Can Bartholinitis be completely cured?

Generally speaking, the treatment for Bartholinitis is mainly antibiotics. Generally, if you go to the hospital for treatment in time after the onset of the disease, there is a good chance of cure. If you only use antibiotics for single treatment, the effect is not very ideal. The treatment method needs to be determined according to the patient's specific condition. Below are some common treatment methods:

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 those with obvious gland swelling in the acute stage but no pus, 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 truncatum 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.

During treatment, it is necessary to keep the vulva dry, which can be regarded as the basis of treatment. In addition, Bartholinitis has an acute phase and a chronic phase. In the acute phase, patients are best to stay in bed as much as possible. In addition, the treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine is more effective, but the treatment time is relatively long. In general, it is best not to use a single method in treatment.
