Bartholin gland abscess

Discussion:

Bartholin glands can obstruct and form cysts.  If not effectively decompressed these cysts can become infected.  Treatment requires antibiotics +/- surgical drainage.  Marsupialization may be necessary if obstruction is recurrent.  Differential diagnoses include Skene gland cysts (more cephalad adjacent to the urethral opening) or infected hair follicles.
