Three common diagnostic methods for Bartholinitis

The occurrence of Bartholinitis makes patients very worried, and even when it occurs, there will be many impacts. We need to pay attention to the occurrence of the disease in normal times. We must pay attention to some simple methods to avoid causing abscesses, causing pain during sexual intercourse and abdominal pain, otherwise the consequences will be serious. The diagnosis of Bartholinitis has important reference value for the accurate treatment of the disease. The following introduces three common diagnostic methods for Bartholinitis.

1. Gynecological internal examination:

Bartholinitis is manifested by pain and swelling on one side of the vulva, often accompanied by chills, fever, chills, local redness, obvious tenderness, and swelling at the lower 1/3 of the labia majora. If an abscess is formed, an egg-sized lump can be seen, with a sense of fluctuation, which can rupture on its own, and swollen lymph nodes in the corresponding area. In this regard, 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 whether there are any abnormalities in the urethral opening and paraurethral glands.

2. Laboratory diagnosis:

1. Secretion smear and bacterial culture examination: Generally, secretions are taken from the opening of the Bartholin's glands, the urethral orifice, and the paraurethral glands for smear examination to determine the pathogenic bacteria; or bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test can be performed directly.

2. Routine blood test: The total white blood cell count may increase significantly.

3. Examination of secretions under a microscope:

(1) Specimen collection: In patients with Bartholinitis, secretions are usually collected from the Bartholin gland opening, urethral orifice, and paraurethral glands. In patients with Bartholin gland abscess or cyst, puncture fluid can be extracted aseptically.

(2) Examination method: Smear the secretions or puncture fluid, and after Gram staining, check for the presence of bacteria under an oil microscope and observe the morphology and staining characteristics of the bacteria.

(3) Clinical diagnostic significance and evaluation:

1) Pus is drawn out from an abscess, while mucus is drawn out from a cyst.

2) After Gram staining of the secretions or pus smear of Bartholin's glanditis, bacteria can usually be found under a microscope, and a preliminary diagnosis of the pathogen can be made based on the bacterial morphology and Gram staining characteristics.

I believe that every woman does not want to suffer from Bartholinitis, not only because it is very harmful, but more because it will affect health and bring pain. Therefore, for our healthy life, we must take precautions against Bartholinitis, so that we can ensure that we live a pain-free life.
