Vaginal Cyst Removal – Safe & Effective Treatment

Vaginal cyst removal is a minor surgical procedure performed to treat cysts that develop in or around the vaginal wall. Experienced Gynaecology Specialists provide safe and effective treatment using advanced techniques to ensure comfort, quick recovery, and minimal complications.

A vaginal cyst is a fluid-filled lump that forms on or under the vaginal lining. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and may not cause symptoms. However, larger or infected cysts may require medical treatment or surgical removal.

Types of Vaginal Cysts

• Inclusion Cysts – Common and usually painless
• Bartholin's Gland Cysts – Caused by blockage of glands near the vaginal opening
• Gartner's Duct Cysts – Develop from leftover embryonic tissue
• Sebaceous Cysts – Form due to blocked oil glands
