saturday night i was checking my vagina out (as you do ) and discovered a small cyst, the dr seems to think its a bartholins cyst, i was wondering if anyone else has had them ???

The Bartholin's glands are tiny glands located on each labia minora, near the vaginal opening. These glands are responsible for producing a small amount of fluid to lubricate the entrance to the vagina. The glands can become blocked, causing a cyst to develop. The cyst can become tender and, if large, can cause discomfort when walking/sitting. If the cyst is small and is asymptomatic it can just be monitored. Sometimes the cyst can become infected and an abscess develops. In these cases, the cysts or abscess can be drained by a doctor.
