Does anyone else out there have this diagnosis? I haven't met anyone who knew what the Bartholin Gland is! Imagine that's the same feeling for others of the "rare cancer" sort. Interesting category to be in for all of us.

I am just starting in this group and with this diagnosis (2 surgeries so far) and there is much to learn, I can see. Bonnie

    Could you tell me what your symptoms were? I am having CHRONIC problems with one of my Bartholin Glands. I've had one removed already and the other one is about to drive me insane! I usually develop a cyst every 2 months and now I've developed a constant discharge and pelvic pain. In addition, my period which has always been EXTREMELY regular comes about every 2 weeks and my bleeding is really heavy. I'm scared to death that something else is going on and it is being triggered by my dysfunctional gland.
