## Caption

A Bartholin's cyst, also called a Bartholin's duct cyst, is a small fluid-filled sac just inside the opening of the v4g1na.

It’s named after the Bartholin glands, which are two small glands that produce the fluid (mucus) that help lubricate the v4g1na.

A Bartholin cyst occurs when a blockage happens at the openings of one of these glands causing the mucus to build up. 

You may feel a soft, painless lump. This does not usually cause any problems. But if the cyst grows very large, it can become noticeable and uncomfortable.

If the cyst becomes infected, it can cause a painful collection of pus (abscess) to develop in one of the Bartholin's glands.

If you do not have any noticeable symptoms, it's unlikely you'll need treatment.

If the cyst is painful, your doctor may recommend some simple self-care measures, such as Sitz Baths(soaking the cyst in warm water several times a day for 3 or 4 days), and taking pain medication. 

If these do not work, several treatments are available to treat the pain and any infection. If necessary, the cyst can be drained.

You should never squeeze, pop or insert sharp objects like needles into a cyst to force it to open. This can cause injury and spread infection.
