VAGINAL CYSTS
CAUSES |
|
|
|
There are several types of vaginal cysts,
which can range in size from the size of a pea to that of an orange.
Vaginal inclusion cysts are the most common. These may form as a
result of trauma sustained by the vaginal walls or following an
obstetric or gynecologic procedure, when the lining of the vagina
doesn't heal to its normal smoothness.
Gartner's duct cysts develop in the
space occupied by the Gartner's duct, usually on the side walls of
the vagina. This duct is active during fetal development but
ordinarily disappears after birth. In some cases, however, portions
of the duct may collect fluid and develop into a vaginal wall cyst
later in life.
Benign tumors of the vagina are
uncommon and are usually made up of cysts. |
