A Bartholin’s cyst, also referred to as Bartholin’s duct cyst is a small, closed fluid-filled pocket of tissue -a relatively painless swelling formed inside the Bartholin’s gland.
The Bartholin’s gland is present in a pair and situated on either side of the vaginal opening. Both the glands are about pea-size, rarely seen larger than 1cm (0.4 inches) across. They secrete fluids that travel down through tiny tubes called ducts into the vagina to keep it moist. However, there might be cases where the opening of Bartholin’s gland becomes blocked, causing the fluids inside to backflow. As a result, Bartholin’s cyst develops. If the fluid inside the Bartholin’s cyst becomes infected, pus may collect which gets surrounded by the inflamed tissue- known as an abscess.
Both Bartholin cysts and abscesses are common female reproductive health issues. Mostly, a Bartholin cyst does not hurt and is almost always non-cancerous or benign.
A small, non-infected Bartholin’s cyst often goes unnoticed. If the cyst grows in size, women might feel a mass or lump close to their vaginal opening and start to feel uncomfortable. Usually, a Bartholin cyst is painless and soft.
In a matter of days, an infection can set in and when a Bartholin cyst gets infected, women may experience the following symptoms:
Typically, a Bartholin’s cyst or abscess develops on only one side of the vaginal opening. Sometimes, the cyst can be large enough to affect labia majora- the outer pair of lips surrounding the vagina. As a result, one side of the vagina may look bigger or swollen than usual and hang lower than the other.

Several factors can cause the Bartholin’s gland to become obstructed and this leads to a backup of fluid, perhaps it may be due to an injury or infection. Infection may be caused by bacteria such as E. coli. Rarely, the infection is linked to sexually transmitted bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea.
Typically, a Bartholin’s gland cyst occurs at the age of 20s when females are more sexually active and is less likely to develop in older women, especially after menopause because it causes shrinkage of the gland. These cysts usually do not affect young women or girls as the Bartholin’s gland does not start functioning until adolescence. The Bartholin cysts are expected to be seen in about 2 out of 10 women at some point in their lives.
