Is there a relationship between Bartholin's gland cyst and sexual infection?

Bartholin's gland cysts are usually not directly related to sexual infection, but improper hygiene habits during sex may indirectly increase the risk of infection. The main causes of Bartholin's gland cysts include obstruction of the gland duct, which leads to the accumulation of glandular fluid and the formation of cysts; if infection or abscess formation occurs, it may be related to bacterial infection (such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae), which may be transmitted through unclean sex.

The formation of this cyst is usually caused by external stimulation of the gland duct (such as wearing tight clothing, long-term pressure on the vulva, etc.), chronic inflammation or secretion blockage. Sexual infection is not the main cause of the disease, but frequent, unclean or intense sexual life can easily lead to changes in the vulva microenvironment, thereby increasing the risk of infection. Once the cyst is combined with bacterial infection, it may develop into an abscess, manifested as swelling, pain and fever of the vulva. If significant discomfort symptoms (such as swelling, pain or pus discharge) occur, you should seek medical attention and treatment in time to prevent the disease from further deteriorating.

Keeping the vulva clean and having good sexual hygiene habits are the key to preventing cyst infection. You can wash the vulva with warm water on a daily basis, avoid using irritating detergents or care solutions, and choose loose and breathable underwear. If the cyst is large or repeatedly complicated by infection, it is recommended to receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as warm water sitz baths, drug anti-infection treatment, and cystostomy or gland resection if necessary. Patients with obvious abscesses should choose a professional hospital for drainage as soon as possible to avoid delays that may lead to more serious complications.
