Two percent of women will have a Bartholin's gland cyst at some point in their lives. [3] They occur at a rate of 0.55 per 1000 person-years and in women aged 35–50 years at a rate of 1.21 per 1000 person-years. [18] The incidence of Bartholin duct cysts increases with age until menopause, and decreases thereafter. [18]

Prolapse can occur at a different site in the vagina. Further surgery after the initial repair can be to treat complications of mesh displacement, pain, or bleeding. Further surgery may be needed to treat incontinence. [13] One goal of surgical treatment is to restore the vagina and other pelvic organs to their anatomically normal positions.
