What is skene gland cyst?

The skene glands are located near the urethra and a cyst may develop if the glands are blocked, usually due to an infection. Small cysts are often painless but larger cysts could cause pain or blockage of urine. If the cyst causes symptoms, it can be removed through minor surgery.
