Female vaginal cysts are a common type of benign tumor of the vagina. The contents of most cysts are watery, serous or milky white liquid, or dark brown.

The normal vagina does not have glands, and occasionally an isolated vaginitis can be found, forming a storage cyst containing fluid. It is commonly found on the lateral wall of the vagina and the anterior wall of the lower end, mostly in a string or multiple, the size of a table tennis ball or grape-like. In general, the cyst epithelium is mostly derived from the Mullerian ducts during embryonic development.

What is a vaginal cyst in women?

A vaginal cyst in women is usually caused by damage to the vaginal mucosa during childbirth. During surgical suturing, the local vaginal mucosa is rolled into the deep layer of the vagina, liquefies, and finally forms a cyst.

A vaginal cyst in women usually has no corresponding symptoms, and only a local cyst can be found during a gynecological examination.

If it is a small vaginal cyst, there are usually no symptoms. If it is a large cyst, it may affect childbirth during childbirth and also cause discomfort during sex and difficulty urinating.

How are vaginal cysts treated in women?

Surgical treatment may be considered for larger vaginal cysts in women.

Generally, after the 37th day after menstruation, if there are no other contraindications, a routine vaginal discharge test, blood routine test, and blood clotting time test can be performed. If everything is normal, the cyst can be removed surgically.

After the operation, strengthen local care of the vagina, do a good job of personal hygiene, and avoid the possibility of infection after the operation.
