A Bartholin’s cyst is formed when a Bartholin’s gland is blocked causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. A Bartholin’s cyst is not an infection although it can be caused by an infection inflammation or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin’s ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva). If infection sets in the result is a Bartholin’s abscess.
