Bartholin cyst develops when the duct of the Bartholin gland, located on either side of the vaginal opening, becomes blocked. This causes fluid to accumulate and form a painless lump that may grow over time. While many cysts remain small and harmless, they can become painful or infected if left untreated. Early evaluation helps prevent discomfort and ensures timely treatment.
Bartholin Cyst can be treated in multiple ways depending on its size, severity, and symptoms.

To detect the severity and course of treatment for Bartholin cysts, you may be recommended the following tests:

Marsupialization: It is a minor surgical procedure performed under local/ spinal/ general anesthesia depending on the severity of the cyst/ patient’s personal choice.
The gynecologist first makes a nick to drain the pus and then enlarges the incision slightly to create a temporary ‘kangaroo pouch’ on the labial lips. This helps support fuller drainage over a period of a few weeks. If needed, the ends of the incision may be stitched outwards or a catheter may be placed to drain the pus.
This method helps push the complete pus out of the cyst which may or may not be otherwise visible to the naked eye and thus helps prevent Bartholin cyst recurrence.
