The relationship between late-stage Bartholinitis and life expectancy

Bartholinitis is a common gynecological disease, an inflammation caused by bacterial infection. It is generally not difficult to treat and does not threaten life. However, untimely treatment of Bartholinitis can lead to complications. Bartholinitis is common in our daily lives. There are many patients suffering from Bartholinitis in our daily lives. Many people are very concerned about the knowledge of Bartholinitis. The existence of Bartholinitis will harm the patient's mental health. What are the complications of Bartholinitis? Let's take a look at the experts' introduction.

If the abscess is not treated promptly, it may occasionally spread posteriorly, forming a perirectal abscess, and sometimes even rupture into the rectum.

After the abscess is incised and drained, most of the abscess cavities can be completely closed and healed, but fistulas may occasionally form, with a small amount of secretions constantly discharged. When palpated, a small and hard nodule can be felt, with slight tenderness. When squeezed, pus may sometimes flow out of the fistula. Sometimes the fistula closes or narrows on its own, and pus can accumulate and form an abscess again. It may also recur and not heal for a long time.

After the acute phase of Bartholinitis, due to obstruction of the glandular duct opening, the glandular secretory fluid cannot be discharged and is retained, forming a Bartholin's gland cyst.

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. Washing the vulva every day, not wearing nylon underwear, and timely treatment of vulvitis can prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis to a certain extent.
