Bartholinitis is difficult to treat and prevention is the key

Prevention of Bartholinitis Infection often occurs on one side. The pathogen first invades the gland duct, causing the duct opening to become red, swollen, and blocked. The inflammation develops deep into the gland, forming an inflammatory mass throughout the gland, causing local redness, swelling, heat, and pain; if the gland is infected and purulent, the duct opening is blocked, and the pus cannot flow out, it becomes a Bartholin's gland abscess. After being infected with Bartholinitis, it is difficult to heal repeatedly. We should pay attention to the prevention of Bartholinitis to avoid its occurrence.

The main ways to prevent Bartholinitis are:

1. To prevent Bartholinitis, avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation. Pay attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean, and wash the vulva 12 times a day.

3. During menstruation, the vulva is contaminated by menstrual blood, which makes it more susceptible to infection. Therefore, the vulva should be cleaned once every night during menstruation, but be careful not to let water flow into the vagina.

4. Wash the vulva every day, do not wear nylon underwear, and seek timely treatment for vulvitis, which can prevent the occurrence of Bartholin's glands to a certain extent.

5. Choose cotton underwear, and don’t wear underwear that is too tight.

6. To prevent Bartholinitis, eat less spicy food.

7. Treat chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract, such as cervicitis, vaginitis and other diseases that easily cause excessive leucorrhea.

8. Avoid using irritating chemicals to scrub the vulva. It is best not to use soap to clean the vulva, and avoid scratching with your hands or instruments.

Experts remind that the main reason for Bartholinitis is that it is infected by bacteria, which in turn causes poor drainage of the gland duct opening. Therefore, keeping the vulva clean is the main way to prevent Bartholinitis. If it is not treated thoroughly, acute attacks often recur.
