What drugs are commonly used to treat Bartholinitis?

The Bartholin's glands are located behind the labia majora on both sides, and the gland duct opens on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, when the vulva is contaminated during sexual intercourse, childbirth or other situations, pathogens can easily penetrate and cause inflammation. So, what drugs are generally used to treat Bartholin's gland inflammation?

Treatment principles

1. For acute inflammation, bed rest and antibiotic treatment;

2. Local hot compress or sitz bath;

3. After the abscess is formed, incision and drainage are performed, and ostomy is performed.

Treatment

In the acute stage, you should absolutely stay in bed and pay attention to local cleaning, local cold compress, and use antibiotics. If an abscess has formed, it should be incised and drained immediately. The incision should be made at the thinnest part of the skin. Generally, a half arc incision is made on the inner side of the labia majora to drain pus. You can also use an 18-gauge needle to pierce the abscess cavity from the mucosal side after disinfecting the vulva, suck out the pus, leave the needle in place, and slowly inject 200,000 to 400,000 units of penicillin saline. After pulling out the needle, press with gauze or cotton balls for several minutes to prevent the drug from leaking out, and add a vulvar pad and fix it with a menstrual belt. After this method of treatment, the inflammation can usually subside within 24 hours, and the pain can be relieved. If the effect is not significant, the incision and drainage method can be adopted again. Various methods for treating Bartholin's gland cysts can also be used for treatment.

Medication principles

1. In the early stage of Bartholin's glanditis, 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution sitz bath, hot compress, oral metronidazole and antibiotics are the main treatments;

2. After the abscess is formed, it is advisable to make an incision, drain the pus and administer antibiotics; 3. Patients with high fever should be given intravenous medication and pay attention to supportive therapy. Antibiotics can be selected based on drug sensitivity tests.

The above-mentioned treatment drugs for Bartholinitis have been tested in practice and have good effects. After mastering the treatment drugs for Bartholinitis, everyone is required to actively go to a regular hospital to diagnose and treat this disease.
