📋Overview
Bartholin's gland cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that develops when the duct of the Bartholin's gland, located on each side of the vaginal opening, becomes blocked. This term refers to the cystic dilation of the gland's duct. If the cyst becomes infected, it can form an abscess. The modern preferred term remains 'Bartholin's gland cyst' or 'Bartholin's cyst/abscess.'
