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.
ICD-10 code N75. 0 for Cyst of Bartholin's gland is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
56740CPT CODING: 56740: Excision of Bartholin's gland cyst.
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPTⓇ) code used to describe incision and drainage of a Bartholin cyst and placement of a Word catheter is as follows: 56420 Incision and drainage of Bartholin's gland abscess* *CPT code 56420 includes the placement and removal of the Word catheter.
Bartholin's gland excision is an outpatient procedure where an opening is made in the skin overlying the abscess, and the entire Bartholin's gland is then removed. The Bartholin's Gland is located just outside the opening of the vagina. It secretes mucous to lubricate the vagina.
A If the cyst was excised, code 57135 (excision of vaginal cyst or tumor), is appropriate.
11420. EXCISION, BENIGN LESION INCLUDING MARGINS, EXCEPT SKIN TAG (UNLESS LISTED ELSEWHERE), SCALP, NECK, HANDS, FEET, GENITALIA; EXCISED DIAMETER 0.5 CM OR LESS. 11421.
CPT code 10080 is used for a simple incision and drainage with local wound care to facilitate healing. And CPT code 10081 for a complicated incision and drainage which includes placement of a drain or packing with gauze. For percutaneous aspiration of abscess, hematoma, bulla or cyst, procedure code 10160 is used.
I&D of a superficial perianal abscess (46050) typically performed in the surgeon's office is the simplest of anal I&D procedures. Use 46040 if the abscess is perirectal and/or ischiorectal but do not use 46040 if another procedure is performed in the same anatomical region.

Gland removal If cyst recurrence is an issue, doctors can surgically remove the Bartholin's duct glands. This surgery takes place under general anesthetic and takes about an hour. Doctors may recommend surgery for people over the age of 40 who have newly developed cysts.
You may need surgery to drain a cyst that's infected or very large. Drainage of a cyst can be done using local anesthesia or sedation. For the procedure, your doctor makes a small incision in the cyst, allows it to drain, and then places a small rubber tube (catheter) in the incision.
Removal (excision) of a Bartholin gland cyst is a minor surgical procedure. Because the vulva has an extensive blood supply, removing a Bartholin gland cyst can cause bleeding. This is best treated in a surgical setting.
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.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code N75.0 and a single ICD9 code, 616.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

Due to their size, they can easily become blocked or obstructed by bacteria and cause a cyst or abscess Most Bartholin’s cyst are asymptomatic and resolve on their own.
Sitz baths and time are usually the first line of treatment. In most instances, the cyst will rupture on it’s own. However, if conservative treatment does not work, an incision and drainage may be done with a word catheter inserted into the cyst space.
The physician will grasp the cyst and create a vertical incision between 1.5 and 3.0 cm long. This will drain the gland cavity. After that the cyst will be open and the physician will suture the edges of the sit to form a continuous surface from the exterior surface to the interior surface of the cyst.
