What are the triggering factors of Bartholinitis?

Bartholinitis is also a common gynecological disease in modern life. It is mainly an inflammation caused by infection with pathogens. Are there other factors that cause Bartholinitis? Let's take a look at the triggering factors of Bartholinitis.

1. History of unclean sexual intercourse

If the man is infected with gonorrhea and has not been completely cured but has sex with him, the gonococci on the head of the penis will enter the Bartholin's glands through the duct opening at the vaginal opening; if you have sex during menstruation, the pathogenic bacteria in the menstrual blood can also be "pressed into" the duct opening and enter the deep part of the gland.

2. Delivery

If a vaginal delivery is performed, bacteria can enter the gland through the wound, making it easy for pathogens to invade and cause Bartholinitis.

3. Not paying attention to vulva cleaning

If you touch your genitals with dirty hands, do not wash your vulva every day, or do not change your underwear frequently, the bacteria can multiply and increase in the vaginal opening and enter the glands through the gland duct opening. This is more common among unmarried girls.

This disease is often a mixed infection with complex pathogens, mainly endogenous pathogens and pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases. In China, most of them are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In foreign countries and some areas in China, Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the main cause, and it can also be caused by anaerobic bacteria.

Experts remind: Keeping the vulva clean is the main way to prevent Bartholinitis. To prevent this disease, it is best to wash the vulva every day and insist on wearing cotton underwear. If you suffer from vulvitis, you should seek timely treatment, which can prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis to a certain extent.
