Question: A friend of mine is having virginal cyst what actually leads to it and how can it be cured
Answer: Hello there and thanks for using Wellvis
Youve done a good job trying to clarify what is going on with your friend 
Cysts in general are growths in the body that may contain fluid air or other substances They usually are benign that is do not lead to cancer
In the vagina these can be from birth trauma to the vagina surgery child birth or obstructions of glands There are usually no symptoms associated with cysts other than the presence of the lump which may be uncomfortable Sometimes there may be pain while bathing or even during sexual intercourse The substance inside the cyst may become infected and develop into pus In some cases they may be cancerous though rare 
Most of these cysts do not require any treatment unless there is an increase in size it is disturbing daily activities or there is a chance of it being cancerous The most common treatment is surgery to remove the cyst and treatment of infections if any
My recommendation will be for your friend to visit a gynaecologist to confirm the presence of cyst and to assess whether there is any need for an intervention
