Abstract
The Bartholin gland is a secretory gland within the labia minora, which can become cystic or abscessed. A Bartholin gland abscess is typically painful, with unilateral swelling and tenderness. Treatment often consists of incision and drainage, sometimes with the placement of a word catheter. Antibiotics alone are not typically sufficient.
