How is Bartholinitis diagnosed?

Nowadays, gynecological diseases are becoming more and more common among women. Bartholinitis is common in women of childbearing age. It is mainly caused by bacterial infection of the Bartholin glands, so women must pay attention to hygiene in their daily lives. So what are the examination methods for Bartholinitis?

Experts say that symptoms of Bartholinitis include pain and swelling on one side of the vulva, often accompanied by chills, fever, and chills. The lower 1/3 of the labia majora is red, tender, and swollen. If an abscess forms, an egg-sized lump can be seen, with a sense of fluctuation and can rupture on its own. The lymph nodes in the corresponding area are swollen.

Experts say that in clinical diagnosis of Bartholinitis, it is generally not difficult to diagnose based on medical history, local appearance and digital examination. However, attention should also be paid to any abnormalities in the urethral opening and paraurethral glands.

Because Bartholinitis can cause severe pain in patients, vaginal speculum examination is no longer possible and can be temporarily avoided if not necessary. Generally, secretions from the Bartholin gland opening, urethral orifice, and paraurethral glands should be taken for smear examination to check for pathogens.

Since Bartholinitis can cause great harm to the patient's health, women should actively prevent and treat Bartholinitis in their daily lives. So how to prevent and treat Bartholinitis?

Experts say that 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. Pay attention to hygiene, change and wash underwear frequently, and keep the vulva clean and dry.

At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to scratch the local area or squeeze the abscess. During the onset period, drink plenty of water and avoid spicy food. Sexual intercourse is prohibited before recovery. Wash the vulva every day, do not wear nylon underwear, and seek timely treatment for vulvitis, which can prevent the occurrence of vestibular glanditis to a certain extent.

Bartholinitis is very harmful. It is caused by insufficient cleaning of the vulva by women. Women must pay attention to hygiene, especially washing the vulva frequently to reduce the chance of illness. If you are ill, you must seek timely treatment and do not delay the disease.
