How long can you live with Bartholinitis?

Bartholinitis is a common gynecological inflammation. Patients will suffer a lot after the disease. If the inflammation is not treated in time, it may spread, forming abscesses, and sometimes even causing rectal rupture. Therefore, for acute Bartholinitis, it is necessary to treat it in time. Some drugs can be used to reduce inflammation, or surgery can be performed to incise and drain the pus. With timely treatment, it is very likely to be cured. It will not directly affect life.

If Bartholinitis is in the acute stage, it can cause great pain to the patient, causing local pain, redness and swelling. Especially when it is not treated in time and forms an abscess, the pain is even more severe. So how to treat acute Bartholinitis? Let's take a look at some of its treatment methods, hoping that it will be helpful to patients.

When women suffer from acute vestibular glanditis, they should pay attention to timely bed rest and keep the vulva clean. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment, and Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. Some Chinese herbal medicines with the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dispersing knots can be selected to make decoctions, and then the decoctions can be used for sitting baths. Chinese herbal medicines such as forsythia, honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, or Viola yedoensis, Phellodendron chinense, etc. can be selected. After the temperature of the liquid reaches medium, you can sit in the bath for 20 minutes, twice a day.

If the acuteness is not effectively controlled and an abscess is formed, then it is necessary to pay attention to timely incision and drainage and ostomy. Of course, drainage only temporarily relieves symptoms, and Bartholin gland abscess or cyst may still form after the incision is closed. If there is a small tear in the affected area and the pus is not discharged smoothly, it is necessary to expand the wound and drain it.

If the abscess is not treated in time, it will spread to the posterior side, thus forming a perirectal abscess, and some may even lead to rectal rupture. Some cases can be cured by incision and drainage of the abscess, but some may form fistulas, which will lead to discharge of secretions, and some may recur and not heal for a long time. After the acute stage of Bartholinitis, if the gland duct is blocked and the secretory fluid in the gland cannot be discharged and is retained, a Bartholin's gland cyst may be formed. For larger Bartholin's gland cysts, surgical treatment can be considered.

The above is the treatment method for acute Bartholinitis. It can be seen that if the acute phase cannot be controlled in time, many situations may occur. Therefore, symptomatic drug treatment should be taken in time. For cysts that appear after the acute phase, a small incision can be made to drain pus or surgical treatment can be performed. The specific method can be determined based on the patient's condition.
