Bartholin's Cyst and Abscess - The two Bartholin's glands lie next to the entrance to the vagina. They make a small amount of mucus-like fluid. A cyst (a fluid filled swelling) sometimes develops from a blocked duct that drains the fluid from a Bartholin's gland. Sometimes a gland gets infected, which may then develop into an abscess. Antibiotics may cure an infection or abscess. A small operation is a common treatment for a Bartholin's cyst or abscess.
