Which of the following is the causative organism for Baholin's cyst?
High-Yield Explanation
Ducts of Baholin's gland are lined with transitional epithelium and their obstruction secondary to inflammation may lead to the development of a Baholin's cyst or abscess. Infections are often polymicrobial; sexually transmitted Neisseria gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis are often implicated. Abscesses usually present as acutely inflamed, exquisitely tender masses. Treatment consists of incision and drainage and placement of a Word catheter. Ref: Cain J., ElMasri W.M., Gregory T., Kohn E.C. (2010). Chapter 41. Gynecology. In F.C. Brunicardi, D.K. Andersen, T.R.
