I have a small painful bartholin cyst with translucent discharge is biopsy required
hello I have gone through your description the details you mentioned definitely suggest there must be some infection in the bartholin gland as you have mentioned it has been painful for eight months I would like to know if you took any course of antibiotics to address the infection in your case you can try that as the cyst is still very small although the definitive treatment for a bartholin abscess is excision and marsupialization of the cyst for mild cases a course of antibiotics may provide some relief for some time but there can be a recurrence of infection in such cases in the future if the lesion is persistent or it increases in size excision of the same is recommended and it is usually a very minor procedure and not that painful too so please do follow up with your gynecologist in case you face any such issues I hope this helps
