Treatment:

The only treatment needed may simply involved routine exams and watching the cysts for growth and other changes.

Surgical excision (removal) may be chosen or possibly required if the cyst is causing symptoms. However, this can sometimes be a very involved surgery and is not recommended unless you are having significant symptoms.

Expectations (prognosis):

The outcome is generally good. Frequently cysts remain small and require no treatment. When surgically removed, the cysts usually do not return.

Complications:

There are usually no complications from the cysts themselves. A surgical excision procedure carries a small risk of complications depending on where the cyst is located in relation to other structures.

Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if a lump is felt inside the vagina or protruding from the vagina.
