Can a Bartholin cyst cause discomfort without infection?
1 month ago
I have a small lump near the vaginal opening that isn't red or extremely painful. It mainly feels uncomfortable while sitting for a long time. Can a Bartholin cyst cause this even when there is no infection?

Yes, a Bartholin cyst can cause discomfort even without an active infection. When the Bartholin gland’s duct becomes blocked, fluid accumulates and forms a cyst that may feel like a painless or mildly uncomfortable lump near the vaginal opening, especially noticeable during prolonged sitting. While uninfected cysts are often manageable, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.
