What care should patients with Bartholinitis pay attention to?

Bartholinitis is often a mixed infection, and it often occurs during the reproductive period. When sexual intercourse, abortion, childbirth, etc. contaminate the vulva, pathogens can easily invade and cause an inflammatory response. Therefore, women are usually in pain, with swelling, fever, and severe pain in the vulva. For this disease, it is usually necessary to pay attention to daily care, which often brings better results, so there is no need to worry too much. Here I will introduce how to care for patients with Bartholin's glands.

1. Bartholinitis is prone to recurrence. After surgery for Bartholin's gland cyst, pay attention to hygiene, change underwear frequently, avoid contamination from secretions, urine and feces, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. Do not eat spicy and irritating foods. Don't be too anxious. It will take about two weeks.

2. After the operation of Bartholin's gland cyst, the dressing should be changed every day. Pay attention to whether the cyst cavity is pus-filled. If the drainage strip is relatively clean, then there is no need to worry too much. If there are symptoms of pain, redness and swelling, it means that the inflammation has not completely subsided, and you need to continue to change the dressing or anti-inflammatory treatment.

3. During the acute phase, you should stay in bed to avoid unnecessary pain. You can also apply cold compresses locally to relieve pain.

4. For treatment, you also need to take a sitz bath with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for 15 to 20 minutes each time, twice a day. Oral antibiotics can also be selected according to the pathogen.

5. In terms of diet, avoid spicy food and stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

7. Patients with Bartholinitis usually suffer from great psychological stress. People around them must comfort and care for them so that the patients can have a positive attitude towards treating the disease.

Finally, we know that Bartholinitis is not terrible. Although the acute stage of infection is uncomfortable, we need to have the confidence to actively treat the disease and recover. During the treatment, care should not be sloppy. Remember that keeping the vulva clean is the main way to prevent infection. I hope you will get well soon.
