What Do Small Cysts In The Vaginal Opening Indicate?

Hello Doctor I am 25.5 year old. I fear that I have something wrong with my vagina. My vaginal opening has few small size cyst and also inside vagina I felt like there is something like round shaped big cyst/ ball shaped which were small before and felt pain when I touched on that with finger but I don t have any pain normally. May be this problem is because of my masturbation habit before few years when I was not aware of the problems it can cause. Please help me to know more about this. Can it cause any big problem further in my married life(unmarried) if I don t go for a checkup or it is already something bad happened? I am very tensed about it as I can t discuss with anyone. Please please help me out?

Thanks for posting your query.
For this, there are few causes and most common is Bartholin's Cyst which Is located midway of the labia, and protrudes into the vagina and may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva).
Second, Infected hair follicle may form small absess, which can cause a small swelling, but it is associated with redness and throbbing pain.

Proper diagnosis requires a proper physical examination of the swelling in question. You might consult a gynaecologist who can examine and then decide on the appropriate treatment.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
