I have FAP and a j-pouch. Two months ago, I had pain at the back part of my vaginal area about 1/2 inch from the vagina. I went to my GYN and she sent me to my colorectal surgeon. My colorectal surgeon said it was a Bartholin Gland Cyst. By the time I got in to see him, the inflamation went down and he said if it got inflamed again, to call him back. Last week, I got a bad pain again in the same spot. This time, the lump had drainage. I called my colorectal surgeon back. Right now we are watching it.

What kind of problems do these cause and how long will they last? Will I keep getting a flareup every 6 weeks or so?

Did the GYN think it was a bartholin gland cyst? Gynecologists see them quite often, and they are usually right at the bottom of the vaginal opening, not 1/2" away. Not meaning to scare you, I'm just not sure if this is all adding up. Personally I had a similar experience and it wasn't a bartholin gland cyst, it was just a kind of random cyst on the perineum.

Bartholin gland cysts are more a nuisance than anything else. My GYN told me that she gets them a few times a year, even. I believe that like any other cyst you can speed the healing by using warm compresses or sitz baths.

Has your doctor considered this May be the beginning of a fistula? I had what they thought was a Bartholin cyst that was drained then it came back, drained again, came back, surgically removed, then turns out it was a non draining fistula. That fistula is now draining and the cysts are still showing up. You may want to get the discharge tested for fecal matter.
