    About this ebook

    Bartholin cyst is an acute medical disorder that causes cystic inflammation of the Bartholin gland at the vulva region in females.
    Bartholin Gland is located behind the bulb of the vestibule which is the erectile tissue of the female.
    These glands are found on each side at 4 and 8 o’clock positions of the vaginal opening.
    When stimulated the bartholin gland which is covered by the erectile tissue (the bulb of the vestibule) will produce a mucoid discharge through a 2 cm duct opening in the vaginal orifice lateral to the hymen.
    This mucoid discharge acts as a lubricant during the sexual act.
    Bartholin cyst occurs when the duct is blocked and forms a painless cyst occurring in the lower half of the vulvar wall.
    Normally only 1 bartholin gland is affected, rarely two at the same time.
    If infection is present an acute abscess results.
    Bartholin abscess is the buildup of pus that forms a lump (swelling) in one of the Bartholin glands.
    Bartholin cyst and abscess can be normally produced by the following:
    1. When the duct of the Bartholin gland is blocked by dirt or dead cell or injury.
    The fluid which is produced by the gland then cause the gland to swell and forms a painless cyst occurring in the lower half of the vulvar wall.
    2. A Bartholin abscess happens when a cyst becomes infected by a number of bacteria.
    These bacterial organisms may be:
    a. Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and Chlamydia
    b. Escherichia coli and other bacteria normally found in the intestinal tract
    Diagnosis is the painful swelling of the labia on one side, near the entrance to the vagina
    A painful swollen and red lump suggests that an abscess has formed
    Treatment of Bartholin cyst or abscess involves the following:
    1. Small Bartholin’s cyst:
    Sitz baths
    Soaking in warm water four times a day
    2. Recurrent cysts or painful abscess
    a. Antibiotics
    b. Sitz baths
    3. Bartholin’s abscesses and cysts that is large and painful
    a. Incision and drainage of the abscess
    b. Another surgery called marsupialization creates a small, permanent opening to help the gland drain
    c. Excision
    This procedure requires excision of the Bartholin gland and surrounding tissue.
    This produce scarring and is seldom done.

      Introduction

      I have been writing medical articles for my blog http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Condition) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.

      My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.

      Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).

      I then wrote an autobiolographical account of his journey as a medical student to family doctor on his other blog http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.

      This autobiolographical account A Family Doctor’s Tale was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Conditions into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale on http://ken-med.com.

      From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 650 amazon kindle books and some into Smashwords.com eBooks.

      Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.

      For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.

      The later books go into more details of medical conditions.

      The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.

      Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.

      As I tried to bring you the latest information about a condition or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.

      Just by writing
