What are the specific criteria for the diagnosis of Bartholinitis?

The harm of Bartholinitis cannot be ignored by women. Women do not know much about Bartholinitis, and they know even less about the harm of Bartholinitis. If the Bartholin's abscess is not treated in time, it may spread to the posterior direction, forming a perirectal abscess, and sometimes even rupture into the rectum. So, what are the specific diagnostic criteria for Bartholinitis?

1. Self-body feeling:

1. Vulvar swelling and pain: The infection is mostly unilateral, with local swelling and pain in the acute phase. If an abscess is formed, the pain will worsen.

2. Fever: Fever is common, but chills are less common.

3. Swollen lymph nodes: If the inflammation persists or recurs, there may be swollen inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Results of the gynecological examination:

A hard lump can be seen at the lower 1/3 of the labia majora on one side, which is obviously painful. When an abscess is formed, the lump may increase to the size of a chicken egg or a goose egg, and may be obviously painful and fluctuate. The surface skin becomes thinner, and may even rupture naturally and ooze out a large amount of pus. Vaginal examination with a speculum is often difficult and can be postponed depending on the condition.

3. Laboratory test results:

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.

If the above results appear, it can basically be diagnosed with Bartholinitis. For ordinary people like us, it is enough to simply understand some knowledge about this aspect. In this way, we can take some corresponding precautions in our daily life in the future to prevent our health condition in time, so as to detect the disease early and treat it as soon as possible.
