How Can A Recurrent Bartholin Cyst Be Treated?
Hi,
I have suffered from bartholin since a child and this year have had it drained, it returned again and popped on its own, later returned the next month and I had a word catheter inserted, one month later the lump is beginning to come back again. What should I do, it is very distressing?

Hello,
The Bartholin cyst is known to reappear anytime even after drainage. In our clinic, we recommend wide excision under general anesthesia to reduce the chances of reappearance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
