Bartholin’s Cysts Bartholin’s Cysts

If left untreated, a cyst can lead to serious complications. Besides pain, the cyst can become infected and eventually burst. When an abscess ruptures inside the body it can potentially lead to blood poisoning.

How can our CO2 lasers help treat your Bartholin’s cyst?

The main objective of CO2 laser treatment is to remove the cyst or cysts without affecting the Bartholin’s glands. The CO2 lasers accomplish that by vaporizing and removing the Bartholin’s cyst quickly but leaving the glands intact. Benefits include:

• Outpatient procedure
• Completed in about 7 minutes
• Low rates of recurrence
• Requires little intra- or post-operative recovery

What should you expect during and after treatment?

This treatment begins by applying a topical antisepsis and then a local anesthesia. Using the CO2 laser incisions are made which helps to drain the abscess. The interior is then cleaned with a sterile saline solution. During the procedure the laser vaporizes and destroys the capsule tissue.

To help with the healing process we use Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP). This solution, which will be injected into the wound post CO2 laser treatment, helps promote the healing process. Before you start your laser treatment, we will draw your blood. Your blood is then filtered through a machine that separates the plasma and platelets. The growth factors in the PRP increase the generation of reparative cells, which can help accelerate healing after treatment.
