7. Prevention of Bartholin's Cysts
Generally speaking, it's not possible to prevent Bartholin's cysts. Because their causes aren't clearly known in all cases, prevention recommendations are ambiguous at best.
However, because they can, at least in some cases, be caused by sexually transmitted infections, practicing safe sex is generally recommended by doctors. Specific medical prevention besides this isn't known to have any effect on whether a woman will get a cyst at some point in her life.3‘Bartholin’s Cyst,’ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bartholins-cyst/ Good hygiene habits help prevent an infection of a cyst.
