What is Bartholin cyst ??????
Question:
Answers:
The Bartholin's glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the ducts of these glands become obstructed causing fluid to back up into the gland, resulting in relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin cyst. At times, this fluid may become infected, creating a small area of pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess). Signs and symptoms of such an infection may include redness, warmth, pain or tenderness near the vaginal opening.
A Bartholin cyst or abscess is uncommon. The condition occurs most frequently in women between 20 and 29 years of age.
Treatment of Bartholin cyst depends on the size of the cyst, how painful it is and whether it's infected. Sometimes, soaking in warm water (sitz bath) allows the cyst or abscess to rupture spontaneously. In other cases, surgical drainage of the Bartholin cyst may be necessary. If an infection is present, your doctor may also recommend antibiotics to treat the Bartholin cyst.
Well, it definitely doens't have anything to do with the heart:) It's a gland on female part that can get inflamed (often times due to hormonal changes) and looks kinda like a blister...very easily cured
A cyst located just inside of the entrance to the vagina
The Bartholin glands are located at the entrance to a woman's vagina, one on each side. They are small and cannot be seen or felt when they are normal. Their function is to secrete fluid onto the mucosal (inner) surface of the labia—the liplike skin surrounding the vagina.
Problems with the Bartholin glands include cysts, which are relatively painless enlargements of the gland, and abscesses, which are infections of the gland. Typically only 1 of the 2 glands is affected.
