Bartholin’s Cyst and Abscess Treatment
The Bartholin’s glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. These pea-sized glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the openings of these glands become obstructed, causing fluid to back up into the gland. The result is a relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin’s cyst. A Bartholin’s abscess may occur if the cyst fluid becomes infected. Bartholin’s gland cysts and gland abscesses are common problems in women of reproductive age.

Polyps are areas that grow a little too much. These polyps can be as small as a sesame seed or as large as a golf ball. Rarely, polyps can grow to the size of an orange! In addition to uterine polyps, women can get a polyp on the edges of their cervix, in the area of their vagina, or even the ovaries.
Learn MoreVaginoplasty

We also have long-term relationships with other specialist practices, including a highly-rated infertility practice. This approach helps provide a continuous line of care where you benefit from collaborative relationships between your doctors.
We recommend that women start including Pap smears in their well-woman visit at the age of 21 (or earlier if sexually active). If you’ve had a full hysterectomy, you don’t need any Pap smear tests. The general guidelines for women over 21 years old is that they should at least do the following:
21-29: every 3 years
30-65: every 3-5 years (if your Pap smear and HPV tests are negative)
65 and older: you may no longer need Pap smear tests
