    They recur because of either too much skin around the opening of the gland or gland keeps getting infected. Since yours is painful, it's probably infected, and you MUST see a doctor. Sit in a warm tub until you can get to one. If you have Epsom salts, put those in the tub.

    Your doctor may suggest surgery. Marsupialization is the surgical technique of cutting a slit into an abscess or cyst and suturing the edges so that it can remain open and drain freely.

Can the Bartholin's glands be felt? [ 1 Answers ]

Can the Bartholin's glands be felt if there isn't a blockage/cyst? I read that they are undetectable by touch or sight unless there is a problem. A couple friends have told me that they can feel theirs too. Thank you. I apologize because this is similar to a question I already posted.
