Treatment of Bartholinitis

1. Use antibiotics and Chinese medicine for external treatment

Inflammation of the Bartholin's glands is mostly caused by invasion of pathogens from the vulva. Antibiotic treatment has a certain effect, but it is often prone to recurrence. External treatment with traditional Chinese medicine has a satisfactory effect on repeated infections.

For patients with obvious glandular swelling but no pus in the acute stage, 8-10 million U of penicillin or 320,000 U of gentamicin can be intravenously dripped, and 30g of each of Sophora flavescens, Gentiana scabra, and Licorice root can be decocted, removed, and then used for sitting bath or fumigation. Phellodendron chinense and Gypsum can also be ground into very fine powder, mixed with sesame oil, and applied to the swollen vulva surface. In addition, when fumigating and washing the vulva, if possible, the vagina should also be flushed at the same time to keep the entire vulva and vagina clean and hygienic.

2. Chinese medicine treatment after abscess incision and drainage

Once an abscess is formed, it should be incised and drained as soon as possible and thoroughly. At this time, combined with Chinese medicine for internal and external treatment, the pus can be discharged faster and the inflammation can subside quickly. The method of clearing heat and detoxifying is usually used as the main method, supplemented by methods such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, and draining pus.

Medication: Chinese smilax, shuanghua, lianqiao, jiaoshen, pangolin, red peony root, moutan bark, astragalus, etc. After incision and drainage, use scutellaria, phellodendron, and borneol to soak the medicine thread for drainage. Then use Jie'eryin wash or chlorhexidine wash to clean the vulva and vagina on time.

Treatment principles and nursing points for Bartholinitis

Processing principles:

During the acute stage, bed rest is required. The secretions from the opening are collected for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, and antibiotics are selected according to the pathogen. Local hot compresses or sitz baths with Chinese medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies can be used.

After the abscess is formed, it can be incised and drained and ostomy can be performed. In recent years, the use of C02 laser for cystostomy has achieved good results. This method is simple to operate. There is very little bleeding during the operation, and the patient does not feel uncomfortable during and after the operation. No suture is required, and the gland function can be maintained. Early treatment of cysts with a diameter of <3cm has a high cure rate and a very low recurrence rate.
