Diagnosis and analysis of Bartholin's gland cyst

Bartholin's gland cyst can be diagnosed by the location and appearance of the cyst and the absence of inflammation on local palpation. If necessary, local puncture can be performed to differentiate it from abscesses. The resected cyst can be confirmed by pathological examination. It should be differentiated from labia majora inguinal hernia, which has an impulse like inguinal mass. When holding the breath downward, the mass swells slightly and percussion produces a tympanic sound, which usually appears suddenly after excessive force. It should also be differentiated from Bartholin's gland inflammation, endometriosis cyst, paraurethral gland abscess, and lymphedema.

diagnosis

Unilateral cystic tumors at the lower end of the labia majora appear in women of childbearing age. There are no obvious subjective symptoms, mucus is found during puncture, and the size is affected by sexual stimulation. The diagnosis can be confirmed by pathological examination. The cyst is generally not difficult to diagnose based on its location, appearance, or the absence of local signs of inflammation. Local puncture can be performed when necessary, and its contents can be differentiated from Bartholinitis, abscess, lymphedema, etc.

Differential Diagnosis

Differentiation from labia majora and inguinal hernia: The hernia is connected to the inguinal ring, and can be reset and disappear when squeezed. The lump can be felt when coughing, and it swells slightly when holding the breath downward. There is a drum sound when tapping, and it often appears suddenly when excessive force is applied.

It should also be differentiated from Bartholinitis, endometrioma, paraurethral gland abscess, and lymphedema.
