Vestibular gland cysts

Most vestibular gland cysts develop gradually due to obstruction of the vestibular ducts and accumulation of secretions that cannot be drained. Acute vestibular gland abscesses, blockage of the ducts after the inflammation has subsided, or damage to the vestibular gland, such as scarring from common perineal and vaginal lacerations, or damage to the ducts from lateral perineal incision during childbirth, can lead to vestibular gland cysts. During gynecological examination, cysts can be seen unilaterally or sometimes bilaterally. If the cysts are small and not infected, and the patient has no obvious conscious symptoms, they can be observed regularly and no special treatment is needed. If the cyst is large, the patient can obviously feel a feeling of swelling in the vulva or discomfort during sexual intercourse, or if an abscess is formed, then vestibular gland cyst stoma, incision and drainage are feasible.
