What are the nursing measures for Bartholinitis?

Bartholinitis is an inflammation caused by infection with a variety of pathogens. If Bartholinitis is not treated in time, it will cause acute suppurative inflammation and become Bartholin's gland abscess. This disease is more common in women of childbearing age and less common in young girls and postmenopausal women. Bartholinitis is very harmful to women, so what are the treatment measures for Bartholinitis? In response to this question, the following editor will introduce it, hoping to be helpful to women.

What are the treatments for Bartholinitis?

1. Early treatment of Bartholinitis with antibiotics

Systemic antibiotics can be used to treat Bartholinitis in its early stages. Since Bartholinitis caused by gonococci has been increasing in recent years, it is best to squeeze the urethral opening or take cervical secretions for bacterial culture and perform bacterial sensitivity tests before taking medication. Choose antibiotics based on experience before the results of the sensitivity test come out. Generally speaking, penicillin drugs have better efficacy. Local hot compresses or physical therapy can be used according to the situation to promote the disappearance of inflammation. At the same time, the vulva should be kept clean and hygienic, and chemical fiber underwear should not be worn.

2. If there is an abscess, it should be incised and drained

Once an abscess is formed, antibiotics alone are ineffective and drainage should be performed. The timing of the operation should be chosen when the fluctuation is most obvious. Generally, the incision is made below the inner side of the labia majora. The incision should not be too small so that all the pus can be completely drained. After the pus is drained and the inflammation begins to subside, a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution is used for sitz bath.

3. Treatment of Bartholin's gland cyst

There are two methods for the treatment of Bartholin's gland cyst. One is cystectomy, which is to remove all the cysts. However, due to the large trauma, it is now rarely used, and is replaced by cystostomy. The incision of the ostomy is chosen below the cyst to allow all the cystic fluid to flow out. At the same time, a drainage strip is used to prevent adhesion of the stoma. 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution is used for sitz bath. The prognosis is generally good, and the function of the Bartholin's gland can also be well preserved.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to the treatment measures for Bartholinitis. In daily life, female friends should learn more about the prevention methods of Bartholinitis. When suspected symptoms appear, they should seek medical attention in time, find out the cause, and diagnose and treat the disease under the guidance of a professional physician.
