What are the symptoms of a Bartholin cyst?

Many Bartholin cysts are small and do not cause symptoms other than minor irritation. If a Bartholin cyst forms an abscess (infection), symptoms may include:

• Discomfort and pain during sex, walking, sitting, or when inserting a tampon or wiping after using the restroom.
• Swelling and tenderness in the area.
• Fever or chills.
• Redness.
• Drainage from the cyst.
• Change in size (the cyst gets larger).
