How to care for Bartholinitis

The reason for suffering from Bartholinitis is related to many factors. Experts point out that it is very important for patients with Bartholinitis to take good care of themselves.

This is very beneficial for women.

How to care for patients with Bartholinitis

Bartholinitis is an inflammation of the Bartholin glands. The Bartholin glands are located in the deep 1/3 of the lower labia majora on both sides. Their diameter is about 0.5-1.0 cm, and their outlet gland ducts are about 1.5-2.0 cm long. The Bartholin glands are located on both sides of the vaginal opening and open in the vestibule of the vagina. When the vulva is contaminated by sexual intercourse, childbirth or other circumstances, pathogens can easily invade and cause inflammation. Patients with Bartholinitis have pain in the vulva during the acute stage, and local redness, swelling, heat and pain can be seen in the lower part of one side of the labia majora. The gland duct opening is sometimes blocked by swelling or exudate, and pus cannot be discharged, accumulating to form an abscess. After suppuration, there will be fever and increased pain. The abscess can sometimes rupture on its own and pus will flow out.

When the rupture is large and the pus drainage is smooth, the inflammation of Bartholinitis will subside quickly and heal. However, when the rupture of Bartholinitis patients is small, after the inflammation disappears, the pus turns into clear liquid and forms a cyst, which is called a Bartholin's gland cyst.

Patients with acute Bartholinitis need to rest and refrain from sexual intercourse. Use antibiotics appropriately. Local hot compresses, sitz baths or other heat therapies can be applied. After an abscess is formed, it can be incised and drained. Currently, most people advocate ostomy because this method is simpler and less damaging, and patients with Bartholinitis can restore glandular function after surgery. Only after having a certain understanding and knowledge of Bartholinitis can we effectively prevent Bartholinitis. In addition, there are many causes of sexual intercourse in patients with Bartholinitis. Once you are ill, you must go to a regular hospital in time to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.

If the hospital does not perform strict aseptic operations during the operation, it will also cause Bartholin's glanditis. Therefore, when female friends treat uterine cavity diseases, they should not be greedy for small profits and must go to a regular hospital with professional doctors for treatment.
