SURGERY FOR VAGINAL CYSTS

In the vagina, harmless bumps and lumps are common. They can be too small to see, or as large as an orange.

The problem arises when that cyst causes discomfort, pain, adjacent organ problems, or infection. Most importantly, women above 40 years old should have cysts removed to ensure the cyst is non-cancerous. As specialists in urology care in Houston, we provide expert evaluation and removal of vaginal cysts with a focus on your comfort and health.

HOW TREATMENT WORKS

First, we’ll talk with you about your concerns.

Then, Dr. Christi conducts an exam and sends for lab work to determine the type/location of the cyst(s). Once the results are known, we can schedule your procedure for vaginal cyst removal in Houston, TX.

Prior to the procedure, the LifeSculpt™️ by ChristiMD️ staff will prepare you, making you comfortable and ready in the operating room.

Then, in an outpatient surgical setting using local anesthesia, Dr. Christi will utilize micro-instrumentation to carefully dissect the cysts and remove them from your vagina. This includes Bartholin gland cysts, Skene’s gland cysts, urethral diverticulum, and more.

The surgery usually takes about 45 minutes as an outpatient procedure.

The cyst(s) will be sent to the lab for biopsy to ensure that there is no cancer (the incidence is very rare). Very rarely, some patients briefly require a catheter afterwards. Most patients need about 2 weeks for full healing and recovery.

No, vaginal cyst removal in Houston, TX, won’t affect your sex life. After the two weeks of healing, you should be able to return to your normal sexual activity.

Though the cause of a vaginal cyst is often unknown, the most common diagnosed reasons are Bartholin’s gland cysts, Skene’s gland cysts, urethral diverticulum, and inclusion cysts.

The usual side effects are temporary bleeding and mild discomfort at the removal sites due to scar tissue. This pain should pass as the body heals. Vary rarely, a catheter may be necessary for a limited time, as the bladder and ureters are in close proximity and the cyst removal may cause them some irritation/swelling. Also, further surgery may be necessary to remove any recurrence, even though all efforts are made to eliminate them permanently.

You’ll want to remove a cyst if it becomes infected or is causing discomfort. Also, the size and/or location of a cyst can affect other organs, such as your bladder/urethra. Some cysts can cause vaginal discharge with unpleasant odor. Women over 40 should have cysts removed and tested for cancer, as aging increases risk.
