Treatment of Acute Bartholinitis with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine

Bartholinitis is an inflammation caused by infection with multiple pathogens. If Bartholinitis is not treated in time, it will cause acute suppurative inflammation and become Bartholin's gland abscess. This disease is more common in women of childbearing age and less common in young girls and postmenopausal women. Therefore, the disease should be treated in a timely and comprehensive manner. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has a good effect in the treatment of acute Bartholinitis. The following editor will introduce it to you in detail.

1. Use antibiotics and Chinese medicine for external treatment

Inflammation of the Bartholin's glands is mostly caused by pathogenic bacteria invading the vulva. Antibiotic treatment has a certain effect, but it is often easy to relapse. If repeated infection occurs, external treatment with traditional Chinese medicine has a satisfactory effect. For those with obvious gland swelling in the acute stage but not yet purulent, 8 million to 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 can be decocted, removed from the residue, and then taken for a sitz bath or fumigated. 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 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 drained. At this time, Chinese medicine can be taken orally and externally to accelerate the discharge of pus and quickly subside inflammation. The heat-clearing and detoxification method is usually used as the main method, supplemented by blood circulation and blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, and draining pus. Medication: Smilax glabra, Shuanghua, Forsythia suspensa, Gleditsia sinensis, Rhizoma Paniculatae, Paeonia lactiflora, Astragalus membranaceus, etc. After incision and drainage, the drainage thread is often soaked with Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron chinense, and Borneol. Then use Jie'eryin lotion or chlorhexidine lotion to clean the vulva and vagina on time.

Bartholinitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection of the Bartholin glands, which in turn causes poor drainage of the gland duct opening. Therefore, keeping the vulva clean is the main way to prevent infection. Washing the vulva every day, not wearing nylon underwear, and timely treatment of vulvitis can prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis to a certain extent.
