What is a vulval cyst?

A vulval cyst is an encapsulated lesion that contains fluid or semi-fluid material occurring on the external female genitalia. Vulval cysts can develop from any of the structures normally found in this complex area.

Who gets vulval cysts?

Females of any age can present with a vulval cyst; however, a particular type of cyst may be more common in a specific age group.

What causes vulval cysts?

Vulval cysts can be developmental, genetic, post-traumatic, or spontaneous.

What are the clinical features of vulval cysts?

Vulval cysts are dome-shaped, firm or fluctuant, discrete lesions which may be asymptomatic and noticed incidentally, or present due to pain or dyspareunia which may be cyclic, intermittent, or persistent. The location or distribution of the cysts can be characteristic for a particular type of cyst.

See Vulval cyst images.

Common cutaneous cysts on the vulva

Milium

Vulval milia are 1–2 mm, white cysts very commonly seen on examination of the labia of older women. The patient may be aware of the multiple small lumps, but typically they are asymptomatic and an incidental finding.

Epidermoid cyst

Epidermoid cysts are commonly found on the cutaneous aspect of the labia majora of middle-aged and elderly women. The cysts may be solitary or multiple, spontaneous or post-surgical, usually presenting as a painless lump up to a centimetre in diameter. Giant epidermoid cyst of the vulva has been described.

Cysts specific to the vulval area

Bartholin and Skene duct cysts

Cysts of the Bartholin gland or Skene duct contain clear mucoid fluid. Bartholin glands are located towards the back and side of the introitus at the 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock positions. Skene glands are adjacent to the distal urethra. Cysts may present as a lump, or as painful swelling if the cyst has become infected and an abscess has formed. Bartholin duct cysts are reported to affect 2% of adult women at some time in their life. Skene duct cysts can also present in neonates. Diagnosis is usually made by the anatomic location of the cyst.

Vestibular mucinous cyst

Mucinous cysts develop from minor vestibular glands found on the inner labia minora along Hart lines. Cysts may be found incidentally, present as a palpable lump noticed by the patient, or cause pain should the cyst become inflamed. Vestibular mucinous cysts typically develop between puberty and the fourth decade.

Cyst of the canal of Nuck

A cyst of the canal of Nuck is a developmental anomaly due to incomplete closure of the round ligament and is the equivalent of a spermatic cord hydrocele in males. It presents as a skin-coloured, asymptomatic swelling located in the inguinal area and labium majorum, resembling an inguinal hernia. It is usually detected by five years of age.

Gartner cyst

A Gartner, or mesonephric, cyst develops in remnants of an incompletely regressed mesonephric duct. The mesonephric duct forms the male sexual organs, so should regress completely in the female fetus. Persistent mesonephric duct remnants in a female are usually associated with congenital abnormalities of the metanephric urinary system such as an ectopic ureter, unilateral renal agenesis or hypoplasia. A Gartner cyst is a small solitary unilateral cyst on the front vaginal wall towards one side, which may bulge to present as an interlabial mass in late adolescence.

Ciliated cyst of the vulva

At the ninth week of gestation, the paramesonephric duct develops into the fallopian tube. Remnants of this duct can form a ciliated, or paramesonephric, cyst found incidentally on the labium majorum during pregnancy, puberty, or with other hormonal influences. The lesion is usually a single cyst cavity, 1–3 cm in diameter, and drains clear or amber-coloured fluid if ruptured.

Cutaneous cysts that may occur on the vulva

Eruptive vellus hair cysts

Eruptive vellus hair cysts present as multiple small yellow-brown papules usually on the front of the trunk but have been rarely reported on the labia majora.

Steatocystoma

Steatocystoma is an autosomal dominant skin condition resulting in an abnormal proliferation of the pilosebaceous duct junction. The resultant skin papules drain an oily fluid when punctured. Involvement localised to the vulva has been rarely reported as a late-onset sporadic condition.

Pilonidal cyst

Pilonidal disease is usually found at the upper end of the gluteal cleft, but has been reported as a painless papule or nodule on the vulva, particularly in the area around the clitoris, due to an ingrown hair forming a dermoid cyst.

Endometriosis

Cutaneous endometriosis can rarely occur on the vulva at the site of previous obstetric or surgical trauma. It presents as nodules, patches, or cysts filled with fresh or clotted blood.

What are the complications of vulval cysts?

• Cyst rupture
• Inflammation and infection
• Pressure effects
• Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse)

How is a vulval cyst diagnosed?

Diagnosis of a vulval cyst is usually clinical based on the age at presentation, location, and appearance. Ultrasound examination or histology of a skin biopsy or excision specimen may sometimes be required.

What is the differential diagnosis for a vulval cyst?

• Vascular lesions — cherry angioma, angiokeratoma, haemangioma, varicosities
• Infections — viral wart, herpes simplex virus, bullous impetigo
• Inflammatory conditions — sebaceous adenitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, bullous fixed drug eruption
• Vulval cancer

What is the treatment for a vulval cyst?

The majority of vulval cysts do not require treatment once the diagnosis has been made. Cysts may be drained, marsupialised, extracted, or excised.

What is the outcome for a vulval cyst?

Vulval cysts are generally benign. Some may resolve or rupture spontaneously. Recurrence can follow surgical intervention particularly if the entire cyst wall has not been removed.

What is an epidermoid cyst?

An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst derived from the infundibulum or upper portion of a hair follicle, encapsulated in a thin layer of epidermis-like epithelium. Epidermoid cysts are typically filled with keratin and lipid-rich debris [1,2].

Synonyms for an epidermoid cyst include:

• Epidermal cyst
• Epidermal inclusion cyst
• Epithelial cyst
• Follicular infundibular cyst
• Infundibular cyst
• Keratin cyst
• Sebaceous cyst (this is a common misnomer, as these cysts do not involve sebaceous glands, nor do they contain sebum).

Palpating an epidermoid cyst

Who gets an epidermoid cyst?

Epidermoid cysts most commonly occur in adults, particularly when young-to-middle aged. They occur twice as frequently in men than in women [3].

Genetic disorders which may increase the risk of developing multiple epidermoid cysts include [1]:

• Gardner syndrome
• Pachyonychia congenita type 2
• Basal cell naevus syndrome.

Syndromes associated with epidermoid cysts

Gardner syndrome

What causes an epidermoid cyst?

An epidermoid cyst generally results from an occluded pilosebaceous unit.

On non-hair-bearing areas of the body, such as the buttock, palm of the hand, or sole of the foot, an epidermoid cyst may be due to traumatic implantation of epidermal cells into the dermis where keratin accumulates within an epithelium-lined sac [2].

What are the clinical features of an epidermoid cyst?

The clinical features of an epidermoid cyst include [4]:

• A firm, flesh-coloured or yellowish round papule or nodule fixed to the skin surface but typically mobile over deeper layers
• Diameter 1–3 cm
• A central punctum
• Foul-smelling cheesy debris can be expressed from the central punctum.

Epidermoid cysts are most common on the central trunk (eg, chest and shoulders) and face but can occur almost anywhere on the body. Epidermoid cysts are common the scrotum and vulva. They may be solitary or multiple, and are generally asymptomatic.

Ruptured cyst

What are the complications of an epidermoid cyst?

Rupture of the cyst contents into the dermis results in swelling, redness, and tenderness. This can be due to trauma or bacterial infection, commonly by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and group A streptococcus [1].

Surgical excision can lead to bleeding, secondary bacterial infection, and scarring. If the cyst has ruptured, or the capsule is not removed in its entirety, the cyst may recur.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma may very rarely arise within an epidermoid cyst [5].

Inflamed cyst

How is an epidermoid cyst diagnosed?

The diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst is usually made clinically.

Biopsy is usually not required but the lesion may be excised for cosmetic reasons or due to complications. Histological features of an epidermoid cyst include [1]:

• A cystic structure in the dermis
• A single cavity (unilocular)
• An epithelial lining without rete ridges and with a granular layer with keratinohyaline granules.

Ultrasound can be used in the initial evaluation of a soft tissue mass but is not usually required for a typical epidermoid cyst.

What is the differential diagnosis for an epidermoid cyst?

Differential diagnoses for an epidermoid cyst include:

• Lipoma — a mobile 2–10 cm dome or egg-shaped subcutaneous lump with a rubbery or soft and smooth consistency
• Trichilemmal cyst — a firm, mobile, 0.5–5 cm subcutaneous nodule without a central punctum, usually presenting on the scalp; it has a thick capsule and is not typically prone to rupture
• Acne pseudocyst — this lacks a capsule and is associated with other signs of acne such as comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules
• Myxoid pseudocyst — a shiny papule arising at the end of a digit
• Dermoid cyst — this has epidermal and dermal components and arises in early childhood
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related epidermal cyst — a lesion with a hard, keratinous surface.

What is the treatment for an epidermoid cyst?

Most small uncomplicated epidermoid cysts will not require treatment.

The most effective treatment for an epidermoid cyst is complete surgical excision with an intact cyst capsule. Removal of the entire cyst lining decreases rates of recurrence [6]. This can be difficult to achieve following cyst rupture. Histological examination of the surgical specimen is recommended due to the small risk of malignant transformation and misdiagnosis [6].

In cases of infection, initial antibiotics, incision and drainage may be indicated.

What is the outcome for an epidermoid cyst?

Epidermoid cysts are typically benign and slow growing, rarely undergoing malignant transformation. Occasionally, they resolve spontaneously without intervention [1].

Reviews

Hello! I would like to share my impressions about the operation performed in your clinic. Firstly, I am a non-resident, I had to read about you and listen to the recommendations of friends, acquaintances, relatives. It all started with a direct conversation with the doctor and then a consultation with the administrators, who in turn provided all the information. After receiving all the tests, I visited your clinic for the first time, it turned out to be brighter and more comfortable than outside. Before the operation, a visit to the therapist, examination and taking of readings (including all tests brought with you). Then they took me directly to the doctor who will perform the operation. Doctor Kamaletdinov Rinaz Enesovich, special thanks to him, the operation – Circumcision. Full consultation and further design questions. After that, the ascent to the ward, where the staff is also very polite and excellent rooms with everything you need. Next move to the operating room. The support group of the nurse Serebryakova Xenia Alexandrovna and the work with comments (which is not unimportant) about the current work with you is worth a separate praise. Setting up and creating a friendly atmosphere at a high level.
After the operation, they helped me get up and took me to the ward, where they offered tea and made the necessary injections. The ward is clean, comfortable, bed with a mechanism, everything is new – level 10 out of 10. The doctor resorted to check the condition (in addition to the nurse on duty) every probably half an hour, between consultations and operations. Everything went without a single mistake, clearly with high professionalism.
Summary: now my one of the few favorite clinics, which I already recommend and will continue to recommend! Prosperity to you, you are great fellows! Thanks for all!

Based on the recommendations of the therapist of the Clinic, SL was referred to the day hospital for the treatment of vitiligo. I want to express my gratitude to the nurse Akhmetgaleeva Guzel. She has golden hands! He does injections and droppers perfectly (this is with my invisible veins). Sociable, friendly, always smiling. Being treated for vitiligo in the clinic, I was surrounded by warmth and care, I felt cozy and comfortable, thanks to Guzel and the clear and well-coordinated work of the entire team. Thank you very much!

Hello, I want to express my deep gratitude to your clinic and cosmetologist Maria Valerievna! Thank you for your professionalism and dedication! I’m glad I trusted you!

23.01.2020Regina

I have been going to the SL Clinic for more than a year, but recently I found out that a cardiologist also sees. In general, I go to the beautician Elena Viktorovna.
I could not think that I needed to see a cardiologist. Svetlana Gennadievna, thanks for the positive attitude, you opened my eyes to my health, or rather explained the reason for my poor health. Before that, not a single specialist, but I turned to a vascular specialist, and to a therapist, and did ultrasound, no one could understand anything. Everyone said that everything is normal with you … although I understood that it was not …
Thank you for explaining everything to me intelligibly, you are now my true friend!

16.01.2020Maria Makarova

Svetlana Leonovna!!! I don’t know how to thank you. To say that you have given me back my confidence is an understatement. You gave me back the desire to smile, the desire to move forward, just the desire to live. Just don’t disappear, you just be, you just don’t go anywhere. THANKS FOR ALL!!!

And again, I was not mistaken in choosing the clinic and the doctor, entrusting you with the most precious thing. Despite the fact that the operation is not difficult – when it comes to a child, everything becomes important and significant, so I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Rustem Sharipzyanovich and all the staff! Let your work give the result that we expect from you! Grateful patients! Great achievements! Clinic further prosperity! Thank you!

Removed the wrinkle between the eyebrows from Zhaboeva Svetlana Leonovna. Very smiling, pleasant doctor, professional with a capital letter. I am very satisfied with the result, although I did not like the result in another clinic before. I liked that the clinic does not impose services. I wanted to make lips, but the doctor dissuaded me, saying that so far I don’t need it. Next time I will come only to you

Treatment of bartholinitis WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS, opening of the Bartholin’s gland without pain, on the day of treatment, with the Surgitron device is one of the most popular areas of practical activity of the Women’s Health Clinic.

The causative agents of bartholinitis are bacteria: staphylococci, streptococci, escherichia, gonococci, etc.

Trichomonas and Escherichia coli are detected in the contents of the Bartholin gland cyst in some cases.

In the Bartholin gland, the infection penetrates through the excretory duct after a mechanical injury: combing, sexual intercourse with insufficient moisture, chafing after wearing tight and lacy underwear.

The inflammatory process within 3-5 days captures the entire Bartholin gland.

Pus fills the lobules of the Bartholin gland with the formation of a false abscess (pseudo-abscess of the Bartholin gland).

Bartholin’s gland cyst, Bartholin’s gland abscess may open spontaneously.

Treatment of bartholinitis, opening of the Bartholin gland in the presence of pus is necessary.

Symptoms of bartholinitis

The symptoms of bartholinitis are characteristic and allow an unmistakable diagnosis on examination.

• Bartholinitis always occurs SUDDENLY against the background of complete well-being and personal hygiene.
• There is a FEELING of chafing and annoying DISCOMFORT at rest and during walking in the lower third of the labia majora.
• Bartholinitis in the vast majority of cases is unilateral.
• Symptoms of acute bartholinitis are malaise, weakness.
• Swelling occurs in the form of an inactive elastic “ball” and PAIN when walking in the lower third of the labia majora.
• Body temperature usually rises to 37.5-38.0°C.

The process progresses within 3-5 days.

The formation of a pseudoabscess of the Bartholin gland is accompanied by high body temperature (up to 39.0 ° C), chills, throbbing pain in the corresponding labia majora.

On examination, swelling and REDENING are determined in the region of the Bartholin’s gland (“BUNE” on the labia), palpation (palpation) of the corresponding labia is sharply PAINFUL.

Spontaneous opening of a festering Bartholin’s gland oozes pus, the general condition quickly improves and the temperature decreases.

In the chronic stage of bartholinitis, the development of a retention cyst of the Bartholin gland is possible.

Retention is a cyst that can spontaneously resolve (empty) and reappear.

The content of the Bartholin gland cyst is a vitreous, viscous mucus.

Retention cysts of the Bartholin’s gland never! do not malignant, but at certain sizes cause aesthetic discomfort and DIFFICULTY during sexual intercourse.

Bartholinitis has a tendency to relapse (recurrence).

Diagnosis of bartholinitis

Acute bartholinitis and Bartholin’s gland cyst do not cause difficulties in diagnosis.

In acute bartholinitis and Bartholin gland pseudoabcess, all the classic signs of inflammation are present: pain, tumor-like formation, and local (local) fever.

A certain difficulty arises when deciding to treat conservatively (medication) or operate.

In other words, it is necessary to answer the question: is the inflammatory process common, or has PSEUDOABCESS already formed in the form of a cavity with purulent contents.

The success of treatment and aesthetic comfort depend on accurate diagnosis!
Accurate diagnosis and treatment of bartholinitis WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS, opening of the Bartholin’s gland WITHOUT PAIN, on the day of treatment, using the Surgitron device is one of the most popular areas of practical activity of the Women’s Health Clinic.

Treatment of bartholinitis

Treatment of bartholinitis should be started at the first symptoms (signs) of trouble.

Early visit to the doctor, based on our experience, there is a real chance to stop the inflammatory process and prevent the formation of an abscess or Bartholin’s cyst.

Treatment of bartholinitis in the acute stage is to quickly limit and stop the inflammatory process.

Treatment of bartholinitis with late treatment is to accelerate the maturation of pseudoabscess and reduce the period of physical and mental disability.

At the same time, there is a chance (small chance) for stopping the process without surgical treatment.

For the treatment of bartholinitis in the Women’s Health Resort Clinic, a combination of phytotherapeutic agents and modern physiotherapy is used.

Physiotherapy potentiates (multiply enhances) the effect of medicines from plant materials.

In combination with herbal remedies, physiotherapy allows you to achieve recovery WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS.

All physiotherapy procedures in the Women’s Health Resort Clinic are performed WITHOUT PAIN in comfortable conditions by professionally trained midwives.

Contraindications

Contraindications to physiotherapy treatment are general contraindications to physiotherapy: hypertension of the 3rd degree, oncological processes in the body, severe somatic (therapeutic) diseases in the stage of decompensation.

Contraindications for each specific procedure are detailed on the website in the corresponding paragraph of the article “Physiotherapy”.

Medicinal products based on plant and mineral raw materials according to the prescriptions of the Clinic’s doctors have detoxifying, analgesic and local (local) anti-inflammatory effects, make the immune system actively fight the infectious process.

Our experience in the treatment of bartholinitis shows that the use of drugs based on natural raw materials is an important physiological (corresponding to human physiology) component of treatment.

When suppuration of the Bartholin gland – filling the gland with pus with the formation of a pseudoabscess of the Bartholin gland – it is necessary to open the Bartholin gland.

The opening of the Bartholin’s gland in our Clinic is performed WITHOUT PAIN by a non-contact method using the Surgitron apparatus.

In some cases, up to 25 ml of pus expires.

The internal pressure is so great that when a pseudo-abscess of Bartholin’s gland is opened, the stream of pus sometimes reaches one meter.

Photo of bartholinitis. After non-contact opening and drainage of a pseudo-abcess of the right Bartholin’s gland in our Clinic

Within 5-7 days, professionally trained midwives of the Clinic CLEAR from the remnants of pus and WASH the Bartholin’s gland, perform magnetic laser and ultrasound treatment.

After a non-contact opening of the Bartholin’s gland, the wound is epithelialized (healed) with the formation of an aesthetic, thin, barely noticeable scar.

Hospitalization (inpatient treatment) is not required.

During the treatment of bartholinitis, fortified nutrition is necessary. There are no restrictions or food restrictions.

Sexual intimacy is possible after complete relief (cure) of acute bartholinitis or complete epithelialization (healing) of the postoperative wound.

Complete healing, as a rule, occurs 9-12 days after the non-contact opening of the Bartholin’s gland in our Clinic.

During the period of an open wound and incomplete healing, if it is impossible to avoid sexual intercourse, surrogate forms of love and anal sex are allowed.

In the case of recurrent (recurring) Bartholinitis, the Women’s Health Resort Clinic performs extirpation (husking, complete removal) of the Bartholin’s gland or marsupalization of the Bartholin’s gland.

After extirpation (husking) of the Bartholin’s gland, the pseudo-abscess of the Bartholin’s gland and the cyst of the Bartholin’s gland never occur again.

We accept girls, girls and women from all cities of Russia, near and far abroad.

The women’s health resort clinic operates both on paid services and in the system of voluntary medical insurance.

Treatment of bartholinitis with the help of phytotherapeutic and physiotherapeutic agents allows you to achieve a complete cure and prevent the transition to a chronic form and the formation of an abscess (pseudo-abcess) and a cyst of the Bartholin gland.

After a spontaneous opening of a pseudo-abscess of the Bartholin gland, the outflow of purulent contents, as a rule, does not occur completely.

The pyogenic (pyogenic) capsule is preserved. And after gluing and scarring of the fistula, the process begins to mature again.

Spontaneous opening of a pseudo-abscess of the Bartholin gland leads to the formation of a rough scar.

The only consolation for this is the thought of limited access for contemplation . ..

Prevention of bartholinitis

There is no specific prevention of bartholinitis.

Reducing the risk of bartholinitis is facilitated by observing the rules of hygiene of the genital organs, avoiding wearing tight, synthetic and skin-irritating underwear and tight, tight-fitting trousers in hot weather. About the rules of hygiene of the external genital organs in detail …

In the Women’s Health Resort Clinic, a certificate of incapacity for work (sick leave) is not issued.

What documents are required for marsupalization of the Bartholin’s gland?

Answer:

For marsupalization of the Bartholin gland, it is desirable to have copies of the results of a previous clinical and laboratory examination, copies of consultations of other specialists, copies of epicrises (conclusions) of surgical and conservative treatment. In other words, the fullest possible amount of medical information about your health.
If necessary or desired, it is possible to perform a clinical and laboratory examination in our Clinic.

I have a Bartholin gland cyst. Opened 3 times, the last time in February 2010. She broke down two days ago. After reading about all the problems associated with this disease, I concluded that it is desirable to do marsupalization. Unfortunately, in our city I did not find such a doctor. Can I come to you for treatment? Z.Kh., Mozdok.

Answer:

Opening of the Bartholin’s gland and marsupalization of the Bartholin’s gland in the Women’s Health Spa Clinic is possible. Pre-registration by phone 8 (800) 500-52-74 (call within Russia is free) or +7 (928) 022-05-32.

I am your old patient at the Student Polyclinic. A day after intense sexual intercourse, pain and swelling of the left large labia appeared. I made an alcohol compress, and after 3 hours my lip became very red and filled. It hurts even from panties. I can’t walk at all. Sensation of throbbing in the lip. What to do? M.I., Cherkessk.

Answer:

Come urgently! The appearance of a pulsation is a characteristic sign of the maturity of an abscess of the Bartholin gland.
The doctors of the Clinic will open and drain (“clean”) the abscess using the radio wave method WITHOUT PAIN. After 3 weeks, only a barely noticeable pink strip will remain.

I have chronic bartholinitis. What symptoms make sense to see a doctor? P.Sh., Nalchik.

Answer:

With chronic bartholinitis and treatment at the stage of discomfort and swelling in the lower third of the labia majora, there is a real chance to stop the process with therapeutic agents and prevent the formation of an abscess or cyst of the Bartholin gland.

Between my large and small left labia, but closer to the large one, a painful ball formed below. Weakness. What is this? K.N., Rostov-on-Don.

Answer:

You develop bartholinitis – inflammation of the left large gland of the vestibule of the vagina.

Is it possible to treat chronic bartholinitis simultaneously according to gynecological and therapeutic treatment programs? What will be the results and planned cost of treatment?

Answer:

We consider a woman/girl as a whole and treat not a disease, but a suffering (sick) person!
We provide a combination of gynecological and therapeutic treatment programs. And in fact, we always adjust the treatment of bartholinitis, the treatment of chronic bartholinitis, taking into account concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular, neuroendocrine and respiratory systems.
The procedures are combined in such a way that each subsequent one potentiates (strengthens) the action of the previous ones.
The cost of the combined (combined) treatment program, as a rule, exceeds the cost of the main treatment program by no more than 15%.
Sincerely, Chief Physician of the Women’s Health Resort Clinic, Ph.D. honey. Sciences O.Yu. Ermolaev.
