5. Causes of Bartholin's Cysts
Bartholin's cysts are caused by a blockage of the Bartholin's gland, but what causes this blockage can vary and, in some cases, even be unknown. While bacteria that cause sexually transmitted infections often cause these cysts, they're not considered to be exclusive causal factors.3‘Bartholin’s Cyst,’ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bartholins-cyst/
It's now believed that well over a dozen different microbes can cause these cysts to form.5Omole, Folashade; Simmons, Barbara; Hacker,Yolanda. ‘Management Of Bartholin’s Duct Cyst and Gland Abscess,’ American Family Physician, https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0701/p135.html Women of certain age groups and ethnic backgrounds seem to be more likely to suffer Bartholin's cysts and abscesses.5Omole, Folashade; Simmons, Barbara; Hacker,Yolanda. ‘Management Of Bartholin’s Duct Cyst and Gland Abscess,’ American Family Physician, https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0701/p135.html
