What are the disadvantages of vestibular cystostomy in women?

Disadvantages of female vestibular cystostomy include susceptibility to infection, formation of hematoma and recurrence. Vestibular cysts, also known as Bartholin’s gland cysts, are caused by the obstruction of the opening of the vestibular gland ducts, which prevents secretions from being discharged. Clinical manifestations include the appearance of lumps in the vulva, and if the size of the cysts is relatively small and there is no infection, the patient will have no obvious symptoms. However, if the size of the cysts is large or there is a secondary infection, the patient will feel swelling and pain in the vulva, and it may even affect the ability to move around. Vestibular cystostomy is a commonly used treatment for vestibular cysts. The advantages of this surgery are that it is easy to perform and the incision is small, but the disadvantages are that infection, hematoma formation, or recurrence may occur after the surgery. No matter what kind of surgery has its disadvantages, it is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying their condition.
