Bartholin’s cyst usually breaks in a few days

  Bartholin’s gland cysts, or vestibular gland cysts, do not usually rupture spontaneously without bacterial infection within the cyst, so it is impossible to tell when the cyst will rupture.  Bartholin’s cysts only indicate an obstruction of the opening of the vestibular canal and fluid accumulation in the cavity. However, Bartholin’s cysts grow slowly and the vulvar skin of women is very stretchable, so they usually do not rupture spontaneously due to the increase in size of Bartholin’s cysts. However, if there is a bacterial infection in the Bartholin’s gland cyst, it can lead to the appearance of an abscess. When the pressure in the abscess increases, the skin on the surface becomes thinner and the abscess can rupture about 1 week after the infection, and it can be accompanied by significant pain. If the hole is large, the inflammation can subside quickly, but if the hole is small and the drainage is poor, the inflammation continues to not subside and is prone to recurrence.  It is recommended that women who have a Bartholin’s cyst go to a hospital and undergo a Bartholin’s cyst stoma, which is a stoma that is sutured after the cyst has been peeled off, so that the function of the gland can be preserved and the drainage is unobstructed and recurrence can be prevented.
