Aggrevated During Menstruation?

I started getting Bartholin s Gland Cysts right after I turned 20. I am now 24 and am suffering from the biggest one I ve ever had. It s about the size of a golf ball. It seemed to be going away after about 4 days as usual but my period came on and 2 pelvic cysts formed and disappeared after my period ended but the gland got bigger! Does a woman s period affect the gland as well?

Hi,

Yes, it can affect its size. You may need to do a biopsy from this cyst to know exactly the nature of it.

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