Bartholinitis has many dangers

Women don't know much about Bartholinitis, and they don't know much about the harm of Bartholinitis. Experts say: If Bartholin's gland abscess is not treated in time, it may spread to the back and form a rectal abscess, and sometimes even rupture into the rectum. In the end, how harmful is Bartholinitis? Will it endanger women's life and health?

The hazards of Bartholinitis 1.

In the acute phase, there is local pain and redness and swelling. The pain is most severe when a Bartholin's gland abscess forms. Fever is common, but chills are rare. Sometimes urination and defecation are difficult. Clinical examination can reveal a red, swollen, hard lump in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, which is obviously tender. If it has developed into an abscess, it is mostly a lump the size of an egg or apple, and is often unilateral. The skin on the surface of the lump is red and thin, and the surrounding tissues are edematous. When the inflammation is severe, it can spread to the perineum and the contralateral vulva. Local tenderness is obvious, with a sense of fluctuation, and the inguinal lymph nodes are often enlarged.

The harm of Bartholinitis 2.

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

The hazards of Bartholinitis 3.

After the incision and drainage of the Bartholin's gland, 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 sometimes flows 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.

The harm of Bartholinitis 4.

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 is a detailed introduction to the harm of Bartholinitis, and I hope it can attract the attention of female friends. If you have symptoms of Bartholinitis, you must go to the hospital for examination in time, and do not delay the disease, so as not to harm your health and avoid other gynecological diseases.
