Postoperative care after Bartholinitis

Bartholinitis is usually caused by not paying attention to personal private hygiene, and infection due to the invasion of pathogens. Having bartholinitis is very distressing and is more likely to occur in women of childbearing age. When suffering from bartholinitis, if the symptoms are not too severe, you can take oral medication under the guidance of a doctor. If the situation is serious, only surgery can be performed. How to care for bartholinitis after surgery? Today, the editor will tell you.

Acute Bartholinitis is more common on one side. When it occurs, the gland duct is first invaded, presenting with acute suppurative inflammatory changes, with local redness, swelling, heat, and pain, that is, swelling of the vulva on the affected side, burning sensation, severe pain, and sometimes a feeling of heaviness and difficulty in urination and defecation. The gland duct opening is often blocked due to swelling or coagulation of exudate, and the pus cannot flow out to form an abscess, which is called Bartholin's gland abscess. If an abscess has formed, the mass may feel fluctuating when touched, and the tenderness is obvious. If it is not treated in time, the pressure in the abscess cavity increases and it may rupture on its own. After the pus flows out, the patient feels relieved; if the rupture is small and the drainage is not smooth, it may recur, often making the patient restless when walking or lying down. Bartholinitis often has systemic symptoms such as enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, fever, and increased white blood cell count.

1. Postoperative care for Bartholin's glanditis requires attention to hygiene, frequent changes of underwear, strict prohibition of sexual intercourse, and avoidance of spicy and greasy foods. This generally takes at least 2 weeks.

2. During the postoperative care of Bartholin's glanditis, attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, not wearing synthetic underwear, changing underwear frequently, and avoiding contamination from vaginal secretions, urine, and feces.

3. After the operation of Bartholinitis, the dressing should be changed every day. After the operation of Bartholin's gland cyst, if there is no pus in the cyst cavity and the drainage strip is relatively clean, it is fine. If there are symptoms of pain, redness and swelling, it means that the inflammation has not completely subsided, and the dressing should be changed or anti-inflammatory treatment should be continued.

Bartholinitis is not a terrible disease. You must first relax and not be negative every day because of it. When you find yourself suffering from Bartholinitis, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. If it is confirmed and surgery is required, you must actively cooperate with the doctor and carry out the next step of treatment. You must also strictly follow the precautions after the operation.
