Presentation
Although 2 cysts were found to communicate with the vagina, 4 presented as a closed space. All resected kidneys were more dysplastic than those with vaginal ectopia without cyst formation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most of the case series presented in the literature typically present patients who were treated surgically [ 8 ]. The follow-up of these patients ranged from 2 to 17 years. [doi.org]
Entire Body System
- Severe Pain
If you feel severe pain that doesn't go away after taking OTC medications, contact your doctor. [9] Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding dosage and how often to take the medication. 6 Avoid irritating the cyst. [wikihow.com]
- Weakness
This happens when the muscles surrounding the vagina become weak, most commonly due to childbirth. These are not really cysts, but can look and feel like cystic masses in the vagina. Most vaginal cysts usually do not cause symptoms. [medlineplus.gov]
Eyes
- Prolapse
We present a case of a pregnant patient with a prolapsing vaginal mass. A diagnosis of Gartner duct cyst was made after MRI was performed. The Gartner duct cyst was drained when the patient went into labour allowing vaginal delivery to be performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The Gartner duct cyst can present as ipsilateral blind vagina.Differential diagnosis of a cyst in lateral aspect of female genital tract includes bartholins gland cyst or abscess, prolapsed urethra, prolapsed uterus, vaginal wall inclusion cyst, endometriosis [advancejournals.org]
There was no evidence of pelvic-organ prolapse. A cystoscopic examination did not reveal a urethral or bladder diverticulum. [nejm.org]
The differential diagnosis can include but is not limited to Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess, prolapsed urethra, prolapsed uterus, vaginal wall inclusion cyst, endometriosis, leiomyoma, sarcoma botryoides, malignant mass, Skeene's gland cyst, or abscess [journals.lww.com]
Neurologic
- Irritability
Douching is unnecessary, can irritate the cyst, and is considered to be harmful to women's health in general. [10] Since you'll want to avoid irritating the cyst, consider using a sanitary napkin instead of a tampon, if you're menstruating. [wikihow.com]
The sclerosant action of tetracyline is believed to be due to its acidic pH, which causes strong tissue irritation with cellular foreign body reaction leading to destruction of secreting cells within [justanswer.com]
A woman should seek treatment immediately and avoid activities that irritate the cyst. Rarely do vaginal cysts cause ongoing issues for women. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Confusion
Recently, vaginal adenosis has been reported as a result of laser therapy of the vagina for condyloma or dysplasia. 20 This should not be confused with DES related adenosis. Fig. 6. [glowm.com]
However, these cysts can increase in size and be confused with other structures, such as cystocele and uterine prolapse [ 6 ]. In fact, in this series, the size ranged from 1.5 to 4.2 cm. [doi.org]
Urogenital
- Dyspareunia
[…] asymptomatic if larger, may cause mass effect on adjacent structures Usually isolated but possible associations with metanephric urinary system abnormalities renal agenesis ipsilateral renal dysplasia Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome Presentation Symptoms dyspareunia [medbullets.com]
Treatment and prognosis Complications In rare cases with larger cysts, dyspareunia and problems in obstetric delivery have been described 3. [radiopaedia.org]
Other postoperative complications include pain, hemorrhage, and dyspareunia. Postoperative instructions include wound care and abstinence of intercourse for 1 month. [justanswer.com]
Larger cysts may cause painful sex (dyspareunia) and problems giving birth vaginally. These cysts may be marsupialised, drained, or other treatment depending on the size and other characteristics of the cyst. [allthingsvagina.com]
Gartner's duct cysts are generally asymptomatic, and most commonly diagnosed upon routine gynecologic examination, but patient complaints can include that of skin tag, dysuria, pressure, itching, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, or protrusion from the vagina [journals.lww.com]

We report on a girl with a rare variant of single vaginal ectopic ureter via Gartner's duct cyst, which ruptured spontaneously into the bladder leading to aggravation of urinary incontinence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms of a Gartner's duct cyst include: infections, bladder dysfunction, abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, and urinary incontinence. [en.wikipedia.org]
Ectopic ureters, besides having direct communications with the vagina and introitus, have been reported to communicate with Gartner duct cysts and cause urinary incontinence[ 5 ]. [advancejournals.org]

- Urinary Retention
A 22-month-old child with a large cyst of Gartner's duct suffered from recurrent episodes of urinary retention. Excision of such large symptomatic cysts has been recommended in the past. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She had no history of vaginal bleeding ,urinary retention ,incontinence ,fever ,injury and pain abdomen [ 4 ]. Her obstetric history, menstrual history and past surgical and medical history were not significant. [advancejournals.org]
She denies vaginal bleeding, urinary retention, incontinence, fever, injury, and back, abdominal, and pelvic pain. [journals.lww.com]
Purulent vaginal discharge and urinary retention appeared additionally in the last 24 hours. High acute phase reactants levels and leukocytosis were found. MDCT was performed due to gynaecological findings (pelvic complicated cystic mass). [eurorad.org]
When large, symptoms can include vaginal discharge or bleeding, dyspareunia, or urinary retention. [glowm.com]

(Etiology) During fetal growth and development, the formation of Gartner ducts or mesonephric ducts on the vaginal walls take place. [dovemed.com]
Histologically, the polyps are composed of a squamous epithelial surface with a fibrovascular stalk and edematous stroma. 4, 5 Proposed etiologies include stromal proliferation or granulation tissue reaction as a result of local injury. [glowm.com]

Prevention The growth of vaginal cysts is difficult to prevent. Prevention should focus less on stopping cyst formation as on keeping the vagina as clean as possible. Practicing safe sex can help prevent infection from sexually transmitted diseases. [medicalnewstoday.com]
