Bartholin’s gland cysts are medically known as vestibular gland cysts. Vestibular gland cysts don’t recur for no reason, and recurrence may be caused by vestibulitis, injury, and congenital factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause and treat it under the doctor’s guidance.
1. Vestibular adenitis: If the patient has vestibular adenitis, it will lead to narrowing of the gland ducts, and the gland ducts will be blocked after the abscess subsides, and the pus will be absorbed and replaced by mucus, which will lead to the formation of vestibular cysts, and if the vestibular adenitis is recurring, it will also lead to the recurrence of vestibular cysts.
2. Injury: The recurrence of vestibular cysts may be caused by injury. The scar tissue formed after vaginal and perineal injuries during childbirth can block the mouth of the gland ducts, including the gland ducts cut off during perineal circumcision, which can lead to the secretions in the glands not being able to be discharged, and after accumulating to a certain degree for a long period of time, they will produce vestibular cysts.
3. Congenital factors: Vestibular cysts can also be caused by congenital narrowing of the gland ducts, which are located on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen, blocking the gland ducts when there is too much secretion, which leads to vestibular cysts.
There are many reasons for the recurrence of vestibular cysts, and it is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention to identify the cause of the disease and actively treat it.
