Topical medications for Bartholinitis

In the early stage of Bartholinitis, if the symptoms are mild, it can be treated with local medication, usually erythromycin ointment. If the onset is acute, it can also be supplemented with systemic antibiotics. The following editor will introduce you in detail the treatment methods of Bartholinitis.

Since the incidence of Bartholinitis caused by gonococci has been increasing in recent years, it is best to squeeze the urethral opening before taking the medicine, or take the cervical secretions for bacterial culture and do bacterial sensitivity test. Before the results of the sensitivity test come out, choose antibiotics based on experience. Generally speaking, penicillin drugs have better efficacy. You can also use local hot compresses or physical therapy according to the situation to promote the disappearance of inflammation. At the same time, keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and do not wear synthetic underwear.

Once an abscess is formed, antibiotics alone are ineffective and drainage should be performed. The timing of the operation should be chosen when the fluctuation is most obvious. Generally, the incision is made below the inner side of the labia majora. The incision should not be too small so that all the pus can be completely drained out. After the pus is drained and the inflammation begins to subside, a sitz bath with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution is performed.

There are two methods for treating Bartholin's gland cyst. One is cystectomy, which is to remove the cyst completely. However, due to the large trauma, it is now rarely used. Instead, cystostomy is used. The incision of the ostomy is chosen below the cyst to allow all the cystic fluid to flow out. At the same time, a drainage strip is used to prevent adhesion of the stoma. A 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution is used for sitz bath. The prognosis is generally good, and the function of the Bartholin's gland can also be well preserved.

The above is an introduction to local medications for Bartholin's glanditis. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
