Will A Bartholin Cyst Go Away with Antibiotics?
Part 2 Part 2 of 3: Trying Medical Treatments
More often, however, a lump in this area is from a Bartholin gland cyst, which is much more common (and is not a cancer). Soreness and a red, scaly area are symptoms of Paget disease of the vulva.
Causes. Experts believe that the cause of a Bartholin's cyst is a backup of fluid. Fluid may accumulate when the opening of the gland (duct) becomes obstructed, perhaps caused by infection or injury. A Bartholin's cyst can become infected, forming an abscess.

CPT CODING: 56740: Excision of Bartholin's gland cyst.
A Bartholin's cyst, also called a Bartholin's duct cyst, is a small fluid-filled sac just inside the opening of the vagina.
A Bartholin cyst is a buildup of fluid that occurs if the opening of the gland is blocked. A Bartholin abscess may occur if the cyst fluid becomes infected. The Bartholin cyst or abscess appears as a lump or swelling on the side of the vaginal opening.
A If the cyst was excised, code 57135 (excision of vaginal cyst or tumor), is appropriate.

Vaginal discharge is a clear or whitish fluid that comes out of the vagina. The uterus, cervix or vagina can produce the fluid.
Experts believe that the cause of a Bartholin's cyst is a backup of fluid. Fluid may accumulate when the opening of the gland (duct) becomes obstructed, perhaps caused by infection or injury. A Bartholin's cyst can become infected, forming an abscess.
Boils and cysts can both look like bumps on your skin. The main difference between a cyst and a boil is that a boil is a bacterial or fungal infection. Most cysts are slow-growing and benign (noncancerous), and they aren't contagious. Boils, on the other hand, can spread bacteria or fungi on contact.
A Bartholin cyst (or vulvar cyst) is a type of vaginal cyst that forms on either side of the labia (vaginal lips) near the opening of the vagina. It's named after the Bartholin glands, which are two small glands that produce the fluid (mucus) that help lubricate the vagina.
You may see or feel sores, bumps, or spots in or around the vaginal area. These may be painful or you may not feel them at all. Sores and lumps may be symptoms of an STD. Causes of lumps, growths, or swelling could be due to a number of reasons, including skin tags, human papillomavirus (HPV), or a cyst.
Vaginal cysts are most likely to occur when a duct or gland becomes clogged, causing liquid and other materials to collect. The cause of a vaginal cyst usually determines its type. For example, injury to the vaginal walls causes inclusion cysts.
A Bartholin's cyst, also known as Bartholinitis occurs when a Bartholin's gland is blocked and the gland becomes inflamed. Sizes range from that of a pea to that of an egg and form just within each side of the lower part of the opening of the vagina. An abscess may form if the cyst becomes infected.
