How does Bartholinitis affect life expectancy?

We must understand the main hazards of Bartholinitis. Only by understanding the hazards of Bartholinitis can we help everyone correctly understand this disease and then help everyone actively treat this disease. Now, Bartholinitis is a common gynecological disease. It will not directly threaten life, but the harm it causes should not be underestimated and should be actively treated. Let us learn about the hazards of Bartholinitis.

The Bartholin's glands are located at the back of the labia majora on both sides, and the gland ducts open on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, when the vulva is contaminated by sexual intercourse, childbirth or other situations, pathogens can easily penetrate and cause inflammation.

The harm of Bartholin's glanditis is that if the abscess is not treated in time, it may occasionally spread to the posterior direction, 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.

The above are the common dangers of Bartholinitis. Experts warn: After understanding the dangers of Bartholinitis, everyone must actively go to a regular hospital to treat the disease, so as to maximize everyone's safety and health.
