Vaginal cysts

Alternative Names:

Inclusion cyst; Gartner's duct cyst
Treatment:

Routine examinations and observation of the cysts (for growth or other changes) may be the only treatment needed. Surgical excision (removal) may also be elected or possibly required if the cyst is causing symptoms.


Expectations (prognosis):

The outcome is generally good. Frequently cysts remain small and require no treatment. When surgically removed, the cysts usually do not return.


Complications:

There are usually no complications.


Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if a lump is felt inside the vagina or protruding from the vagina.
