Why is Bartholinitis difficult to cure?

Nowadays, women do not pay attention to their health and do not know that they have gynecological diseases, which causes great harm to women's body and mind. Bartholinitis is a gynecological disease that is very easy to occur. Timely treatment of gynecological diseases is the most fundamental solution. So, why is Bartholinitis difficult to cure in women? Gynecological experts can answer your questions.

The reason why Bartholin's gland abscess recurs repeatedly is determined by its anatomical structure. The Bartholin's gland is located in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, opening between the hymen and the labia minora, and bacteria can easily invade and cause inflammation. After inflammation occurs, the gland duct edema is easy to cause blockage, so that pus cannot flow out, and accumulates to form an abscess. After the abscess is formed, it is difficult to subside on its own, and incision and drainage must be performed to make the inflammation subside quickly and heal.

After the abscess is incised and drained, most of the abscess cavities can be completely closed and healed, but some people will form fistulas. When the fistula opening is narrowed or closed, pus will accumulate again and abscesses can form again, causing repeated attacks and long-term failure to heal. Some abscesses also occur on the basis of the original Bartholin's gland cyst. If the cyst is secondarily infected, it will cause repeated attacks of abscesses.

Causes of Bartholinitis in daily life:

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, the bacteria can enter the glands through the wound.

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.
