Reply from Dr Herbert Goldfarb

The cyst you describe does not sould serious and unless it causes significant symptoms there is no rush to have it removed

If this is a cyst of the Bartholin gland duct then Marsupialization is the best choice. "Popping" the cyst is not the best choice and removing the whole cyst may ot be necessary. Have your physician explain Marsupialization.

Hysterectomy is not s msndstedf procedure for this condition. Yes there is an increased risk of endometrial cancer but I would suggest a thorough curettage and if the tissue is not atypical I would use megace for three months and then repeat the evaluation. I have treated many  women for this condition in this manner and have never been sorry.
