How many years can a person with Bartholinitis live?

The Bartholin's glands are located behind the labia majora on both sides, and the gland duct opens on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, when the vulva is contaminated during sex, childbirth or other situations, pathogens can easily penetrate and cause inflammation. Bartholin's gland inflammation is a common gynecological inflammation. Generally, it can be cured with timely treatment and will not directly affect life expectancy. Traditional Chinese medicine has also achieved good results in the dialectical treatment of Bartholin's gland inflammation. Let's take a look at the classification treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.

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 the disease to a certain extent.
