It may sometimes be caused by an infection, but a Bartholin's cyst is not an infection. The Bartholin glands are situated between the vagina and the vulva (the external part of the female genitals) and produce a fluid that helps reduce friction during sex. They are not normally visible to the naked eye.

When that occurs, a cyst forms in the epididymis. The cyst usually contains clear fluid which may include a few sperm cells. These cysts are benign, which means they are not cancerous. They do not interfere with sexual function.

Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). A fluid-filled sac, called a cyst, is the most common growth found in a kidney. Cysts are mostly not cancerous. Solid kidney tumors can be benign, but most often are found to be cancer.

Who's affected? 1 in 50 (2%) females can develop a cyst or abscess, for reasons which are unknown. This is most common in sexually active women aged between 20 and 30, which is why some women experience this during pregnancy, but Bartholin's cysts/abscess can occur at any age of a woman.

Nabothian cysts form when the mucus-producing glands in your cervix are coated with skin cells and become clogged. The skin cells plug the glands, which causes mucus to accumulate. This causes a cyst to form on the cervix that looks like a small, white bump.

The incidence of Bartholin gland abscesses during pregnancy was 0.13%. Eight (20%) abscesses occurred in the first, 18 (45%) in the second, 11 (47.5%) in the third trimester and 3 (7.5%) in the post-partum course. No severe perineal and neonatal infections occurred during pregnancy.

When a kidney cyst is detected, the first step is to determine whether it's "simple" or "complex." Simple kidney cysts are thin, round sacs filled with clear fluid, and they're not cancerous. Complex cysts may have thick walls, several lobes, calcium flecks, or solid components.

A cyst is a sac or cavity that can form anywhere inside your body or on the surface of your skin. It can be filled with fluid or pus, and may feel like a hard lump. The cells that form the outer layer of the sac are abnormal — they're different from any others around them. There are many different types of cysts.

If, however, infection occurs, the result is an incredibly painful Bartholin's abscess which may require drainage or surgery to get rid of it. Nobody seems to be entirely sure what causes these cysts – the usual suspects are all there, stress, poor hygiene, bad diet, STIs and, rarely vulval cancer.

Many cysts, such as wrist or ovarian cysts, go away on their own. Others, such as skin cysts, grow slowly in size and may go away on their own or may need to be drained if they produce symptoms or become inflamed. Cysts in the cervix may disappear after a woman gives birth. Kidney cysts usually do not go away.

If the lump has solid components, due to tissue rather than liquid or air, it could be either benign or malignant. However, the only way to confirm whether a cyst or tumor is cancerous is to have it biopsied by your doctor. This involves surgically removing some or all of the lump.

Though they're not cancerous, sebaceous cysts can be irritating. A sebaceous cyst is a small lump or bump under the skin. This type of cyst is not cancerous. They are most often found on the face, neck, upper back, and upper chest, but can occur on other sites of the body as well.

Breast cysts may be found in one or both breasts. Signs and symptoms of a breast cyst include: A smooth, easily movable round or oval lump with distinct edges (which typically, though not always, indicates it's benign) Nipple discharge that may be clear, yellow, straw colored or dark brown.

This is called ovulation, which is part of your monthly cycle. The “fluid-filled” sac is also sometimes 3 cm (about 1 inch) across and on an ultrasound report called a “cyst” but it is normal.

Medication and antibiotics are used to treat Bartholin's abscesses as the infection is mostly caused by pathogens. Antibiotic therapy may not be necessary for healthy women with uncomplicated abscesses. Antibiotic therapies include Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline and Azithromycin.

In general, there are two main varieties of pancreatic cysts based on the type of fluid they contain. The most common cysts are either serous (containing a thin type of fluid) or mucinous (containing a thicker, more viscous fluid). For the most part, serous cysts tend to be benign (non-cancerous).

Most retention cysts remain unchanged between studies, but in some cases the retention cyst may resolve completely. The accepted theory is that the fluid-filled sac ruptures and the cyst disappears.
