If a patient has a Bartholin gland cyst that ruptures spontaneously, all she may need is hot sitz baths. Occasionally, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is indicated if secondary infection develops. Simple lancing and drainage of the Bartholin gland cyst is mentioned here only to discourage its routine use.
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.
A Bartholin cyst is a lump near the opening to your vagina. You may have pain in this area when you walk or have sex. A Bartholin cyst is caused by blockage of your Bartholin gland. You have a Bartholin gland on each side of your vagina. The glands produce fluid to moisten your vagina. Over time the fluid can build up in the gland and form a cyst.

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.
